Krista & Ben- April 24 2010

Sadly, this will be my last post from our first wedding. There are so many wonderful photos to choose from, but alas, I have to move on, as we have 3 portrait settings coming in the next week!

My husband caught this while I was working on family portraits:

My husband saw this & I got the privilege of capturing it:

For this one I told Krista she was just going to have to trust me with her bouquet! Glad she did:

And on to the reception:

What great expressions during their first dance as husband & wife! These two are gonna have a fun marriage:

Yeah, so, I couldn't resist... Krista took her shoes off for the dancing, and I saw a neat opportunity:

This is a cute shot of Krista dancing with her brother:

We were asked to follow the couple to a local assisted living facility, where the bride's grandmother was. Since she couldn't come to the wedding, we brought the wedding to her:

And they're off:

Thanks for everything, Krista & Ben. We truly hope & pray your marriage is blessed always. Keep that laughter in your hearts! ~Naomi

The Carters- May 2010

What a perfect set to post on Mothers Day! I'm dedicating this to all mothers, mothers to be, and even those who simply wish they could be. I work with Jenna & was so excited when she asked us to do this! It was really great getting to know her & her husband. The trust they gave us was so rewarding! Enjoy:

I think this one in particular shows just how radiantly beautiful Jenna is:

This is another favorite of mine. Look at her glow!

Jenna has suggested this shot for her & Kyle, to show the dramatic change in her body. What a great suggestion it was!

 Thanks for the trust! We can't wait to meet your new little one! ~Naomi

Krista & Ben- April 24 2010

This is my 2nd post for the wedding. There were just too many photos to include in one post. (I honestly could easily do 24 posts about the wedding, but I don't want to bore my audience too much!)

I love the "rat pack" look to this one of the groom coming down the aisle, followed by his best man.

I actually giggled out loud when I saw this one during editing! Such a wonderful, expectant look on Krista's face!

I love the little chapel, in fact I once thought of getting married there myself. It was great to finally get in there & see how charming it can be:

Sam caught this one! Love it!

Since this wasn't just the joining of two people, but also a family, they did a very touching ceremony where they poured colored sand into a glass bottle to represent them coming together to form one unit:

Another Sam capture- the first kiss:

Using the chapel as a background we did a couple group shots:

Which added another wonderful candid to Sam's list:

So Krista was STUNNING and that made my job so much more simple, as you can see:

I wanted to be sure to include the little chapel in at least one location shot:

This is one of my favorites from the whole day... I just love the extra color the umbrella added, and how cute they look with their arms linked up:
