Here is just a little sneak peek of our day on Saturday. I saw this first image on my lcd screen and knew that I had fallen in love, I'm thinking a new canvas. Sara and Joe are just the cutest couple, I really just wanted to hug them both and squeeze their cheeks, don't ask me why, I just want to.
And as for the second shot, well, what's a wedding without a little dress up?
Finally, I am making time to blog this super awesome wedding from (please don't be mad!) last September, (I know, I know, it was almost four months ago!). All right, enough about my lack of blogging, onto Dan and Alejandra's gorgeous affair.
What a blast. Dan and Alejandra's wedding went so fast, we got to the church and this was the first time ever, that the girls were ready before the guys. The church was huge, fabulous and full of beautiful stained glass. Ale looked like a model in her dress and Prada shoes, she is tall enough to be a super model for sure. Dan looked handsome in his tux, even if he felt that the sleeves weren't quite long enough.
Ale's sister, Nina sang while Alba played the piano during the ceremony, isn't that awesome?! If only Rob wasn't tone deaf, right?
Well, since the church was in downtown Madison, we stopped by the capital for some fun group shots, waiting for another couple and their horse drawn carriage to move on, I tell ya, it was the day of weddings! There must have been half a dozen couples with the same idea! After those shots, we left downtown for the reception at Olbrich Botanical Gardens. The light was perfectly luscious, we did some more quick group shots in the gardens and then went in for dinner, cake and dancing.
They had guests come all the way from Bolivia, which is where Ale's dad is from, so I got to work on my super rusty Spanish from HS, it's sad that I took four years and don't remember much.
Anyways, we finished off the night with a bubble filled sendoff for the bride and groom! I hope the two of you enjoyed your honeymoon!!
Alejandra, isn't she just gorgeous?!
The girls getting ready.
Dan has such a strong profile!
I loved the bridal party, everyone had so much fun being bored while Dan and Alejandra kissed, and kissed, and kissed...
Why do I always forget my pitchfork at home?
Ok, you've got me, I'm super super late on posting Dan and Ale's engagement shoot! I should be posting their amazing wedding from last month, but life has been so crazy hectic that I am so far behind. What's amazing is that both Dan and Alejandra are over 6 feet tall, yeah really. Now, I don't usually feel short, but today I did. I'm used to Rob being taller than me, but I'm fairly tall for a girl. The best part is that Dan and Alejandra were, basically, set up because they were both so tall, isn't that funny, and they totally hit it off together.
They are so easy going, just wait for the wedding post and you'll see how Alejandra rocked the high heels in her beautiful lace covered gown!
Take a look at this gorgeous couple, we just shot around Ale's parents house in Madison, and had a blast:
Skylar is a friend of Caitlin's, you may remember her senior session out at Devil's Lake. Skylar was a blast to work with, outgoing and willing to do all the crazy things we asked. She had even brought along her yellow prom dress, I know - yellow. I find that yellow is a hard colour to wear, I look horribly sick in yellow, but Skylar totally pulled it off. She was gorgeous!
We met at her grandmother's house and then headed to Olbrich Botanical Gardens, which was amazing. It was the first time that Rob and I had been there. It's huge and each path we took led us to great backdrops and amazing colors, there was even a temple! Seriously, how cool is that? It was really hard to choose my fav's, sorry that there's a ton of images to look at!
This is one of my fav's, I just loved the tree:
And then, is she not gorgeous in the next two? The light is amazing here:
She's like a princess awaiting her prince:
Well, it's taken me since Amanda and Aaron's wedding, which was on May 9, until now to pick a few of my favourites for the blog post. Now that I figured that out, let me tell you about this awesome wedding:
Rob and I were a little worried when we woke up to cloudy grey skies and sprinkling rain, but the rain stopped and the sun slowly filtered through the clouds for Amanda and Aaron's rooftop ceremony at the amazing Quarry Arts Building in Madison. Seriously, the venue was amazing! Everything was laid out so perfectly, and turret towers - it was the coolest place for a wedding. Amanda looked gorgeous, her champagne colored dress was perfect, the ladies were all wearing the same shade of Christian Dior lipstick, and would you believe that they all rocked it completely different, you could not tell it was the same shade on all those beautiful women!
Mary, the officiant, did a wonderful job, allowing everyone at the ceremony to help fill Amanda and Aaron's grace account full of love. Although the wind picked up during the ceremony and Amanda's veil had a life of its own, it didn't distract from the moving vows that Amanda and Aaron wrote for each other. I don't think that there was a dry eye on the entire balcony after listening to what they wrote for each other, I know that my own were tearing up with the moving words that they spoke to one another. The ceremony concluded with a champagne toast on the rooftop.
Catering was done by Blue Plate Catering, and the food was amazing! It was so good that we were talking about it days later. I know that Rob and our assistant Amanda could not get enough, unfortunately my eating for two means that there is less room than before and baby takes up a lot, so stuffing myself was not an option.
What a night, though. There was dancing and partying, it was such a lively group, and everyone was full of love and laughter. I know that Rob got a lot of envious looks regarding his fedora, which later made the rounds.
This was the first wedding featuring our new engagement Guest book and we got so many compliments, of course I told everyone that it was Amanda and Aaron that totally rocked the book, it was full of shots of them! Love it! Plus, the people liked my new chucks, I may just wear those babies to every wedding because they are so darn comfy!
So, enough about me, take a look at these gorgeous shots:
Seriously sweet venue:
Amanda kept checking out the crowd before her cue to head out.
Isn't her ring gorgeous?
I don't know why, but I love this shot. There's just something about it that makes me feel all tingly inside.
Amanda and her dad during the father-daughter dance, it totally made me tear up!
And then Aaron and his mom totally rocked their own dance.
