Just a little teaser…

Chad and Toni’s Wedding Day…Coming soon!!

This wedding was an especially  fun one!  Dave and Patty were so fun and so laid back, and everything seemed to run very smoothly (they definitely know how to throw a party!)  They were also unique in that they found each other much later in life.  Having never been married, Patty wondered if she’d ever find the “one” for her, as did the rest of her family.  But, God was still lining things up!  She met Dave, a Canadian Mounty, at a golfing retreat in Arizona.  Who new that would be the begining of the rest of their lives together…Oh and they had the entire wedding in her sister’s backyard, which was landscaped so incredibly well!

And they danced the night away!

So, In the last 2 1/2 weeks, Missy and I have shot 5 weddings!  We don’t have anymore for the rest of the month, thank goodness, but here are Brad & Jessica to kick off the many gorgeous couples you will be seeing over the next couple weeks!  Enjoy!

After their dance and other festivities, we stole them away for some sunset pictures…YUM!

Well, here are the highlights and some of my favorite detail shots from Zach & Jenny’s wedding! 

I have so much to share with you after this last week and a half, so I am just trying to get through it all AND move (yes, move, as in packing up and finding a place to live and not having one and wondering what’s going to happen!) all at the same time…Life’s crazy, how about yours???

At this wedding, I got to hang out with the guys only, which was fun for a change…

This shot was actually at the University of Portland, where they had their ceremony…so I guess I should say: The Nines + Crystal Ballroom + Portland Sate University = Pretty Details

The only flowers they used for decoration were the girl’s boquets…they didn’t want to do anything that would take away from the Ballroom’s many details. So, I played with the flowers a little in each shot…

…And I LOVED what I got!

A little romance on the balcony!

Just something about this one…LOVE it.

Well, here is a little teaser from Zack & Jenny’s wedding last week.  They are super sweet with each other and have been together for a long time!  I particularly liked this little “first glance” sequence…more later!!!
