Endless Details...

.... ahh the details of a wedding... there are a ton of details that go into every wedding..... from invitations to flowers to rings and accessories. And every bride stresses about them to some extent........ understandable.. it's one day and you want it to be just right!
We photographers love all the little details..... rings, flowers, accessories..... all fun to shoot! But then you get some weddings where the details are endless and absolutely lovely....... this brings me to this wedding...
Leona & Andrew..... pulled out all the stops.... from custom signs for a games area, smores, star gazing etc etc..... to the red and white straws that accented the glasses of lemonade..... to the strung images of memories.... the mason jars with hydrangeas ..... custom red heart cufflings..... embroidered initials in the grooms jacket.... and the chalk board menus .... there was not a thing that was not thought of!  You both had a beautiful and amazing wedding.... become a planner please Leona!!!
So let's talk about the rest of the wedding.......
I met with Leona at her sisters home..... grabbed some prep shots and chatted with the groom as we walked up the hill to prepare for the "first look".... I SOOOOO wish more couples did this... it's such a beautiful moment just for the two of them! I never interrupt just capture the moment..... and the emotions felt always get me every time..... here comes that pesky sappy lump in my throat!!
After the first look we headed out for pictures.... we went to places they had already scoped out and planned for... Awesome!! I love couples that know what they want and trust me to make it work!!!! Plus it was totally fun ..... gotta love some chickens too.... no the real kind for real!
A gorgeous ceremony and reception followed.... with cocktails... games and a ton of fun...... great food to boot!!!
In the end it was a fabulous wedding with a truly amazing and definitely in love couple.......... wishing you both all the best for years to come! Congratulations Leona & Andrew!!!!
Thank you for having me a part of your day!
