becca's bridals.

you should probably know
that the stars were aligned
when i found where i wanted
to take sweet little becca
for her bridals.

i was driving around scoping out
possibilities; all the while,
talking with my best friend on the phone.
when, in mid sentence, i stopped--
and whispered "i found it".

wow, was that dramatic?...yeah, i can get like that.
needless to say, i was pretty jazz hands
about these pictures!

thanks, becca for letting me DRAG you around
in the snow and cold and...
an extra special thanks for being cool
about trespassing during parts of our adventure...oopsies.
(you gotta do what you gotta do).

oh, and thanks to the keelers for letting me
borrow your sweet chair at the last minute :)

behold:

laura jane.

l.j. was a good sport.
i made her stand outside
in the windy cold
to take some pictures
of her looking fancy...
that's what you get for
being so cute and
dressing so cute :)

the pehrson family.

i watched weather.com
like a hawk up until the
minute i left to meet
the pehrsons...and it didn't change.
it still showed that it would
rain and most definitely snow.

a miracle happened that day, people.
maybe mother nature saw how fiercely
good looking and dressed up they'd gotten
and decided to give them a break,
or maybe it's because i'm a prayin' girl;
either way, no snow. not even any rain.

yes, there was pesky wind,
and it was pretty cold too;
but we happily took that, instead.
and it was a pleasure.













but wait...
you're probably wondering
where the pictures of that cute girl,
laura jane, in the fantastic
green skirt are...
and to that i say:
she gets a post all to herself,
that i'm saving
for another day.
(we went off and
had a fun little fashion shoot and
it was all sorts of fun!)
so get ready for some serious eye candy!

the big day.

i could definitely ramble on
even more than i already have,
about this wonderful couple;
but i'll just say this:

it was beautiful...
see for yourself.

the celebration.

nicole and mr. k
had a fancy schmancy
two day celebration
up at the beautiful
sundance resort.

it was my first time
ever being up there
(i know, silly me)
and it was fantastic.

they started out with
a celebration the night
before the big day
and there was

dancing* (i love, LOVE when people actually dance)
singing
delicious food
crackling fires
twinkling lights
christmas trees
family
friends
a gracious, happy couple
and lots and lots of love.

*sometimes when there are
people dancing and enjoying themselves
all around me i just can't help
but dance with them...
i'm pretty sure i made a fool of myself...oopsies!

you'd do the same if the band started
singing "sweet caroline"...a little bit of neil never hurt anyone.
