Everywhere I look around

cute father – Daughter moment  ♥

and Mrs. silly butt

we heart Lori & Dave! Their wedding was absolutely fantastic. The day started out as a complete chaos for Toe and I. We were stuck in bad traffic while driving up the mountain to Genessee. Before we even left the house I knew that I would have to go to the restroom, but like a stubborn kid I thought “I can just hold it in”. Who would have known that we will be trapped in the car for over an hour. I’m not even going to lie, at one point I almost started to hyperventilate, I had to go THAT bad. So I made Toe pull over, but I was just too shy to go into the bushes with all the cars driving by. I was close to crying… HAHA  but we finally found the *perfect* bush and I was able to appreciate life again LOL

We still made it to the wedding in time, and even our bride was there in time. Now that’s a whole other story. Poor Lori’s car broke down on the way to Genesee (uhm, were you the reason for the traffic jam missy?! LOL). So she was standing there until a good Samaritan picked her up. What a story to tell! “I picked up a damsel in distress on her wedding day and brought her to the chapel”

So, as you can see, a day full of adventure! I loved their wedding so much, it was simply beautiful and very spiritual. Here are a few of my favorites:

mhhhhh… cake!

Finally more pictures from my friends wedding! This was one of the best weddings I have ever been to. The love and respect that those two have for each other is beautiful and inspiring. Seun was a gorgeous bride, but see for yourself:

my dear Pastor – one of the most amazing men you will ever meet!

how adorable is he!

oh my, stunning!

On Saturday I had the pleasure to attend and photograph the wedding of my friend Shina and his beautiful wife Seun. I met them at my church and they are some of the most loving human beings I ever met. Seun will be the perfect wife. And Shina will be an amazing husband. Both of them are a wonderful inspiration to me. When I look at them I see the marriage that I want for myself one day.

I will post more pictures soon. What a fun wedding!!

Remember Dan & Lindsey?  While they are tanning their hide somewhere in Jamaica, we thought we would share a little picture from their wedding that happened last weekend. We will bring you more in just a few days, so check back soon ^^

We arrived at the salon and took a few pictures of Kristina, her mom and sister, and then headed over to The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park.   Estes Park is SO BEAUTIFUL.. I would live there in a heartbeat! I love that you have to cross the lake on this looong bridge to get into town- which is nestled in a valley of the Rocky Mountains. The Stanley overlooks Estes Park, very majestic! There were 12 weddings at the hotel this day.. Crazy.

Oh, did I mention Kristina is PREGNANT! YAY!

After getting ready in their suite, we headed up to the ceremony site. Stef and I had no idea it was a 30 minute 4×4 ride of tilts and bumps. Was rather funny to see this jeep barreling through the woods carrying a bride, her maid and two photographers. Once up the mountain, we found ourselves overlooking the whole valley. It was a pretty gloomy day, which we were thrilled about- perfect lighting! Looking out across the valley I can see why Kristina and Alan chose this location. It was breathtaking!

Alan did such a good job trying not to look at his lovely bride until she started walking up to the edge of the clift, where we were gathered. It was so sweet, when Kristina had to ask her father to let go of her hand! I tear up just thinking about it. There were some very touching moments that I can clearly recall… Kristina’s vows were so touching and sweet. Not only did I cry, right along with her, so did quite a few of her guests. She also had some trouble getting Alan’s ring on! Okay, a lot of trouble. hehe.

After the ceremony we worked our way back down the mountain with the bride and groom stopping along the way every now and then to grab some pictures. Eventually we ended up back at the Stanley and finished up our “We Did It” images. SO sweet! These two are total naturals in front of a lens or two! It was pretty neat to see all the other photographers there also, and every once in a while I’d catch them stealing one or two frames after we posed the couple.

Frame crasher!!
