Um… wow! Words cannot describe how amazing this wedding was at Broken Top Club in Bend! And I’m not just talking about how pretty all of the details were, or how lovely all of the bridesmaids looked (but as you can see, they were indeed lovely). This wedding just had an extra dose of special. Amanda and Michael were completely surrounded in the joy and love of their family and friends in Jesus.
Today I have for your viewing pleasure all of my best bride and groom portraits. A lot of couples ask questions like, “What is your photography style?” or “We don’t want any posed shots, you won’t make us pose, right?” or my favorite “Will you tell us what to do on the wedding day? We’re horrible in front of the camera!”
Some of my favorite wedding images are from the moments right after the first kiss when the bride and groom are announced as husband and wife for the first time. The first kiss is of course important to catch, but the looks of sheer joy right after are unbeatable! I’ll be sharing a few more of my favorite moments from 2014 but I wanted to start here because I think its a really overlooked beautiful part of the day.
I’ve definitely learned the secret to having a great wedding: Surround yourself with people you love and let everything else go! I can easily say that Aubrey and Nathan did just that.
Their wedding was vibrant and beautiful with blue, purple, pink and orange hues. The bride worked with her florists of Celebration Floral to come up with a gorgeous new design of floral trees for the ceremony and reception. Celebration has even named this after her, you can also request to have “The Aubrey” at your wedding!
