This photo is out of order, but I wanted to start the post with the photo that made me say “Awwww” as soon as I took it. Nick said, “Wow! We made the photographer say ‘Awwww’!”
Nick & Arwyn hired me to photograph their small, intimate wedding on Friday evening, and I arrived at her parents’ house in West Falls not knowing exactly what to expect because, as Nick put it, “We’re kind of going with the flow.” I knew I was in for a treat when I went upstairs to see Arwyn and her dad put in fake joke teeth for a father/daughter photo. (Pardon the noise, this was at 6400ISO.)
Arwyn had already gotten dressed before I arrived, but I was able to catch her doing some last minute touchups. This mirror was so old… much more character than anything in my house!
I could tell how much family and tradition meant to Nick & Arwyn… they had each other’s family names engraved into their rings, and Arwyn carried her great grandmother’s lace on her bouquet.
Nick & Arwyn’s dogs are important to them too – we tried to do a family photo of the four of them but with one dog not paying attention and the other dog choosing that very moment to fertilize the lawn… here are some individual shots.
Details, details…
The ceremony was in a small church next door to her parents’ house, and was family & close friends only (there were 18 people in the church, including the judge).
We did a few posed photos on the lawn afterwards. I’m pretty sure neither of them stopped smiling at any point. We also did a photo of everyone in front of Arwyn’s parents’ house.
Then we went to Tempo where they had some cocktails, toasts, a wonderful slideshow, and dinner, at which point I bid my adieu.
Good luck to you both! Congratulations, and I’m sending warm, sunny wishes for your reception!
