wedding details

Sep 03, 2007

A bunch of photos of the details from Julie and Jason’s wedding on Friday:

The bride’s stunning bouquet:

Little votive candles were lit during the reception.

The wedding party came back to the girl’s getting ready room immediately after the ceremony to sign the wedding license and toast the new married couple.

The programs waiting for guests to arrive…

The centerpieces in the day time. They had framed pictures of themselves with the various table numbers, and each photo was different–some of their poses were pretty funny!

I love the ribbon threaded through the place cards:

Julie carried a single rose along with her bouquet so she could lay the rose on an empty chair in memory of her mother.

The life of a bridesmaid: flowers in one hand, booze in the other…

The wedding favors:

The flower girl’s basket of petals moments before handfuls of petals were chucked at guests like footballs.

one from last night

Sep 01, 2007

The blog is looking a little neglected, so I thought I’d post a quick share from last night’s wedding (my first as Laura’s assistant). This one is from the first dance:

There’s a new sign-up button on the left side of the blog…this time for my currently-under-development monthly or semi annually or possibly one-hit-wonder newsletter.

And…another sneak peek at a Colorado Springs senior portrait!

You may or may not have noticed this about me, but I’m obsessed with The Laughing Shot. I feel like a failure if I come home without at least one great laughing photo…and luckily my seniors have almost always been game for a laugh! (Not that I’ll disclose what it is that they’re laughing about…or I should say, at.)

This is my second Laura of the season, and she not only gave me lots of opportunities for laughing photos…but as a cheerleader, she’s probably been my best qualified to do the jump (my second of three current obessions–laughing, jumping and sun flare). If you’re lucky, I’ll share a preview with you some day.
