February Photography Series, Wedding vs. Now

Today's photography prompt from Joy in Love was "Then and Now"

Next month Kevin and I will celebrate our 12th Anniversary. Can it really have been that long since our wedding?

I was SO sick in this picture.  Our photographer was fantastic I would cough cough cough and then quickly smile and he would snap.  In all our photos he only caught me coughing once, with film.  He was a brave, brave soul.

This is this evening after putting 4 kids to bed.  My how life has changed.  Wouldn't trade it for the world. 

And just for kicks, here is the one of the two of us from this spring, back at the same place.  Tara does a much better job than my self timer.  :)  

Jessica and Edward ~Elko Wedding and Basque Clubhouse Reception

Jessica and Edward were married at the St Joseph's Catholic church here in Elko.  The bridal party then scooted over to the Star for a few drinks while guests gathered at the Basque Club house. The trolley brought them to greet their guests for dinner and dancing there. 

The Catholic Church here is such a beautiful venue.  So much light pours in from the windows on both sides of the sanctuary. 

 

I have to sneak in one of the detail shots here, aren't Jessica's shoes to die for?

 

Dance time.  I don't think it gets any better then it did that night.  The heat of the day was starting to wane and our bellies were full from the scrumptious food, and the light, oh my goodness the light, the light during the first dances was PERFECTION.

Thank you Jessica and Ed  for letting me be a small part of your special day.

Mr and Mrs Coleman ~ Elko, NV Wedding Photographer

I am SO honored and blessed to have been a part of John and Lee's Wedding Celebration.  We started the day with all the girls getting all dolled up, then over to the First Baptist Church for their ceremony. Both Lee and John have been married before and told me several times that this time around they really wanted to do it "right."  I think they fully and completely accomplished that. The ceremony was short, but oh so sweet.  You could really feel the love between them as they spoke their vows. They are truly dedicated to one another no mater what the future may hold.

 

       

 

 

We then headed straight over to the Red Lion ballroom for an amazing party. Lee had thought of every detail and it really showed.  Elegant, elegant, elegant, WOW! What a fun night, thank you for letting me be a part of your day.  

Congratulations and best wishes for many happy years to come.

Izatt Vow Renewal ~ Elko NV Photography

I am so honored to have had the privilege to photograph Lee and Aleesha as they reaffirmed their vows to one another.  They held their event at the Stockman's Hotel in Elko, NV.  I was a bit skeptical at first.  (Lee is my brother, I'm allowed to question him)  it turned out WONDERFUL!   Stockman's hadled the event wonderfully, and Chip from Stonerock DJ kept the party GOING!

 

 

 
 

For their original wedding Lee had forgotten and worn white socks.  They have the cutest picture of them on the Courthouse steps and his white socks are peeking out.!  Aleesha made sure that this time Lee had black socks. 
Oh and casino's don't like you to take pictures on the casino floor.  Glad I nailed that one on the first try!


 

 

Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day!!
