Sarah + Devin 8.6.09

It was raining on Sarah & Devin's wedding day. No, not raining. POURING. THUNDERING. The clouds were so dark and heavy that I could not help but pray three separate times during my drive to Emmett, that somehow the clouds would clear, the sun would shine and that there would be summer evening bliss, if just for a few hours during the outdoor ceremony and reception. The heavy, dark clouds did not clear. However, it did not rain. And the sun, well she winked at a us a few times throughout the evening.
I met Sarah and Devin last spring and from our first meeting, I knew their wedding was going to be not only gorgeous, but fun. They're cool people, after all. Outdoorsy. Adventurous. They were married at the Fourth Street Gardens in Emmett. WOW. What a beautiful location!!! I can't wait to shoot there again! Devin and Sarah opted for a first look shoot-when the bride and groom meet before the ceremony in an intimate setting with only the photographer present. These are the most sensitive and intimate moments of the day.















I tried out a new honey-processing on this *favorite* image and love it:










"Thank You" shots are a creative way to dress up those post-wedding
thank you cards. Sarah put together a little collage of the "Thank You" pictures
taken that day and turned them into their thank you cards. Great idea!





Sarah was escorted by her father down a tree-lined aisle, flanked by
hanging flower baskets. I love this shot of father and daughter:





Here are a few of the details...


Thank you Devin and Sarah for inviting me to photograph your gorgeous wedding!
