tim and marisa.

tim was the first person i met at Biola where we went to school, and from day one he was THE happiest, friendliest person.  for the past 5 years, feels like his smile has never left him.

marisa and i were art majors together,
which explains the reason her wedding was so pretty.
she made everything.
hand-made literally hundreds of felt and fabric flowers.
made the bridesmaids' headbands.
made the paper cranes.
SO PRETTY!!

to photograph my two good friends,
on their wedding day,
a wedding on campus at biola university,
= so fun for me.

at the beginning of the day i realized that i was all jazzed up because i work best when i have a deep sense of familiarity.  i love photographing the same place over and over and finding new things each time.  i haven't photographed a wedding here until now.... but doing life here for five years made me quite quite familiar.  so the whole day felt so normal. in a special way that i really enjoyed.

Her wedding colors coordinate with your colors in the "hello hello I'm Shannon!" photo at the top of your blog. Did she plan that?
