Jenn & Dave: August 12, 2006

Not much B&W shooting at this gorgeous Hawaiian themed wedding. Jenn is another bride that I knew I would love from the moment we met. She's a doll and she and Dave (and all of their family - some flew in from Japan for the wedding!) were a delight to work with. Everyone had fun and the casual atmosphere led to some great reception moments. (see below). ON to the images!

A toast before the ceremony.



Jenn & Dave as they see each other for the first time.
I love Flower Girls
And Ring Bearers too. Look at the ring pillow - it's a shell - cool!
Jenn and her Dad - thank you light gods!

Entering the reception

I know this shot is done to death, but the guys love it and I thought the Hawaiian shirts and the mountains in the background were a nice twist.


First Dance

This crowd easily wins the most enthusiastic dancers of the summer title.

One more.....

Alisa & Eli: July 29, 2006


Alisa and Eli had a wonderful outdoor wedding ceremony and reception at Eli's parents ranch this past weekend. They were surrounded by friends and family and danced the night away in the barn, which was converted to a dance floor. I loved being there. You two are wonderful people - thanks for making my job easy.

The Dress



Getting into the dress.....I think this is one of my favorite parts of the day.


Alisa coming down the stairs on the way to the ceremony. All her bridesmaids and best friends were waiting at the doorway to escort her. Does she glow or what?


Due to the ceremony set up, there was no place for Alisa to hide prior to walking down the aisle, so the bridal party walked in front of her so Eli couldn't see her.


This is her Dad waiting for her at the aisle. Awwww....



Breaking the glass at the end of the ceremony.

And now for the dancing!


Who can resist the YMCA?




Congratulations!
