A February Wedding

OK so I’m cheating! This wasn’t taken this February.
Or even last year or the year before.

These pictures were from 2006
I started doing weddings in 2005

Not too Shabby eh?

Now days I take pride in in a consistent level of pictures all throughout a several hundred picture output.
Back then… well I’m happy to share a pretty decent set. Perhaps not as copious, but still pretty good.

Perhaps this post goes to show that maybe what I have improved the most at is developing the pictures and doing edits.
There wasn’t Photoshop Lightroom back then.

This was also before I discovered (had enough money for) low light lenses, and therefore before low apertures and blurred backgrounds.
Just some posing, framing and my 18-70 kit lens.

But the experience was always the smiling Jarvie interaction and capturing who they were.
Did I do that Garrett?

Where they’re at

Garrett has since gone into the Film industry
Jill does a lot of photography herself.
They both do.
I’ve shared some tips in years past, but I’m not sure how far they’ve gone with it.

Garrett is one of the people I suggest to Brides looking for a videographer.
He traveled to California to shoot a wedding I took pictures at.

Wedding and Reception were both held at the Red Butte garden.

We didn’t have a lot of time for setup portraits between the ceremony and reception.
But that was just as well as they asked me to document and not be in their face too much.

I like that style anyway capture the emotions of the day.

The Engagements and Bridals were more about creation, this one was about capturing the feelings of the day.

(Warning… there’s a lot. The first 150 should give you a good run down)

I sure made that place look like a forrest!

All prepped and ready to get married.

Still hasn’t seen her. But I’m sure he’s excited.

Some Details

Tried something new with the rind.
They had beautiful toasting glasses.
I don’t have a macro lens so I couldn’t get super close anyway.

The ring shots might have been forgotten if the best man hadn’t brought it to me before the ceremony.
Props to him.

When everyone is super excited about the flowers It’s time to start taking a bunch of pictures of flowers.
Probably would have done it anyway while I waited. But I more and more I see how much the setting of their reception means to brides.

What wedding event would be complete without a picture of the cake.

There weren’t too many posed shots that evening.

There’s a bunch of shots of them standing there as they listened to the pre-ceremony speaker.
This is just on of the ones i liked the framing of.
They’ll probably like the other pictures with more expression.

Bridesmaids watching the ceremony.

Exits are always a lot of fun.

Whoever told the mom that white pedals would be better… well they were right.
