Adam and Jessa 09.04.09

As promised nearly a month ago, here are some more pics of Adam and Jessa's wedding.

Jessa getting ready. They had just moved all of their things into the new apartment a couple of days before the wedding, so the night before we hid all of the boxes so they would not be in every picture.

This is one of my favorites of the day. She looks so beautiful.

Jess chose to have bright red lips for the ceremony, which is great until she kissed Adam.

we snuck outside of the church to take some pics, while everyone arrived. It was nice to get outside away from wedding day chaos.

I love a good black and white photo. I have been experimenting with darker photos. It is not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it.

The rings.

This wedding was filled with prayer. This is their first prayer as a married couple, and then they chose to take their first communion as a couple together as well.

Both Adam and Jessa are breakfast food junkies, so for their reception, they chose to serve breakfast, and since cake is not acceptable for breakfast . . . they had CINNAMON ROLLS!!!

(Everything about that wedding was dark, yet this shot is not. . . go figure)

Just a Begining

Adam and Jess (my best friend) were married last night. I am not finished editing, but I had to share just a few pics, before I leave fot the Tour on monday.

Jessa getting ready. you can see her newly peirced nose, which reflects a peice of ancient wedding tradition of peircing a bride's nose (Ezekeil 16)

This pic is for Jess's cousin Amanda who could not make it to the wedding, because she is serving our nation in the USMC.

Jess love's her jewelry. She was very intentional about every peice.

This is during Jess and Adam's first meeting of the day.

This is my favorite, it is unedited (except a little contrast on their faces) . My flash is a bit sketch, but sometimes it does amazing things . . .

More to come soon.

quick glimpse of things to come

so last week i was blessed with the opportunuty to shoot a wedding (my first). it was fantastic. here is a breif glimpse of what will surely be a longer post.

i am sure you are wondering at a wedding post with pictures of hayride. the bride and groom wanted to make sure parents could bring their kids, so they let everyone know to bring a change of clothes for the hayride!

this is the bride, looking stunning, even though it was a scorcher that afternoon. quirky bit of trivia: her dress, she bought "un-worn" for $25. amazing.

i loved their cake. the top is carrot, middle was red velvet, and of course becuse this was a kid friendly wedding there was chocolate.
