In-Depth samples from Oct 19 Wedding

This is my first start-to-finish assortment of wedding photos processed specifically for my blog/portfolio. In the future, I may add more, but first I have to see how well this one is accepted.



The couple didn't really want any photos of them getting ready (not everyone does), but I captured just about everything else. This was one of my favorite weddings thus far. The bride picked out the colors for many of the details, including the bridesmaids' dresses, boutonnieres, bouquet, and overall theme. Every time I would tell the groom how nice this or that was, he'd say "it was her idea..."



Starting with the singer for the ceremony...





Along with a few details just before the ceremony begins








The groom waiting for everything to begin





The ring bearer and flower girl, not knowing what to do when they're supposed to walk the aisle - the boy finally understood, but no amount of coaxing was enough for the girl. She had to be carried.





The bride with her father





Bridesmaids in autumn colors





The bride, during the ceremony





Holding hands, and the kiss








A quiet walk down the aisle, and out to drive a little deeper into red rock for formal shots








Some shots among the desert scape before the reception














Time to go inside and begin the reception. First, a few details, guest book and the cake








First dance




Then, others join in





Time to cut the cake







The bouquet toss




And the grand exit with people surrounding:





They weren't allowed to throw rice at this particular spot because there was a major pest issue with birds, and so the scene had to be recreated behind the building.
