Martorell {Wedding}

May 5, 2012

Sarah and Jashua

Anchorage LDS Temple

Mr and Mrs Martorell’s first glimpse of the world together!

Jashua’s brothers were the groomsmen… and what characters they were!

After a few family photos outside the temple, we went to Potter’s Marsh Historic site and took a few photos there:




Sarah has the most amazing eyes… Green with brown centers. Just stunning. (You make my job easy, pretty lady)
Jashua gets some air time! 
Now that is a combo I can appreciate: Peanut butter, chocolate and diamonds! <3
The reception was at the new facility at the Alaska Zoo… 
You can really tell when a bride has invested a lot of time into preparing and thinking through reception decor. I love Sarah’s rustic birch theme to go with her bright springy colors.


There were lots of  photos in creative birch frames that Jashua had made….. and for a guest book, the guests signed a wooden plank that will be made into a bench for their entry way.  
1st dance

Sarah hung a really beautiful mirror at the dance floor. Such a fun idea!

What a fun cake!:)

Thanks Sarah and Jashua for the gorgeous day!

Little Miss K {Baby}

I don’t get to work with babies very often, since most of my time is devoted to brides… so when I get to, it is a real treat. This cutie pie is only 10 days old… and such a sweet little sleepy girl, it sure made this shoot fun!

She really does have eyes in there! I think she was awake all of 1 minute for the entire shoot.
Just precious:

Janelle and Av {Engagement}

This just goes to show you… Alaska is gorgeous every month of the year. We shot these photos in the middle of breakup season mid April… and Alaska really showed off her style. What a gorgeous day!

This is one of my favorite little couples… Heaven and Mike.

We shot a little mini session on Saturday, and had so much fun playing around town, visiting antique stores and old trains.

This is Heaven’s little sister… isn’t she a doll!? Love her little smiles. 

DeVeaux {wedding}

Jessica & Andy DeVeaux

April 14, 2012

St Bartholomew’s Episcopal

Just one week after Alaska broke the snowfall record for “most accumulation”, Andy and Jessica tied the knot.

There are a couple fun little things about Jessica and Andy that make them a great fit for each other… For starters both Jessica and Andy work in similar fields: Jessica is a dispatcher, and Andy is a police officer. So if they happened to work in the same town (they don’t) she would get to boss him around! I love it! Another common interest is that they both are big time horse lovers… and have been since early childhood. And the last thing: they are smitten with each other!  I am sure that they will enjoy their lives together with their mutual interests… keeping peace and riding horses!

 

Flowers were by Cory Jacobson of AK Bouquet (with Jacobson’s Greenhouse)… and they were amazing!

We started Andy off out with the mountains majestic. He looks pretty dapper in his tux, don’t you think!?

With most of these guys being public servants, we had to do the super hero stance…
Andy went back to the church, and we worked with the gorgeous Jessica for a while. She is a picture perfect spring bride!

And back to the church for the ceremony! Didn’t they decorate it up all cute? The aisles are lined with photos of the bride and groom though their lives… starting at little children, and going up until present day.

 

Mr & Mrs!

You know, I gotta hand it to these two… it was really cold and windy by this point in the day.  I had on a jacket and I was chilly. They braved it out, and we made some really fun photos!

I always love to catch photos of groom’s with the flowers… it is so cute!

To the reception!:)


Again… those flowers are a knockout!

1st Dance!

Mother son, and father daughter dance:

Jessica and Andy hired a really super fun Bluesy band… and they rocked out the rest of the night.

And don’t forget to leave your comments and congratulations for Andy and Jessica down below! I love to hear what you think about the photos, and Jessica and Andy would love to hear from you!
And for an outtake… here is one of me doing my thing during the ceremony. Thanks Michael for this shot and for always being such a great second shooter…
