Krista is the little sister of one of my best friends in college, so shooting this couple on their wedding day was especially meaningful. Tyler and Krista got married at the Boojum Tree Hidden Gardens in Phoenix on Saturday, a mecca for interesting backgrounds and eclectic decor. I love this adorable couple and am thankful that they chose me to capture their wedding day.
I was awed by how gorgeous and sophisticated Krista looked. (As you'll see a few images down, so was Tyler!)
"BUSTED!" Ha! This is one of my favorite candids of the day! Tyler was supposed to be following me to get his pictures taken, but I turned around and he was no where to be found. I retraced my steps and found this little scene- Tyler with his parents, Dad with a little silver flask in hand. (Heh-hum! . . . just clearing my throat a bit . . . ! Ha!) I LOVE each of their reactions as they respond to getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Thankfully, I always keep my camera on, even during transitions. Sometimes the best images come during these non-events. What a great laugh!
Tyler and Krista's 'First Peek' was my favorite moment of the day. It was filled with so many emotions- to be able to capture this much in a 20 second period of time- it is a dream come true for a photographer. Tyler was nervous and excited at the same time waiting to see his bride. Krista walked down the pathway, glowing as she anticipated surprising her groom. It was all just so romantic . . .
I LOVE this image!!
I LOVE this image!!
The Boojum Tree's ceremony site could NOT get any more beautiful! (And this, in the heart of Phoenix! Who knew!?!)
(In the ceremony collage, I had to include a shot of my new friend, Jim- the gentleman in the red coat and derby. What a dresser!)
