Have I mentioned how much I love weddings?! It’s amazing how after hundreds and hundreds of years, after millions and millions of weddings on Planet Earth, not one is the same. Each couple has their own story, their own personalities and their own flair. My second shooter, Debbie Brown, my good friend and owner of Brown Studios and I loved being part of this truly unique experience!
Heather and Rex were brimming with joy, laughter, and love on their big day! Excited for every moment that rounded the corner. Here is a little sneak peek into their day....full post to follow soon!
Jenny and Galen were married on October 1st, with a ceremony and reception at Galen’s family property out in Payette, ID. While I love every wedding I get to be part of, this one has an extra special place in my heart because Jenny has been a friend of mine for years. This genuine, beautiful, honest, sweet soul has gotten me through so many ups and downs, but it was when she reconnected with Galen after years of going in separate directions that I knew she’d found something that was meant to be.
Alex and Molly were married on May 23rd, with a ceremony and reception at Mountain Springs Lodge in Leavenworth, WA. During the ceremony, Alex and Molly did a butterfly release, which was meant to symbolize things like grace, growth, expansion, elegance, surrender, transition, and celebration. Alex and Molly gave away miniature succulents as their wedding ‘thank you’ gift, in part because of their passion for all that is living and green and their respect for the earth and all it provides for us. During the reception, Alex and Molly asked everyone to gather around the dance floor because Alex wanted to do a special dance with the whole group. When this kind of thing happens, half the time, I don’t know what to expect—especially when that dance is called the Banana Dance.
I come by my love for all things paper with pretty fonts and colors honestly! My mom has had a small obsession with them ever since I was a little girl. I always remember going into her desk drawers and seeing very neatly organized files filled with gorgeous paper products - something for just about every occasion. So today I want to let you know about a company I have partnered with that can give you all this in one place for your wedding paper needs.
Ty and Amanda were married on July 9th, with a ceremony and reception at Still Water Hollow.
I met Ty and Amanda in a coffee shop for the first time for an “interview” before the big day, and from the get-go, I was received by two very smiley, gentle people. These genuine souls with huge hearts and sweetness running through their veins had a little voice inside me saying, “Oh, oh, pick me, pick me!” and hoping that they would choose me to be their photographer. That kind of connection is such a vital part of the photography process!
