Okay, so this is mostly Jenna getting ready, but still.

Jenna with some of her bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, and the bridesman. I love that she has a bridesman.


She had 2 dresses for the wedding day! This first one was her mom’s (right?) and she wore it in the temple for the actual ceremony.
And this is the dress that she wore for the rest of the day! It’s so beautiful and so her!


They did a little gift exchange and it was so fun to watch them both open their gifts!



Jenna got some gorgeous pearls, which she immediately put on!


Famous wedding blogger, remember?
So this is where she gets it 🙂
Jen? I assume this isn’t a hail Mary.
This light was killing me during the shoot, but I totally love it now!
This is her ‘something blue.’ Her mom, while buttoning, “What is this ugly blue button??”


Big thanks to my second shooter of the morning!

Yes, this is still the wedding of J&S. Forgive me for not being able to wait to post this. That handsome groom happens to be Polish (real Polish, like, he grew up there) and there were a few Polish traditions that Jenna blogged about once upon an August.

According to tradition (correct me if I’m wrong), it was the job of the groomsmen to lay on the bed and warm it up for the newlyweds. The bridesmaids were in charge of jumping up and down on the bed to make sure it was sturdy enough. I don’t think this bride expected these traditions to come to fruition. In fact, I believe I can quote her in saying, “the best man isn’t coming anywhere near our hotel room to warm things up for us.” How so very wrong you were my dear. So very wrong.

Hey, at least we didn’t leave any rocks or come back the next day to inspect the sheets :).

You haven’t forgotten about my Puerto Vallarta couple have you? They got married a couple of weeks ago in Washington and I got to be there to photograph the historic day! This week will be a fun-filled one of many posts dedicated to J&S. Jenna was my very first ever roommate at BYU (and makes the top 3 list of favorites, out of 32!), so she gets special treatment (she’s also a famous wedding blogger).

To start things off I’ve included a photograph of the lovely couple that I love so dearly. Happy marriage :). Hope you enjoy the posts!

This was such a fun, unique wedding! I got to fly into Portland for a little engagement session a few days before the big day and then we drove up to Chehalis, Washington for a wedding in a barn! All the details were so different and so them. Just check out her dress and cowboy boots!

Special thanks to my second-shooter Jaqui!

The radical ring







Meanwhile, the guys got ready in the men’s room oh, about 10 minutes 🙂

Got some portraits done before the ceremony, but with no bride! These bridesmaids, they pretty much rock. We could totally be friends. It was such a great weekend!

Isn’t the flower girl so adorable?? If you look closely you can see that she’s wearing cowboy boots too.



The bride’s little sister 🙂


Ring bearer!



And it’s GO time!


The flower girl had a basket full of leaves that she dropped instead of flowers.








The second I saw those stairs I wanted to do this tilt-shift shot. And dang, that sky could not have been bluer.


Beautiful flowers in mason jar centerpieces!
Here’s their cake, which they cut and fed each other, but they also had peach cobbler!

Yes, I couldn’t help but take a self-portrait during the dinner break 🙂



Sisters 🙂

Party time! They had such a fun first dance!

I think they really want that garter…
First he did a little dance around his bride…
and this man knows how to take off a garter!
The couple that caught the bouquet and garter are together! And they only had to knock over a few small children and old people to get them. They were so cute and excited :). LOVE it!



AND the school bus shuttle. It was wicked cool.
I’m a sucker for those holding out the camera self-portraits.

Congratulations Nicole and Quincy! Thank you again SO much for having me. It was a blast getting to know you!
