A Wedding Story: Idaho pt.1

I present to you a single rose

Ah how sweet I am.

There’s a story about this little guy… see he was in the trash heap. There were a billion (only a slight exageration) flowers at this reception, it was flower city, the flowers were all amazing.

This little flower didn’t make the cut… but I liked it grabbed it and carried it for a bit… not even sure why.

Then I started taking detail shots. I said to myself why not put this on the table and shoot it like a close up ring or something layong on the nice table cloth.

Bam! now it’s one of my favorites, but this might only be because I knew the story and I’m emotionally compromised and it might just be OK.

OK back to the task at hand… remember how I said I photographed a wedding in Idaho. Well I’m not even gonna talk about the reception much yet, maybe tomorrow.

Except to show you how it ended.

It ended with a Flash and a Whirl… get it?

Now you’ll be back tomorrow… it’s like crack, you must know, you have to know… you have no choice. You are getting sleepy, very sleepy.

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you Bobbie Jane and David

Come on out

You might remember them from such oldies as Couple in front of Golden gate amd couple on boardwalk

Or couple next to plane

Or couple at random picnic

Wait wait let’s back up… so we’re at the Idaho Falls LDS temple. David and Bobbie Jane get married inside and we’re all just chillin outside waiting for them to come out. I walk around and try to find the group, you can’t really miss her sisters… because they look so much like her.

It’s a good oportunity for me to shoot some kids.

And some candids of friends I don’t know yet (which I will know by the end of the day)

But here they come! About to open the door and make the grand exit to be seen by friends and family.

Anti climatic, I know… since you already saw the exit.

But this is them putting on a small show for their friends and relatives with cameras. Which is fine by me because while they get a few shots, I get pictures of them the whole day.

Let’s hydrate that bride on a nice hot day… water anyone.

Forget that! Water is so ordinary. (I wanted to say Blah-Zay but I can’t figure out how to spell it)

Maybe the water just magically turned into the Dew

I will disuade you from thinking any magic was involved and reveal the trick.

His buddies brought it and they replaced the water bottle in her hand.

OK so we’re gonna kinda FF through the group shots… but we’ll hit some of the more amusing ones… you know… to keep you smiling.

Oh fine these next ones aren’t funny but it goes to show how everyone wins when we go under the shade, it’s not hot and it’s better lighting. I had Marco and Will helping out so that we could light them up to get the temple in the back.

And of course I gotta show the other family so we don’t cause problems. haha

May I take this moment to mention Will had only started with me the day before and the next day he was off shooting a wedding and helping with lighting.

The girls did some more fun stuff at the reception but I’ll take a moment for david and his sisters… tadah

Don’t worry her sisters held eachother

Cute baby break

I’m just sucking up to all the girls… they’re a sucker for the babies.

On that note… how about Grandpa and the baby

Like how I put that one bigger? It’s because you need to be wow’ed right about now. Or I guess this would be more of an awwhhhh moment.

Yes sir I’d be smiling too. (Well I guess it’s more of a grin, but yeah that’s what I’d be doing)

OK now let’s say our goodbyes to friends and family like mom and other lady.

Now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for.

(Side Note: This would have been a perfect time to pull out a picture of me… but alas. I have none… wait I have one of me at the reception… I’ll do something fun tomorrow)

Oh Young Love

Do you want to see her boquet? Did I need to ask?

Don’t just stand there gazing into eachother’s eyes… do something put your arms around eachother and … oh there you go… already doing it.

Yes we get the point

Oh ok we get it… you like eachother.

Haha like how I made it seem like all they ever did was kiss. Such power I wield as the blog editor!

More tender ahhh moments.

Well we’ve been spotted!

That didn’t last long back into eachother’s embrace they go

One could almost hear them say… “Oh Bobbie Jane I love you. Oh David I love you more. No I love you most.etc ” And of course all the while Bobbie Jane would be speaking in a southern bell accent because I mean her name is Bobbie Jane she simply must have an accent.

Ok Ok … nuf of this sappy stuff… I present to you socks and shoes in grass.

Rings on hands

And clenched hands… “never let go!”

A funny face should make you smile

Bye bye Bobbie Jane and David we’ll see you at your reception tomorrow… where we took an awful lot of pictures. Because well… we did.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the exciting conclusion… Bobbie Jane is excited… are you?
