Our dear friends Whitney & Bethany (Glass Jar Photography) are stupid good at what they do. They blessed our socks off by giving Eric & I the most romantic 10 year wedding anniversary session while we were all in France.
Seriously love this man...these photos...& my crazy talented friends. Cheers to the best 10 years of my life & many many more to come.
I've had the privilege of mentoring this young lady since she was in 6th grade...and have been praying for her future husband since then as well. Watching her fall in love with this amazing man was so surreal for me. I love them both so so much & am so grateful to have been a part of their wedding in such a special way.
Several weeks ago my husband & two of our friends (one of them who happens to be my band mate) took an epic trip to Europe. The first of our four stops was London. I have been dying to share with you some images & stories from our trip. The easiest way to do this...is through this handy blog of mine. So, if you have the time & feel like exploring the world a bit with me...have a looksie.
It doesn't hurt that all of us are photographers & happened to have our cameras with us at all times. Thanks to Whitney & Bethany (Glass Jar Photography) for taking the pics I'm in (cause I am definitely not talented enough to take pics of that caliber of myself). Props to them (and us) to capturing this trip in such a special way.
So here is Part I - LONDON ENGLAND
The sun was setting fast on our last night in Paris. I had been begging Whit & Bethany the whole trip to let me take a few pics of them. They happily celebrated 6 years of marriage in April, are fantastic photographers themselves & yet...have almost zero professional pics together. So I finally convinced (or coerced) them into a 15min session in the city of love. Who wouldn't want to take pics of their adorable faces?!
It's wedding season. I barely have time to breathe let alone blog.
Yet here I am staying up late, to show you even a few of these images from my beautiful cousins wedding. Because...I simply can't get enough of these two. Such sweet love. So worth no sleep.
What. An. Adventure. First of all...Norway?! Heck yes.
How we ended up at the location in Part I of this shoot is a craziness. We were frantically wandering the island trying to find the perfect rocks as the sun was setting. We came upon a backyard & the owner overheard us saying we needed to go get a boat (in order to get to where I wanted to be). This kind stranger says..."I have a boat...why don't you use IT"?! Um WHAT?! So off we went in a strangers boat to chase the sun, explore the ocean & find the perfect island spot to complete our shoot. We were splashed on during the journey & had no tie up for the boat...but we embraced it all & had a blast.
A big thanks to Whitney Dean (Glass Jar Photography) for second shooting this with me & to Ilse Papst for making Inga's wildflower bouquet for this shoot.
Before we got their wedding garb wet...we made them hike through a forest of dirt & mosquitoes. Anything for a good pic right? Part II of this shoot was deep in the woods to a set of World War II steps & a moss ridden expanse of greenery. Beautiful indeed.
PNW to Cali. Mmmmm yes.
It was so emotional & captivating watching these two become one. So grateful.
Cinderella herself would have planned this beautiful wedding. It was classic & elegant. It also didn't hurt that the bride emulated a princess from the inside out. Being a part of this celebration & PARTY was a one of a kind experience. Congrats you two!
From now on...I want to shoot weddings on stormy days, near a lake, with pretty people who are in love. Because it was just that good. Glad we got that settled.
Hope you enjoy the prettiness as much as I did!
To say their wedding was special would be an understatement. This blog isn't long enough for me to share with you this couple's story or the incredible & painful journey they went on before meeting one another. So, I'll have to let the pictures do some talking. Their emotion packed wedding was one of my favorites...and not just because I'm related to the groom. It would have been even if I wasn't. I am SO beyond proud of these two, excited for their marriage & honored to have been a part of their incredible day.
Love them and their little girls to pieces. What a precious family you have created!
