Sheila and Josh's Wedding

A couple of weeks ago Sheila and Josh got married, and Colleen Donovan let me tag along with her and help her in photographing their wedding. Colleen is an amazing photographer and I always feel so honored when I get to work with her. The wedding was at the CMA church here in Moses Lake, followed by a reception at Hidden Meadow. I had forgotten how much I like to photograph weddings. I had so much fun. Here are a couple highlights from the day...

Taking a quick breather before the ceremony begins.

The lighting of the unity candle.

They looked so happy as they walked back down the aisle as a newly wedded couple.

Everyone had fun with the confetti exit.

I got to ride in the limo with the wedding party to the reception location and got some fun shots, lucky me!

Is this not a guilty face if you've ever seen one? I bet you can guess how the cake feeding turned out...



The couple's first dance turned into one of funk and jig. It was very original, and very fun.

Congratulations to the new couple! Go Sheila and Josh!

I'm falling behind!

I know, I know, I'm a slacker. At least in the blogging world. School has been so busy and consuming that I haven't had very much extra time. So I apologize for not posting anything in a long time. I just got back from Thanksgiving break and I figured before the last few weeks of classes started up again I would hurry and get another post up. So once upon a time I took more pictures of Brittany and Kole for their wedding. I wanted to take lots more pictures at their reception and stuff, but the happy couple were casting death glares to anybody with a camera pointed their way. They make me laugh, they were so sick of pictures. But anyways, we got a few formals in a couple days before their wedding, and it was a good thing because it turned out to be insanely windy on their actual wedding day...welcome to Rexburg.

Over the Thanksgiving break my whole family got together and I got to take some family pictures for my sister. Hopefully this time it won't take me quite so long to get them posted, so keep checking back, and wish me luck on finals!!

And P.S. I have not idea why my pictures are coming are showing up smaller than my other posts or why my header is not showing up. I will have to try to figure that out. Sorry!

Tanya and Matt's Wedding

A couple of weeks ago I went and helped photograph Tanya and Matt's wedding at the Beecher Hill House in Wenatchee. This was the last wedding I was able to help out with with Colleen, and it was a photographer's dream, minus the fact that I was sick. It was a beautiful place, the weather was perfect, couldn't ask for better lighting, and the bride and groom were the sweetest people. Here's a few of my favorites from the day.

The first look brought out a few tears in Tanya.

Tanya hid on the staircase while she waited her turn to walk down the aisle so no Peeping Toms could get any sneak peeks of her.

Getting ready to be escorted downt the isle.

Don't they look so happy and excited?

They had the neatest centerpieces that were the perfect touch to their outdoor wedding.

During the reception we stole Tanya and Matt and snuck off to the orchards to take a few more pictures of just the two of them.

The toasts that were given were very sweet and heartfelt.

My New Blog!

I am so excited for my new blog! Colleen Donovan helped me put it together late one night and she did such a good job making it look amazing. Thank you Colleen!!! I can't wait to get going on it.

This summer has been a busy one filled with lots of fun. I was able to be an assistant photographer to Colleen on several different weddings and ran a second camera. I had a ton of fun while getting a lot of good experience at the same time. With so many pictures, it was hard to recap them all in just a few photos, but here's a handful of them anyway.

These are from Mike and Stephanie's wedding out at Hidden Meadow. Even though it was blazing hot, it was beautiful and we still had fun.

We made the little ring bearer cry during formals when the two flower girls leaned in to kiss his cheek, but I caught him in the act himself a little later!

This next group of photos is from Rami and Kameron's wedding out at Cave B. It was the first time I had ever been there and it is a gorgeous place. The view from the ceremony overlooking the gorge was amazing.

These last few pictures are from Scot and Annalee's wedding here in Moses Lake. I loved Scot's reaction when he saw Annalee for the first time. He just couldn't stop looking at her.

I also helped out at Tanya and Matt's wedding a week ago so keep checking back! There's more to come!
