So mom had pretty much decided on me for Britt's wedding photographer, but I still jumped at the chance to meet the bride. I was already in Boise, so I met them at Chic Boutique (super cute store in the 8th St. Marketplace!) while she was trying on her dress again, before all going to lunch. I brought my camera and just took a couple candids. Can you guess which dress she chose?
She wanted a vintage feel, with a modern twist, so I played around in photoshop and came up with this 'look/treatment' for her. Love it! (so did she!) Looking forward to Britt's wedding in Sept here in Sun Valley!!
This book is a collection of the brides favorites. Even though she picked too many (it's ok AnnMarie), it really shows how much FUN this wedding was!, and how much fun I think this newly married couple will have for the rest of their lives. These books are completely personal anyway, as I work with the brides to put together something totally custom that they will love.
My other June wedding was in Boise, too. Erin and Michael got married in St. John's Cathedral and it was like a royal wedding. So different from Zeke and AnnMarie, but funny enough, they wanted the same song for their slideshow. Hey, our country roots run deep here in Idaho. This was probably one of the toughest (logistically and lighting wise) but I had Tai Kerbs as the second shooter, so I wasn't worried. Great families on both sides, and the party went LATE NIGHT, as these fun folks were still doing shotskiis in the parking lot at 2am. By the end, I had to be 'superThia' as it was a 15 hour day for me -omg! Erin's sister, a fashion designer, made the wedding dress and all the brides maids dresses!!! Wow! Fabulous job!
Ok, so I think I fell in love with both AnnMarie and Zeke by the end of their wedding day. One of the funnest couples EVER. AnnMarie took the looming rain clouds in stride, and the bridal party ROCKED for putting up with the drizzle for the train track shot and the football field shot. We moved the wedding inside the Train Depot, but it all worked out seemlessly, thanks to the great team at Bliss Events.
AnnMarie is the event coordinator for Boise State, so the reception was held at the new Stuekle Center overlooking all of Boise (complete with a chocolate fountain, photo booth, and the best band ever). Perfect! So glad not to be in a soggy tent as the rain poured down after we got inside. I brought in Tai Kerbs from Santa Barbara, and Charlie Baser from her new job in Colorado, as second shooters. LOVE working with these girls! They are fantastic photogs (and great people!) and I can't say enough good things about them. We were the dream team, indeed!
I cried myself when I made the slide show, so check it out.
