Pretty, pretty, pretty Jess and I had a quick sip at Peet's last week. We chatted about life, ambitions, motherhood, adoption, marriage, anthropologie, racial ambiguity, mamacitas, and the delicious pink iced tea blend she was enjoying.
Jess is just all-around striking... but what really gets me is her intense green eyes and her adorable freckles.

I can't wait to spend more time with you, Jess. You're as brilliant as the brightest star.
Jackie & Jordan embraced simplicity and personally meaningful elements to celebrate their union. They were perfectly relaxed and at home all throughout the beautiful Colorado Saturday... choosing to enjoy the moments purely; letting themselves breathe deep and experience the momentous nature of the day.




Honestly... isn't Jackie the most classic bride you could have imagined?











"I'll be yr bird"


















Jackie & Jordan: it was a real pleasure spending your special day with you! I loved going through the McD's drive-through, feeling the center of Denver, seeing you become man and wife, eating delish cake, and laughing almost the whole time. Best to you both as you venture on to Seattle and... beyond!
054 is my favorite, but these are all so amazing.
(08.18.09 @ 05:33 PM)Brilliant. As always. Cute couple. Cute wedding. Gorgeous shots.
(08.20.09 @ 02:29 PM)They are absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you so much for coming and for capturing the beauty of the day and in the simple moments...I aspire to do the same myself with my photos! If only I could get the family to stop making faces at me! ;-)
(08.21.09 @ 05:25 AM)Seriously, your editing is AMAZING! Beautifully timeless!
(08.21.09 @ 09:58 PM)Those are great! Can I get married again so you can take my pictures? I like how the colors (and the style of her dress) looks like my parents wedding photos. So cool!
(08.26.09 @ 07:52 PM)your works are very amazing =]
they are simply gorgeous.
While I'm finishing the blog photos from their lovely Colorado wedding, I thought I'd give you a little taste of what you're in for.

My wish came true when I got an email this summer from Jackie, asking me if I would photograph her wedding! "Yes!"
This morning, I flew to Colorado. Jackie got me all jazzed about the details of the big day, and I got to meet the man of her dreams... Jordan! I'd be playing it way too cool if I said I was simply excited about the day ahead. I'm ecstatic.
Here is a little glimpse into Jackie & Jordan...



















Tomorrow is going to be a good day.


Here's to wishes coming true.
You're in Colorado?!? What?!?!?
Lovely shots :)
WHAT?!? i had NO idea they were even engaged!!! SO AWESOME! :)
(08.15.09 @ 09:09 PM)Originally the whole point of the outing was to find new ideas for my room... but it turned into an excuse to shop and be girly. Works for me!
Paper Source (for pretty cards), Anthropologie (for a new purple dress(!)), The Gardener (for a look at succulents and a taste of ginger candy), Castle in the Air (for magic, magic, magic).
I've always adored succulents -- and one of my only desires for my room was that it have lots of succulents inside. The Gardener had plenty of pretty little ones to look at...


We were back home by dusk... just in time for a photo of Rach with her sweet little bug.

Here's to mid-week field trips... evenings in Berkeley... and the countless joys of being a girl!
Tapi! :)
(08.14.09 @ 12:26 PM)Nice to see that Rachel still has the VW. I remember when my wife and I used to live walking distance from 4th St.; we enjoyed little strolls down there, esp. when they used to have Cody's down there. I definitely miss many things about living in Berkeley. Great pics, as usual.
