LDS Wedding

Home sweet Home

in

Jenn and Jared were married in the LDS San Antonio Temple.  I LOVE the colors of the stained glass windows, and could we have found a more attractive couple to put in front of them??

My favorite thing about Jenn and Jared is how happy they look when they are together.  Their families look pretty happy too.

One of the reasons I was so excited to shoot at the San Antonio temple is because I grew up in Austin.  When I was little, the closest temple to us was Dallas, then Houston, and finally when I was about 17 the San Antonio temple was built.  I attended the open house and dedication, and it was a great experience to see that kind of growth in such a short period of time.

Austin will always feel like my hometown.  I love the culture and energy there. Maybe we'll end up there one day.

Zmoos Wedding- Salt Lake City

in

One of the top reasons I liked working with Abbey and Taylor is even when things went wrong, sometimes disastrously so, they were still so pleasant and happy. They had had some fairly large hurdles to overcome with their formal session and as the day of the wedding came things seemed to continue in that same vein. Abbey and Taylor had extended family in town for the weekend, and apparently some of the nieces came bearing gifts in the form of plague. The little Typhoid Marys kindly shared a nice violent flu with everyone in the family, including the bride, a few days before the big day itself. Although Abbey was mostly feeling better by the morning of the wedding, on the way to the Salt Lake Temple she had an allergic reaction to something, and her eye swelled almost completely shut (fortunately a temporary situation!). Later, about halfway through the newlywed photos, Taylor's tux coat button popped off for the second time. Finally, someone accidentally spilled water over one of their favorite enlargements from the bridal session, right before the reception was due to begin. Despite this and the normal stress and craziness that come part and parcel in a wedding day, Abbey and Taylor were both happy, smiling, and thoroughly in love. It was extraordinary, and they were awesome!

I thought this was precious....

You got to be careful with a whole bunch of groomsman who are bigger than you. Crazy stuff happens. ;)

A Vintage Dress, Fit For a Princess

in

Anastasia grew up watching Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson each get married and looking at all those old pics from famous weddings in the 1950s and 1960s- it definitely had an impact on her wedding style. In fact, her wedding dress was made as an exact replica of Grace Kelly's wedding dress when she married the Prince of Monaco. Her dress was beautiful, and definitely one of the most unique I have shot. The tulips were in full bloom for the shoot- definitely one of my favorite flowers.

A horse and carriage ride was definitely a requirement. :)

Just take a look at that veil and the back of the dress....

I think the vintage feel of this one really fits the dress.
