i think if you check out the sign these guys made for their ceremony, it will give you a good idea of what their community looks like. lots of people from lots of places, all descending on mason’s riverside family home to celebrate their marriage. it was quite the party.

a blind date gone terribly, terribly…right. 20 minutes in and sean was sold on this red headed sommelier, vowing that this would be the last first date he ever went on.
and what a way to celebrate, on sean’s parents’ beautiful estate, friends and family coming in from far and wide on a beautifully warm (ahem, hot) afternoon. freckles, cowboy boots, great wine, comfort food, a champagne sabre, cute kids and a rocking party into the night all under a big white tent.
thanks to all the wonderful vendors: venue: private estate | tent: classic party rentals | bouquets: thrifty foods morgan crossing | cupcakes: thrifty foods and tracycakes | dj: beyond sound | caterer: drew cooks | second shooter: lexa bergen

i took their picture before i knew their names. for the average person, that’s a weird thought, maybe even creepy. for a wedding photographer, it’s pretty standard practice. I spend much of the day, when not fully trained on the bride and groom, scanning the room, searching for moments, connections, beauty to document. just so happened, ryan & brittin were that beauty on a hot summer wedding day last year. little did i (or they) know that a year later after that candid shot i took of them snuggling on a couch, i would be shooting their wedding on a less hot summer day.
so beware…maybe having me take your picture as a guest at a wedding will be the new “bouquet toss” omen…you’re next! venue: tanglebank garden | caterer: brambles bistro (the food was INCREDIBLE) | dress: everything but the groom | make-up artist: becky austin | bride’s hair: kevin hughes

ashley & corey. as evidenced in the following pictures, this day was SO FULL of joy. one of the many things i love about this couple is that they were incredibly organized in advance…minute to minute schedules, labeled thank you envelopes, detailed lists…but when it came to the actual day and there happened to be a few glitches, there was no hysteria, no freak outs no bridezilla. ashley was cool as a cucumber. even when the ceremony started an hour late, you could not wipe the smile off that girl’s face. that’s how it’s done, friends! when it’s all said and done, no sense worrying about the things you can’t control.

there was a sweet conversation that took place as cherri-anne was getting ready the morning of her wedding. i told her i was entering her contact into my phone with her new last name and all the girls had a giggle over how weird it was that she was now going to have a husband. a second later, though, they all agreed that it wasn’t weird at all. they have always been “nick & cherri”. it had been so long since anyone had said one name without the other. first love, high school sweethearts…they fit right from the start. so it only made sense that they make it official…and after seeing cherri anne at so many weddings on the other side of the coin (she’s a talented hair stylist and owns her own salon), it was fun for me to capture her being pampered for once. it was her turn! cherri-anne has such a sweet relationship with her dad. i learned that she is one of two girls born to their family in five generations, so she is a treasured woman. its’ nice knowing that the kielstras will take good care of her…after doing three of their son’s weddings, they’ve welcomed me like family and i love them to pieces.
