I’ve been really super busy everyone! For the first weekend in August, I had back-to-back weddings! It was all so much fun and such a learning experience.  I’m so glad I had my very good friend and fellow photographer, Liz from ThirdStrandPhotography come and help me.

I was really excited about capturing Carlie and Jose’s wedding. Carlie’s mom, Wendy, took a chance with me, as a new photographer getting into the wedding industry. Thank you all for  the opportunity.

The fabulous part about Carlie and Jose’s celebration, was that I had a chance to capture the rehearsal dinner festivities at Artesa Winery. Check out some of the moments captured during dinner.

The actual wedding took place at the beautiful Vezer Family Vineyard. The lush green rows of the vineyard, the canary blue color of the  tasting room, and a vintage car is an incredible combination for a wedding venue..

My favorite moments of the day:

- Carlie and Jose praying together before the ceremony. They didn’t want to see each other before the actual ceremony, so the door to the tasting room was a perfect barrier.

- The  moment that Dad sees his baby girl comes down the steps in her wedding dress. The love he had in his eyes for his daughter and the sadness at the same time, knowing that he is giving her away, brought a tear to all who witnessed.

- The serious dance battle between the Bride and her ladies versus the Groom and his men.  I’m still not sure who won, they were all so good!

I wish I can show you every single photo right now, but I’m still working on them. (even while on vacation out here in Yellowstone). In the meantime, here are a few more sneak peeks.

Congratulations Carlie & Jose!
