Mums Flowers {Bouquets} Kalispell, Mt

These GORGEOUS bouquets were made by Mum's Flower's in Whitefish for the Northwest Montana Wedding and Event Expo held at the Kalispell Fairgrounds.  That's my insanely beautiful cousin Meghan holding them  and the insanely talented Jeff Fulford as her groom ;) It was so nice taking pictures of pretty things, almost feels like Spring time on the blog!

I can't wait to see what Cara will create for weddings this Summer, and for mine and Jeremiah's wedding someday!!

 

Elizabeth and Andrew {Wedding} on Film

We posted a few days ago the digital files from Elizabeth and Andrews Las Vegas wedding, you can see that here. Had to wait a week to post these because I sent the film to Richard Photo Lab in Hollywood, they are amazing. This was all shot on Portra 400, rated at 1600 and pushed 2 stops. I'm still getting the hang of film, and these were less than ideal lighting conditions, but between the awesomeness of film, and the amazing people at Richards, we got some beautiful images. Elizabeth and Andrew were awesome, and we were so lucky to meet them in Vegas. This seriously made my trip worth it, and reminded me that the small friendships and groups are where the magic really happens at WPPI.

So blessed to be apart of these two peoples lives, and so glad I was able to practice my new found love of film :)

Elizabeth and Andrew + Las Vegas, Nevada Wedding Photographers

So this is a weird post, because Rachel and I had no intention of shooting a wedding in Vegas. We were there for a WPPI, and Showit United, a photographers tradeshow and conference. A few days in, a couple of photographers we had never met, announced on Facebook that they had decided to get married early, in Vegas, at the "Pop Up Wedding Chapel". They invited whomever wanted to come, so we naturally had to attend, because we don't go to enough weddings;) Joking aside, we thought it was awesome, and I honestly never get tired of seeing people in love make the insane crazy jump that is marriage.

We all sent them off in true wedding style, complete with bubbles. We were blessed, not only to witness this, but also to make new friends. God has a plan, and sometimes it seems that he shouts it from the strangest places, even Vegas.

I'd like to thank our whole little wedding party, Sarah Bardo, Donnell ProbstJennifer Bischof, and Samantha and Reid of Orange Photography. It was a blast! and I can't wait to see you all again next year at Showit United:)

P.S. Still waiting on the film to come back from the lab, so I'll post those later:)

Tadd & Cassie {wedding} :: Loomis, California

Oh Tadd and Cassie..."I LOVE YA!" It's been a long time coming, and I feel so blessed you chose us to photograph your California wedding! We couldn't ask for a better couple!!! I met Tadd and Cassie at church while I lived in California. Right away I liked them both and as I type this up I keep remembering the fun times we had at Mel's Diner in the middle of the night!! Your day was beyond special and I'm giddy to show you the pictures...I know you're anxious, hehe!The wedding was held at The Blue Goose Fruit Shed in Loomis California. Even with the down pour that day Cassie kept her cool and was beaming all day long. Her caring and loving side never left as she wandered from room to room making sure everyone was taken care of. Even when I was drenched from shooting in the rain she was worried about my hair...as she's about to walk down the aisle! And then there's Tadd. Oh Tadd. I wish every groom was as cool as Tadd. If you could morph Jim Carrey and....a quiet Jim Carrey you would have Tadd. They by far had my most favorite First Look I've ever photographed. They're so sweet and hilarious and we a BLAST with them and their bridal party! xoxo -Rachel
