rain didn't stop things,
it started things.
it inspired and sparked.
the wedding of the ever-excited kristin & jason.
en-joy!
they had cream puffs from beard papa's!
covered in plastic so they wouldn't be damp.
smart.
the entire day kristin was a shining star.
lets talk about jason now,
and how MUCH WE LIKE HIM!
most colorful wedding i've photographed in my life.
of course i LOVED IT!
location, monte verde park
cream puffs for dessert, beard papa's
bridesmaids dresses, custom made by women in cambodia, supporting their small business. cool huh?

alexander said he was first attracted to her dark hair and her eyebrows.
a man who notices eyebrows is a MAN.
ah!
eyebrows matter.
i just like it. xander, your parents rule!
so hot.
when xander and the guys busted out the mustaches i could barely hold myself together. an absolute crack up.
when xander then proceeded to completely cry as natalie walked down the aisle, i also could barely hold myself together.
so happy for the two of you :)

i never apologize for not blogging fast enough because that assumes two things.
#1) that i am responsible to provide visual amazingness to you every single day
and #2) that you are checking my blog often enough to notice that i havent posted in 5 days. (dont be embarrased. i like people like you.)
so! if you fall into category #2,
this time i'm sorry!
life!
the world!
its crazy.
the wait has been worth it because i am about to shower you with images.
beth,
and,
todd.
it's rarely something that seems right with my images and my vision.
but this time it did,
it seemed perfect.
love this,
BETH!!!!!!!!!!!
first time i've ever met a bouquet with a name.
you will WANT her to do yours!
most free and beautiful flowers ever.
such an honor to be able to photograph them, rach!
is this the first time i've posted a family photo?
yes! enjoy,
so sweet!

nothing because of expectation
nothing that wasn't totally them.
a truly lovely day that celebrated who they are as a couple---------
with so many hand-made touches that were perfect.
did she make that tie? yes.
did they made the boutenierres? yes yes yes.
two previous brides were there with their NEW BABIES!!
katie and danielle!
