Words can’t even describe how beautiful this wedding was. Not only was every detail carefully planned out, it was also the most entertaining and emotional wedding. Angie and Trevor have been together for quite some time. They’ve seen the ups and downs of life, moved around quite a bit, and their relationship has survived the storm. I could definately feel the love between these two.

Angie is the younger sister of my very good friend, BriAnne. I’ve known Angie since we were all little kids. She has grown to be an amazingly beautiful woman with a solid head on her shoulders. I was overjoyed when she asked me to photograph her big day. I got to meet the groom a few years ago when BriAnne got married. To make things interesting, BriAnne’s husband is the brother to the groom. So when Angie and Trevor married, it was a set of brothers marrying a set of sisters. How cool is that?!!!  When it came to the family portraits, we laughed pretty hard since both sides included a lot of the same people.

The ceremony and reception were held at the Bride’s parents house. Flowers by Geranium Lake Flowers.

Special thanks to my Second (and third) photographers, Leya and Jason. You guys did an amazing job!!

To save all of you from my bad grammar and typos, I will just get to the point!

Enjoy a few highlights from the Coates/Skreen wedding….

oh how I love beautiful details…

funny how guys get ready versus how girls get ready!

okay seriously, these folks are just gorgeous!

my fav.

this just makes me laugh hysterically

favorite group shot to date!

Angie wanted something unique for her family photos. I think this is THE coolest photo of the bride/groom and their parents I’ve ever seen. Normally it’s just the ‘stand in line, take a shot’ sort of deal.

Coolness.

LOVE these

helllooooo beautiful couple

Mr. and Mrs. Coates’ first portrait as a married couple.

how cool are their reception details??!!!

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Coates. I was so blessed to be a part of your day.

Thank you a million times over for choosing me to be your photographer!

It’s not very often that one of my husbands brothers gets married. In fact, this has only happened twice. First when Derrick’s brother Bryce married Jessica (my SIL who shot this wedding with me), and now his youngest brother, Craig, SOMEHOW convinced and amazing woman to marry him. Nicole is one of the absolute sweetest people I know. She’s a cake decorator extraordinaire at Market Place Bakery (and yes, she actually made her own cake. She’s an amazing woman).

So now in my husbands family there are two photographers and a cake decorator. Too bad there are no more siblings, otherwise we’d be interviewing for a florist and a person who owns a venue. 😛

Congrats you two and don’t worry I won’t bother you too much about getting nieces and nephews. I figure you should be married at least a month before starting on those. 😉

LOVE details

what good looking people!!

Okay I showed this before but I love it so much, I HAD to show it again.

yup, good niece and nephew material here 😉

Okay so we flagged down this car and begged to get photos with it. Craig and his best man Kenny actually know the guy who owns it. Pretty sweet ride!

favorite part of the ceremony. They asked both sets of parents to pray over their marriage. I started crying at this moment. I kept my cool till then. Sigh.

Love this.

whoop whoop!

yeah, TOTALLY in love with the ring shot on lemon drops. Hmmm… dunno why…

And yes that amazing cake was made by the bride herself.

love

I love you two!!!!

I find it very difficult to show quick previews of wedding images. How does one summarize an entire day into a few photos? There are so many aspects of weddings.

So many details. So many stories, laughter, and tears.

Trevor and Angie’s wedding was perfect. I was truly blessed to be a part of their big day.

I hope you enjoy! More to come later!

When Ashley first booked me for her September wedding, little Ellie was just a tiny little baby. Now as the date comes closer to their big day, she’s grown so much and the love between their family has grown as well. Little Ellie has such spunk and she reminds me so much of my own little guy. Making funny faces and laughing. She is a pure delight!

They are getting married September 19th, 2009 at the Lewis River Golf course. From what Ashley tells me about her plans, it’s going to be an absolutely beautiful event. I can’t wait!!!!

Thanks for trusting me to do your photos. You were such fun to work with. I hope you love these images as much as I do!

The one on the right is my FAVORITE!!! I should post it bigger so you can see them laughing at each other. Beautimus!!!

how incredibly beautiful are they?!!!!

Perfect family.

Elena has become a great friend of mine over the past few months. She’s been 2nd shooting some weddings with me and her talent always amazes me. You can see her site here. She’s not only talented, she’s absolutely beautiful and her husband is quite the looker. Together they make an absolutely breath-taking couple.

This year marks their sixth anniversary. It’s not a landmark year by any means, but I live by the rule that if you wait for that special time to get photos done it may never happen. Sometimes the most magical moments happen when it’s not a special day. I’m often doing photos of couples a day after, a week after, or even years after they’ve been married. I love to capture the true beauty of love. The love that sometimes takes years to form. The years together through the good times and bad. (Okay I gotta stop now or I’ll start crying all over again.)

Elena and Demetrye are extraordinary in their love together. The way he looks at her, the way she relaxes when he’s nearby, the smiles, the silence that speaks volumes.

*snif*

If these images even show a glimpse of what their love is, then I will be satisfied.

my favorite.

no really, they’re not models. They are REAL people (could have fooled you with those amazing looks!!)

Elena and Demeytre, I’m so honored you asked me to do your photos. I had the best time!!!
