Caitlin + Ryan Married!

December 22nd, 2011 | filed under: photo, wedding | tags: , |

Caitlin and Ryan are now married! I’ve known these two for what seems like forever and it’s crazy to see them all gown up and married. ;) I’d like to say that I played a small part in getting them together, but realistically they probably wouldn’t have been able to stay apart either way. Caitlin and Ryan are so in love with God and so in love with each other. It’s truly great to be a part of the lives of such a loving and genuine couple.

They’re also super cute. :) Here are the photos…

Shout out to Ashel Parsons as 2nd photographer and Justin Harris as ceremony video guy. :) Also Dell-icious Cakes and Aramark catering.

Tyffany and John Wedding

July 14th, 2011 | filed under: wedding |

I had the opportunity to shoot a couple weddings with Karlo of Karlo Photography this summer. He’s a really cool and fun guy and shooting with him is a blast. But…for some reason he only shoots weddings where the groom is named John. I mean…not a bad choice.  hah, kidding, but I think it was funny that both weddings we shot had that common theme.  :)

The wedding was at the Fairmont in Washington D.C., which is a pretty sweet place. And now… the photos.

Watching Secondhand Lion while getting ready for your wedding. Good call. :)

The birds-eye view. :)

John got his groomsmen some classic rock band records. Takes me back… (Jimmy Eat World was the one I recognized)

2nd shooting a wedding is nice sometimes because you can take more risks. I knew we already had the safe shots, so I tried getting some different photos.

Tyffany’s dad was a riot. His toast was about 10 minutes long, but in a good way. ;)

Karlo and I making some sweet shots. Well, I mostly stayed to the side trying to get a cool behind-the-scenes photo. ;)

Chelsie + Johnny Married! [part 2]

Continuing from Chelsie and Johnny’s awesome wedding. [see part 1]

Super cute. :)

The girls.

Sarah took pictures of the guys.

The bridal party…and yes, that wagon survived everyone standing on it.  :)

The cake was awesome! It was ordered from the very cake shop that produced the reality TV show ‘Ace of Cakes’ on Food Network. (aka top notch. :)) Chelsie and John’s first date was going through the cereal isle in a grocery store. The rest is history. That’s a true love story beginning right there.  =)

haha…telling Chelsie’s deepest secrets about cooking.  =)

Before / after. Probably the most hilarious cake-eating that I’ve seen to date.  :)

Almost

The Harding crew! There was a good representation. :)

For the exit, Chelsie chose cereal to be thrown. So cool.

Chelsie + Johnny Married! [part 1]

June 16th, 2011 | filed under: wedding |

When I think of Chelsie and Johnny, I think of fun times, laughter, and a solid spiritual focus. John and Chelsie both are a joy to be around, it was pretty cool to be a part of their big day. :)

There were just too many pictures to put all in one post so I decided to just post the first half. Stay tuned for the rest!

Fun times getting ready. :) (by Sarah)

Clare + Dylan Married!

May 19th, 2011 | filed under: photo, wedding | tags: , |

Giving someone a ride–normally a pretty normal and ordinary part of college life, but for Clare and Dylan it turned into something much more. A mutual friend needed a friend picked up, Dylan was the man, they met, and now the rest is history. Now through a common purpose and love for the Lord and each other, the future is looking bright. :)

The wedding was at Tahkodah. The style was really cool and I thought it was perfect for Clare and Dylan in reflecting their personality. From the picnic blanket seating to the outdoor reception to the rocking dance floor, it was great.

And for their honeymoon? A camping and kayaking trip! How cool is that? :) Clare and Dylan–thanks for having me be a part of your special day. Stay awesome. :) Here’s glimpse of their wedding story…

Clare and Dylan opted to do the first look–a meeting before the wedding to take a few seconds to relax and actually slow down for a bit. It’s a really special time and it happens to make for some great photos too.

The guests.

Mr. and Mrs!

The cake eating. (photo by Gibs)

Then on to the dance floor!

Yeah Clare… workin’ it. ;)

Chaney got the bouquet!

And Charlie gets the garter. Is this fate? I guess we’ll see. ;)

And finally, walking to the car. They made it.  :)
