We had the pleasure of shooting Andrea and Jason’s wedding last weekend. It was at the gorgeous Sylvan Dale Ranch and we lucked out on the weather–no rain, and it wasn’t too hot!
This was actually our second purple and green wedding in a row! I keep telling Nic that purple has made a huge come-back this year, but he doesn’t seem to find that as interesting as I do:
The girls got ready at one of the cabins:
Andrea’s aunt brought pictures of her from when she was little:
The bridesmaids all had their hair done and it looked awesome!
I like that one in color, too:
The groom had a gift sent over to his bride:
And then it was show-time:
There were a bunch of cute little ones at the wedding. I love the warning look Andrea’s mother is giving the ring bearer in this one!
Just married!
Stealing a kiss at the end of the aisle:
A few quick portraits of the bride and groom:
My favorite from the day thanks to some dramatic evening light:
The father-daughter dances always get me:
Jason’s dad kept us laughing with his fantastic dance moves at the reception:
Jason and Andrea had a beautiful wedding with lots of great touches. Jason even sang Andrea a song during the reception and totally blew me away. No back-up instrumentals or anything–he can SING. We wish them tons of happiness!

Behind the scenes: Nic and I spend a lot of time crouching at weddings so as to be slightly less obnoxious. Here’s a shot of a typical maneuver: walking a few steps up the aisle, crouching and grabbing the shot, and then moving back. It’s a good thing we both have military experience. It really comes in handy for these types of stealth operations. ;)
And instead of one of me, I bring you this cute bunny. I told Nic I’d give him 10 points if he got an awesome wildlife shot while he was waiting for the men to arrive, and he totally gets them:
