Okay, seriously. Weddings are the best.
And this one, was gorgeous! Stephanie is an amazing woman. She planned the whole wedding, worked, went to school, and even made the cake, all while being incredibly beautiful, cute, funny, and friendly.
I want to be like her when I grow up.
🙂
This wedding day began with rain and heavy clouds. I prayed, and prayed, and prayed that the rain would clear up for the pictures. And, praise the Lord, it did! Just as we stepped outside to shoot the first look, the clouds parted, and a sun beam landed right where I was standing.
I almost cried.
Then, just as the first notes of “Marry Me” played, and Stephanie walked out down the isle, big and soft snowflakes started falling outside. Everyone nearly gasped.
And I did cry (just a tad).
You can see their same day slideshow HERE.
Thank you, Josh and Stephanie, for allowing me to be a part of your special wedding. I so enjoyed spending time with you.
Congratulations!!

So beautiful!! I love them all, thank you so much, you did a wonderful job.
I have been coming to your blog for a while now, and I love it!
Your photography is so beautiful!
I like photography too, but just for fun not professionally!
I have a question, do you have all of those settings on your camera or do you edit them online after you take them?
Oh and I found your blog through a comment you made on Daughters of Vision!
These pictures are beautiful! Just excellent!
These are so, so pretty! That snow is just amazing!
Oh Keilah. These are breathtaking. Memories to treasure, for them and you! Very very lovely work.
Hi Keilah, These pictures are gorgeous! I really like the ones out in the snow. They must have been freezing!: )
I found your blog through a comment you left on the Burnett Families blog, and have enjoyed stopping by once in a while and seeing your awesome photographs! I love the unique perspective that you use in your photos!!
I am in high school and practice photography, just for the fun of it, for my families blog. I love taking pictures of my family (I have 9 almost 10 siblings by the way:), and the lovely scenery here in Idaho where we are currently living, so I really enjoy seeing your beautiful pictures! Here is my families blog address in case you would like to stop by and visit us sometime!

Wonderful photos!!! I loved each one! Do you use a flash or simply the available light?
Rachel: During the ceremony I used flash, but all outdoor shots are natural light! 🙂 Thank you very much!
