Christian and Michelle's Wedding Day


Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
I had so much fun sharing Christian and Michelle's wedding day. I have had the privilege to get to know Michelle a little more personal then I do most bride’s as she has been one of my daughters roommates at collage. When my daughter saw one of the pictures Michelle had displayed in her room, a picture from her brothers wedding. She recognized it as one that I had taken. Unbeknownst to them when they became roommates I had meet Michelle's family several years before when I had the privilege of capturing her Brother's wedding day memories. I had the opportunity to get to know Michelle better through my daughter and some wonderful roommate pictures that we took of all six of the roommates. I got to know Christian and see his tenderness towards Michelle when we spent the morning taking some fun engagement photos. (See posting from April)

What a compliment it is when a family is happy with your work and hires you for a 2nd time. Inviting you back to captures their special memories and share in their next child’s special day. I loved seeing the Chavez family (missing of course the son who is on a mission serving the Lord) and seeing how the family has grown (two adorable granddaughters…one brand new) and remembering all the fun that family is. Also it was great getting to know the Wagner family. What an amazing family Christian has. They came from far away to support him and were all so easy to work with. A special thank you to his wonderful Mom, Lorilee. My daughter loved Christian and Michelle’s sign in book and how they had used their engagement photos so much. Lorilee, even while busy getting ready for his open house helped us get a sign in book ordered. Thank you. Talk about a joining of two wonderful families.

Here are just a few more from their day. If you know Christian and Michelle you can view all their photos at www.printroom.com/pro/crphotos

The Main Event



OK, so the title is a little corny. I have had the privilege of capturing several events for the Main Family. The most recent being Katie’s wedding (see previous post). Their other daughter now lives in England with her family and had flown over for her sister wedding and was returning at the end of the week with no real date on when she might be back to the states to visit her family. They really wanted to have some nice family portraits done before she left. So just three days after her wedding before she left on her honeymoon Katie and Luke were good sports and let us get together for some family portraits.

Cinderella’s Wedding

 


Katie and Luke were ready to get married. They were high school sweethearts who's hearts have always been connected. Katie had dreamed about the perfect wedding and the day that she got to be the princess and start their lives as husband and wife. She truly looked like Cinderella in her amazing dress. With her hair done perfect and all the extra touches she was beautiful.


Luke and Katie choose to get married at a very special church. Not only is it the church that she still attends her Grandmother got married there many a moon ago and her Granddaughter wanted to follow in her footsteps.



Even her cake looked like a royal coach, white horses and all. She thought of every touch to really make it her magical day.
