jenn + josh ~ the wedding

On June 10th I had the honor of photographing Jenn and Josh's wedding in Sioux Falls, SD.  I also had the honor of being a bridesmaid!  In order to pull it off I called up my charming and talented photography partner, Lindsie, from the shutterpoet days of yore and asked her to help me out.  Mucho gracias to her for everything!  The following photos are a little sneak preview as I complete the rest of the post-processing.  I may have gone a little overboard the number of photos posted, but since I am particularly close to these folks, I couldn't help myself!
ahhhh.  I always love some good dress drama.
The bride prepares herself.  I can't quite decide why, but these are always some of my favorite photos.
veil detail--so delicate and pretty.
wowza.
adorable.
the groom sees the bride for the first time.  can you say smitten?
*sigh*
then we skidaddled off to give them a moment alone.
and we're off for creative portraits!
Dear Jenn,
You are holy wow gorgeous!
love, me.
And Dear Jenn,
Josh isn't so bad either...I guess.
love, me
:)

soooo, I never ever insert a "behind-the-scenes" photo like this one that Lindsie took, but I just couldn't help myself.  They are posing so nicely as I fiddle with my camera settings!  Plus, I just thought it was kinda funny with me in a bridesmaid dress (something I don't wear to weddings I photograph...typically....because that would be weird right?)  haha.  PLUS, I want you to see what we can do with what seems to be the average, everyday, boring old chain link fence......
skadoosh.  love love love.  We can take beautiful photographs anywhere!  My personal favorite :)
the whoooole wedding party!
merry maids
and dapper men :)
the flower girl and ring bearer....think they are siblings?  :) it's the eyes.
They were quite serious.
some of the time :)
the ceremony
bubble love :)
en route to the reception in a super flashy, super fun limo!
reception at CJ Callaway's in Sioux Falls--lovely place
gaaaar.....stowaways under the table!
 I just so happen to think the fact that she is holding her little fork up is too darn cute.
This was, hands down, some of the most delicious wedding cake I have ever eaten (and I have eaten a lot of wedding cake).  
Caramel and coconut--I still dream about it.
Speaking of dreams and dreaminess-the couple's first dance :)
 AND then you know what time it is....
ceeeeelebrate good times--c'mon!
Jenn and Josh, it was an honor to both be in and photograph your wedding.  
I love you two crazy kiddos :)
