6. And above all...Have Fun!

Just like their engagement/family session.
Everyone's favorite family photos are candid moments, when everyone feels comfortable just being who they are.

When the beautiful bride is someone whom you've watched grow up almost her whole life, it makes the day extra special. Her reaction to the surprise first look was the BEST!
We love it when the groom wants to do something a little different.

Knowing Dan’s dad was too ill to come and participate; family and friends made sure he could, via face time. Then, fter the ceremony we all went to shower Dan’s dad with love, laughter and photo ops. Such an amazing day.
Thank you Dan & Sarah for allowing us to document such a private and beautiful day.

Capturing a family being themselves, having a great time; never worried if they're looking their best or showing their teeth; just having fun. The phrase of the day: "flow posing".
There is nothing better than capturing the true personalities

The fun never stopped, starting

We have known Sara, Kent, Mia, & Harry for well over 6 years. Our life journeys keep intersecting. No matter what independent path we think we are choosing,
the universe makes sure our lives intersect. I am glad we are.

either way, my guess, it's going to be epic.

"I just wanted to thank you and Becca again for making yesterday so easy. Going into it, I was so worried I was going to ruin the whole shoot because I was still so frazzled from such a crazy week/day and I couldn't get my head in the right place, but you both made everything so easy! You are both very gifted at what you do and I am so excited to have you photographing the day we begin our new life together:)"
Thus, it's only fitting to share their entire session just to see how well they did. Such a lovely couple.
]]>
We couldn't have asked for a better day, couple, or location.
Perfection all around.
What a perfect fall day for a family farm wedding.
A true testament of how two families pull together to create and build EVERY detail needed for a beautiful fall country wedding.

But we have to admit we were a bit disappointed when Frasier didn't get to attend the wedding.
This is our little way to include Frasier.
]]>
Rustic elegance to say the least.
And you would NEVER know there were 300 people milling about while we were shooting their beautiful details. :-)
A couple who knows who they are as individuals and as a couple; you can see it in the way they look at each other. They really love, respect and enjoy each other's personality and strive to bring out the best in each other and all around them.
It was a great day!
Last year we had the distinct pleasure of photographing Ronnie & Chris’s wedding. What a lovely and fun time it was. And this year on the same weekend, we had the pleasure of hanging with them again. You could not meet a nicer couple.
Ronnie & Chris are another FABULOUS addition to the Blind Photography family.
They trusted us to do our job and that we did.
Enjoy.
Dusty, Tessa, friends and family took it all in stride
making it beautiful and memorable.
The theme for this shoot was "Climb"

Congratulations Wendy & Emmy
The gardens were lovely; the perfect venue for their ceremony.
This time we were spotted!
We had so much fun with Grant & Piper.
Thank you mom and dad for allowing them to show us who they are.
I think we captured Roco's family's personality nicely.
Chase and Megan choose the perfect location. Thus, their first look was intimate, sweet and picturesque.
There's just nothing else to say (with a smile on my face).
Enjoy!
Such a lovely time shooting at the Oredson's home.
1st time the party bus was bigger than my house and lost it's breaks and the 1st time the bridal party utilized YouTube to bustle the wedding dress.
A great time!
Thank you Heather & Jeremy for allowing us to be a part of your day
I do believe she is going to be a stunning bride as well.
I do love the makeup and hair before and after shots. Nice job Michelle!

Heather & Chris's engagement session.
We shot down town in the sculpture garden and at the Meredith Building.
I do believe their wedding will be a sweet and lovely as they are.
Had a BLAST shooting Alex & Paden's engagement session.
We shot down in Valley Junction during a very busy car event and they didn't hesitate one bit. They rocked it!
- First time the bridal party "YouTubed" how to bustle a wedding dress
- First time the party bus was larger than my house
- First time the party bus lost it's brakes
