...and he swept her off her feet...

So, here's the photo I promised to share in the last post...Peter and Evie's dramatic "first kiss"!  :)

 

Good times with the wedding party...you all are awesome!  I really enjoyed being with you Saturday!

Yes...they love each other.  A lot.  :)

Many more coming, as I'm working through them all...tomorrow I think I'll share some one-of-a-kind photos of Peter and Evie's rings.  Pretty excited about these!

Brant and Jessica got married!

Hey everybody, sorry for the long LONG time since last post!  Am I going to sound terribly redundant if I say, "Things have been crazy"???  Sorry...they really have been crazy, unusually so, but I think they're finally slowing down a bit.  :)  And I have lots of photos to show you!

I had a lovely time photographing Brant and Jessica's Monticello, Iowa wedding today...the weather was cold but the people were delightful!  I'm downloading images at a Starbucks right now, and just couldn't wait to show a couple with you.

I saw these intense red doors yesterday -- and when we went there today the sun was in the PERFECT spot for a great photo.  Such a gift from my loving heavenly Father!  I love this shot!

Happy wedding party.  (And happy photographer.)  :)

Many more images are coming, of course, when I return home Monday...right now it's time to gather more of a certain item that has been in very short supply lately: sleep!  :)  Have a great Sunday, everyone!

Dan and Julie's wedding

Hey everyone!  I'll be posting more images soon from Dan and Julie's gorgeous outdoor wedding yesterday...they are such fun people and I have tons of great photos to show you!  Meanwhile here's a sneak peek...

Julie's vows.  So sweet.  I always get a little teary-eyed when I'm photographing weddings...it's so beautiful to see this kind of love, when two people commit their lives to each other.  Dan and Julie, may your life together be as happy and beautiful as the promises you made this day!

Till next time...

I really enjoyed photographing your wedding, Brent and Chantil!  It's beautiful how the two of you love and respect each other.  You both are such kind-hearted people -- I saw that throughout your wedding day as I photographed you, and it's just wonderful.  God bless you both!

Love these beautiful tulip centerpieces.

Adorable little baby...on the dance floor!

I have to say...you look quite natural with this little baby, Holly... ;)

And they lived happily ever after!  :)

Blake and Jae

On June 5th, Blake and Jae were married at a beautiful garden resort...and I was thrilled to pieces to be able to photograph their wedding!  :)  They are some of the most big-hearted people I think I've met.  I was really impressed by the care they took in planning their wedding so that all their guests would enjoy themselves.  They were constantly thinking of others...and it showed in all the details of their beautiful day.

What a fabulous wedding party!  Tons of personality...

...as you can see.  ;)

Jenn (with Jae, below) and her husband introduced Blake and Jae to each other.  Awwwww.  ;)

I think this was my favorite photo spot of the day.  Simply magical.

As always...more later!  :)  I have a ton more that I can hardly wait to post...once they're edited.  I'm having a ball with Lightroom 3, by the way.  :D  The new improvements Adobe has made are just fantastic.  I am in awe of the new sharpening and noise reduction capabilities.  And the import dialog.  And the export dialog. And it's faster. And, and, and.........it's just an amazing tool, now made even amazing-er!

Anyways, there are more photos coming, once Lightroom and I have worked our magic on the rest of the Raw files.  :)  Till then...have a lovely Sunday, everybody!

Brent and Chantil

These last few weeks have been so full I've barely had time to post, but I had to give you a quick peek of Brent and Chantil's wedding last Saturday.  They are such a sweet couple.  I love seeing how they love and honor each other, and the way they each admire the other's qualities.  And I am sure they have a wonderful life ahead of them together!

More later...
