Wedding: Michael & Jennifer

It was a warm September day, the rain clouds had already checked out for the weekend, and the mountains were drenched in glorious sunshine; the perfect day for a wedding.

"Outdoorsy" was the one adjective that stood out on paper when I met with Jennifer for the first time a month or so before her wedding. She used it to describe what kind of couple she and Michael were, and without fail it was one of the best words to sum up their beautiful wedding day.

Three hours away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Jennifer and Michael and a handful of their closest friends and family escaped for the weekend to join them for their beautiful mountain top wedding.

Jennifer was such a beautiful and calm bride, mind you she pretty much planned out the whole wedding herself ... a task I know is not for the faint of heart, but she did a wonderful job.

Can we say ... gorgeous?? Hehe.
And her groom, Michael, was a stud/goofball all day long.

Now for the details.

I knew the day would be filled will warm reds and oranges, what I didn't expect was the gorgeous royal blue they'd use to accent everything. AH-MAZING!

Just moments before the ceremony, I took my place at the front of the aisle and my assistant took hers. My assistant rocks for getting this shot, and for being where I couldn't be at that moment. *Mind you this was the first time she's ever picked up a camera but she was super sweet, and super teachable and wanted to be my assistant none the less. Erica Paige you rock my socks off girl. I love you!!!

As the air filled with music from a single violin, the wind picked up as if cued to, and down the aisle she came.

He saw her, and she saw him and it was beautiful.

If you could have been there you would have heard the hills echo even for a whisper.
You would have felt the crisp breeze come and go,

and the sun beaming on your back.

And you too would have been dancing along side little miss Albury in merriment on such an blissful day.

All the while her dad was making silly faces. And I loved it.

It was one beautiful ceremony and I hope and pray that Michael and Jennifer's marriage is as long, passionate and beautiful as their first kiss was.
Daddy's girls.
There was tons of bromance and girly giggles to go around.

Talk about outdoorsy ... unlike myself, my brides are fearless even in a wedding gown.

As endearing as they can be, they can be crazy silly too.
Their reception was simple and lovely.

And their cake delicious!

I've got to tell you more about their reception later, there was an Ica Images and Rini & Faith mash up ... and it was awesome!

Dearest Jennifer and Michael thanks for letting me {And Erica} be part of your beautiful day.
