Wedding Sneak Peek: Jen and Andrew
Ten things (of many!) that I loved about the wedding I shot this weekend…
1. The wonderful couple, Jen and Andrew! I’ve known Jen since college when we were in an inline skating club together and she asked me to be her photographer almost as soon as SHE proposed to Andrew in Hawaii!
2. The bridal party! There were bridesmaids, groomsmen, bridesguys, and groomsgals!! And how can you not love it when you ask them to go behind a tree and they start climbing it!
3. The shoes. Red and black Chucks for the ENTIRE wedding party? I would say comfort over style, but these were mighty stylish!
4. The ceremony. It was short and sweet but packed to the brim with personal sentiments.
5. The officiant, who was a good friend of theirs who got ordained just so he could marry them.
6. The cake from the Cake Lady, Diana McPheeters. It was delicious, moist, and beautiful (sans fondant)!
7. The dancing! Jen and Andrew love to swing dance and have so many friends who do too, so it was a wild night on the dance floor!
8. Pumpkin carving! So I don’t think this was at all planned. But using butter knives or Swiss Army Knives, or whatever they had on hand, many of the guests started carving the pumpkin centerpieces!
9. Carmel apple favors from Cunningham’s Candies, with the most gooey carmel coating ever. I may have taken two home with me. But some just couldn’t wait that long!
10. Did I mention how awesome Jen and Andrew are?

This was a hard one to shoot!
Sometimes you’re taking portraits and the groom requests a photo of the bridal party on the moon being attacked by a dinosaur. Sometimes, as the photographer, you just have to comply…
