Ruth & Jason \\ Wedding
Ruth arrived at the church that morning with rag curls in her hair and a beaming smile on her face. It was her wedding day! It was also a day that I had been looking forward to for months. When my friend, Mackenzie, called me in the spring and asked me to shoot this wedding with her, I was thrilled! The emails and phone calls to organize our part of the day went back and forth all summer as the anticipation mounted. When October 27th came and we had our shiny rented lenses and new flashes all packed in our bulky camera bags we were ready to get to work together and have some fun and we certainly did just that!
Ruth doing her sister's makeup...
Just gorgeous!!
I love all the different shoes!
They had a really sweet first look -- I can't wait to see Mackenzie's shots from the other angle!
There were 22 people in the wedding party. Fun, tons of fun. Except maybe for the photographers! haha! Making sure that everybody's eyes were open was quite the challenge. We did a lot of "Close your eyes and open them on 3!"
Did I mention that it was cold? Like really, really freezing cold. We took these shots at the top of a hill and the wind was just horrendous. But they were all great sports! This is a shot of what the girls were doing while Mackenzie got some more groomsmen portraits.
These next few shots are my favorites -- I'm so glad we were able to get them before we all froze!
The final few minutes before the ceremony...
This is it!
Ruthie hardly stopped smiling throughout the ceremony -- it was so sweet!
MARRIED!
I couldn't help but throw in this shot of my Mackenzie-friend, fellow wedding photographer, and partner in... not crime!
Their newlywed game was so funny. I took waaay too many pictures, but I was having too much fun to stop!
First dance...
Everybody at the wedding enjoyed the father/daughter and mother/son dances -- a little out of the ordinary!
The dance floor was packed as soon as it was open to everybody.
The garter throw was not *quite* as exciting as the bouquet toss. hehe
It was such a fun celebration!
