Katelyn + Cassidy - June Wedding at Paradise Ridge Winery - Part One

Saturday, July 23rd, 2011

{katelyn + cassidy = love!}

This will be a two part wedding blog, mostly because there are so many images that I want to share with you, and you, and you! :)  First of all, Katelyn should be a wedding coordinator - she had all her details down to the capital T, including bringing her own bedding accessories for her hotel room, that of course matched the bridesmaids dresses. Seem over the top? Well no, it was her sweet details that brought everything together for their wedding.

We’ll start with her “love” wire wedding dress hanger.. <3

The men …

More to come!  Until then …

Paradise Ridge Winery - June Wedding Photography

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

The wedding of Tracy and Jason has been a long time in making. We first met December of 2009, where I met the couple, Tracy’s mom Debbie. They hired me on the spot and we photographed T+J’s engagement that same day. It was so much fun and everyone was so excited to work with each other, that I couldn’t believe I had to wait another year and a half to photograph their wedding. But you know what? Good things are worth the wait!
