The other side of the lens...oh, and I'm married!!!

Hi All!  I feel so happy to be back to the blogging, Facebooking, email returning, photo editing, real world that I call work.  I missed my camera and my people while I was away!!  But, I must say, that I had a pretty good excuse for being gone so long.  I am officially no longer a single lady (no matter how many times "All the Single Ladies" gets stuck in my head!).  As of last Saturday I am a married woman.  And a happy one at that! 

I just wanted to take a minute to mention that Kyle and I spent a good portion of the day and night on the other side of the lens.  Smiling, smooching, doing all of the silly things I make you all do.  We laid on the ground, clambored over hills and through waist high grass, tried to sit still while bugs crawled up our legs...all to get "the" shot.  And I'm not gonna lie, I kind of loved every minute of it.  Not only was it fun to see it all from the other side (and see how much more relaxing it is to be the subject than the photographer!...following directions is much easier than giving them!), but it was fun to get all dressed up and make out with my man.  Oh, did I write that? Oops. 

Our photographers were amazing.  We adore them and would totally hang out with them if they weren't MOVING!! (SO SAD!)  But if you live in Minneapolis (who am I kidding, I don't know anyone who lives in Minneapolis!) or even if you don't, look them up.  They're sweet, genuine, and amazing photographers!  So without further ado, here is the preview of our wedding photos!  I am in love.  Oh, and I like my husband a lot too. :)

And just because a post isn't complete without a picture, here's one of our engagement pictures also taken by Bb&Co.  Did I mention that we love them? :)

John and Rebekah - Married!

Rebekah and John were married on April 9th at Shafer Baillie Mansion in Capitol Hill.  Their ceremony and reception were perfectly intimate and beautiful with only their very closest family and friends.  The reception was a gorgeous family style meal with wine and mingling and plenty of laughter.  I usually have so many words to describe my clients and with Rebekah and John I'm slightly at a loss.  Both of them have a quiet demeanor and a calmness about them and in looking at these photos, that's just how I'm feeling.  So I suppose I'll just leave it at that.  Congratulations Rebekah and John and thank you for including me in your day!

Venue: Shafer Baillie Mansion

John + Rebekah Married!

On Saturday John and Rebekah tied the knot in the intimate and ornate setting that is the Shafer Baillie Mansion.  Surrounded by 26 of their very closest friends and family, they exchanged vows and rings and were declared "husband and wife".  It was such an honor to be among those 26. 

I'm editing now, but couldn't resist posting just one.  How adorable are these two?
