Yes, I know a lot of pictures. I couldn’t narrow it down any more…believe me I TRIED. I even left out a bunch that I really like too. So, before I get to the story of Ryan and Chelsey, I have a preference question for you. Would you prefer to see the images as stills or in a slide show on my blog?
Alright here comes the part you really want to know about…the shoot! I photographed a wedding in Washington State when I first started my photography business. Jay and Erin flew me out to be a part of their wedding on the lake in the mountains. It was gorgeous and I was in picture heaven. Well, this is part II of the Morris Family Weddings for me. I am going to be taking photos of Ryan and Chelsey in Nauvoo, Illinois in the spring for the wedding and then off to Wisconsin for their reception. I couldn’t be more thrilled. I get to fly into Chicago and will have some time to play there. (Any suggestions?) For these photos, Ryan flew in from Washington and Chelsey came in from Idaho. We then traveled some more to this lovely little spot in Tremonton. Loved the bike, loved the couple and loved the lighting. Chelsey, I can’t wait to see you again for your bridal session!
Recently I booked a wedding in Washington. When I found out it was a wedding on the coast, I was thrilled. The wedding was held at the beautiful Judith Ann Inn where friends and family gathered to celebrate the union of one really cool couple and their beautiful daughter. I can tell you that since I lived in Washington I knew that the chances for rain on the coast for the day of the wedding would be pretty high. Can anyone guess what kind of weather we had? Rain, wind and more rain. That makes taking formal pictures kind of dicey. Frank and Heather were great about standing in the freezing rain on the beach and the balconies of the Inn all in the name of getting great photos! That is my kind of couple. The coolest part about their wedding story is that their first date was at Ocean Shores and on that anniversary several years later Frank proposed to Heather there. Frank and Heather decided it would seriously rock if they got married at Ocean Shores on the anniversary of both of the events that started it all. That is pretty cool and I give Frank serious kudos for only having to remember ONE important anniversary date each year!
