J&S: Ring Ceremony

The Groom's parents were unable to attend the actual sealing inside the temple so they had a beautiful ring ceremony at the hotel where they had the reception. It wasn't a big frilly deal, but very simple and nice.

Here they're holding a copy of The Family: A Proclamation to the World.
Their friend Lindsey read an excerpt for them by CS Lewis (I don't remember that the excerpt was...but it was lovely ).

They read "vows" to each other and Jenna's was so touching it made me tear up!

They had cool buttons everywhere, including down the aisle!

They weren't allowed to have candles, but Jenna found this awesome chandelier and did the whole melted candle look herself! It hung above them and was such a great touch!

Congratulations! Again

Williams family

This family has waited so patiently for their pictures during this crazy busy time! This is my new favorite place to shoot ever, the only problem is it's in Seattle. And I'm not. It's called Gas Works Park. Isn't it the best???

I have many photographic dreams. These next 2 pictures fulfilled one of those dreams.

We also went down to Pike's Place. So fun!

I LOVE Seattle.

J&S: Bridal Party

Bridal party time! We didn't have much time for the groomsmen so did them at the temple and they turned out great! Those are some hot guys!

Whose idea was this again??
We only had about 4 minutes for a bridal party picture so we did a quick one in the hotel where they had the reception. Cool little lounge, eh??
Off to do the bridesmaids (and bridesman)! LOVE these vintage suitcases and the sass I'm getting from everyone .

I love this one. Love it.
We got really cool shots of the bride with all her bridesmaids right here, but this is her and her sister!

When was the last time you saw a bridal party that looked this good??

Coming out of the Temple!

After the sealing we all waited patiently for the newlyweds to emerge...

So I snapped a few of the bridesmaids.

and the way cool boutonnieres!
And here they come! For the first time as husband and wife! Typical Jenna, leading him out, so excited to face the crowds
Another Polish tradition! Jenna's new father-in-law poured a bag full of coins over their heads!
Picking up said coins!

Confused about how many Polish kisses to the cheek Jenna?
Hugs from the bridesmaids!
Cute new hubby can't take his eyes off his bride

One of the many massive group shots!

J&S: First Look and Woodsy Portraits

Before the ceremony they met in the forest for a first look. So. Beautiful.

We were then met by the rest of their families (minus one Polish sister that couldn't make it).

And then grabbed some quick portraits in this UH-MAZING light.

Stunning. She is stunning.
