First off, WOW...this weather is amazing!! It reminds me of the day Dan and I got married 5 years ago -- sunny, blue skies, crisp air -- what could be better!?! It is going to be a great weekend and I'm personally super pumped and inspired about the wedding we are shooting tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great, great weekend!!
Something else that was pretty darn amazing was Jeff and Julie's GORGEOUS wedding at Dara's Garden. It was the first of a string of weddings we've shot at new places and so it was exciting to be on the hunt for great backdrops and Dara's certainly had no shortage of great scenes. The favorite for us was a beautiful, very rustic back field that had an old barn (love), which happened to be covered in vines and yellow wildflowers (love, love), and surrounded by high and uncut grass and weeds (and anyone who has ever had their picture taken by us knows we love, love, love some high grass and weeds!). The day was mostly overcast, which was great because we could shoot any direction we wanted... Julie and Jeff were absolutely wonderful, the wedding party and families were really sweet and fun and we honestly couldn't have had a better time with this crowd. Everyone was just so happy and thrilled to be there for Jeff & Julie and it was truly an amazing day.
Here are a few details to start!
Before the ceremony, my favorite part of the day was shooting Julie by herself. If she was nervous and anxious she didn't show it one bit. Most of all Julie was just STUNNING! Julie combined with that beautiful backdrop was like a full bridal session in 30 mins. There were so many great shots from this segment we had a hard time choosing, but here are four of our favorites.
Julie and Jeff planned to see each other before the ceremony, so we had plenty of time to shoot them in this great spot.
Huge wedding party... I think there were 10 bridesmaids and 11 groomsmen, but Julie and Jeff were still 100% focused on each other ;)
Love this next shot as Julie gets ready to go to the ceremony
Guests threw rose petals as they were walking out - (love that!)
I think this one is so cute!
Magical first dance ;)
The end!! Congrats Julie & Jeff!!! Thanks so much for having us, y'all were great and we wish you all the best!! xoxox

Her hair is amazing!!!! Definitely my favorite part!
Congrats! Everything looks Beautiful!
These portraits are gorgeous to say the least. My friends couldn't say enough about the beauty, sense of peace, love and tranquility captured in the portraits. Several people commented "WOW, this looks like a model shoot." These portraits will be treasured forever. You are amazingly talented.
You guys never cease to amaze me! The best decision I made throughout the whole wedding process was picking you guys to capture my day. I couldn't have dreamed for the pictures to turn out any more perfect. Jeff and I were talking about how amazing it is how you capture the moments that we hardly even remember happening and you turn them into a fairytale story. Y'all ROCK! :)
These are THE most beautiful pictures! What a gorgeous setting, gorgeous wedding, gorgeous new family!
You captured great moments and expressions!
