Kristina and Shawn’s wedding was a first for me: my commute for the day was a simple elevator ride up to the fifth floor of the hotel we were living in! Kristina and Shawn’s wedding happened in the middle of our evacuation from the Black Forest Fire and it was completely by coincidence that we ended up in the very hotel they were being married in. Lindsay Schmidt stepped in for Nic to second shoot with me which we appreciated so much during that heavily emotional and uncertain time. It was fantastic to work with her! Kristina and Shawn were wonderful and gracious hosts and so sweet to me–they really went above and beyond in making sure we felt loved! Kristina’s smile is infectious and she radiated joy. I can’t look at the images of her smile without smiling myself! It was such a pleasure to witness this family of five becoming official–watching the girls cry during the ceremony just about tipped me over into a sob-fest myself! As if a wonderful family wasn’t enough, this wedding brought together some of my favorite vendors–wedding coordinator Danielle of Entwined Planning and florist Dawn of Hillside Consultants ensured that all the details were stunning.

One of our first brides (and my later BFF), Bernadette, works with Kristina, so we recreated a shot with Danielle from the photobooth at Bernadette’s first wedding, complete with the tally of the things we’ve gained since then! I think we’re going to need to find a way to do this at a wedding again in another five years. Thanks for letting us hijack your photobooth, Kristina!
