A few years ago I was asked to shoot a wedding.. all.by.myself.  I had second shot a few times and decided I would say yes.  I was terrified, and excited all at the same time.  I did it.  I loved it.  They love the images and it was heavenly.  It was Jana’s brother.  Later I did her whole family’s pictures.  And then I did another wedding where Jana was a bridesmaid.  And I was thrilled when I was asked to do her wedding.

Jana and Steve are one of those couples you just love.  They are kind and sweet.  They are so grateful and one of the kindest couples to work with.  I love that they are up for anything I throw at them.  They were married 8.14.10 at the Columbia River LDS Temple, in Richland, Washington for time and all eternity.  I love when couple come out of the temple so excited and ready for this new chapter in their life.  It makes my heart flutter.  Now on to the good stuff.

Steve and Jana were so excited to see all of the friends and family who were waiting for them to come outside.  There  was a lot of cheering.I love Jana’s dress.  Seriously love it.  I still love my wedding dress that I was married in, but this dress it is up there on my list of dresses I love.  And she was rocking it.

And the bouquet.. gorgeous!  Jana had this whole style going for her wedding day, she looked stunning.  And Steve was looking pretty good next to her.I love the happiness that these two ooze.  They are so full of life and made this day so much fun!It was a hot day.  And the sun was out in full force, but they worked.I love intensity in Steve’s face. These two have the most gorgeous eyes.I had to get a nice laid back picture of Steve.  You can tell he feels like the luckiest guy ever.
I love how relaxed she is.  And still so gorgeous.
I could watch these two interact all day. The moments like this make me happy.  I love some pretty sun flare at the right time. Steve and his boys.  The girls were digging their shoes. And the gorgeous women of  the day.  The three girls on the left.. their Jana’s sisters.  Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your day.  To be their for those moments that will last a lifetime.

Matt and Andrea were married in June on a beautiful Saturday full of crazy Tri-City weather.  They were married in Matt’s parents back yard and had a beautiful intimate ceremony.  It was small and perfect.  I am so excited for their future.  Those two are so in love and happy I cannot wait to see all that they do.

Andrea had a beautiful dress.  It was beautiful on her and she radiated.
She had her best friend helping her get ready.  I loved being there and seeing the attention to detail.  Good friends like that are hard to find.Andrea had the most GORGEOUS shoes.  I love them!I recommend couples doing a first look before the ceremony.  I love the feelings that they get.  And the quiet moment is perfect to be able to watch and capture the start of their new life together.Andrea was gorgeous as ever.  And you could tell how happy these two were to be starting a life together.Andrea’s daughter Brielle was the most darling flower girl ever.Congratulations Matt and Andrea!  Thank you for letting me part of such a special day!
