August 14, 2009 // lovebirds / wedding
When I began taking pictures last year, I literally thought (more than once) that I wished I could take pictures of my sweet friend Jackie.  She has a classic, composed kind of loveliness that is just hard to come by. 

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...

When Nate met Jen, he decided, for the very first time in his life, that he liked California.

His admiration for the Golden State girl didn't end there -- it took him all the way to one knee at the Trevi Fountain in Rome, where he made Jen the happiest girl in the world.

This past Saturday, Nate & Jen arrived at their long-awaited wedding day.  The setting could not have been more beautiful, the ceremony more intimate, or the romance more apparent.

Joe proposed to Laurel on a mountain top - and things only went up from there.  Last Saturday, the two outdoors-loving lovers said "I do" on a warm, perfect day in Santa Rosa.

I arrived at the gorgeous Wikiup Ranch & Stables to find both the bride and groom's families working together to set up the entire wedding.  It was a fun morning filled with laughter, sweet cousins, good food, beautiful hair & makeup, and lots of excitement.

The groom was given a small welcome party by his friends and groomsmen...

Joe covered up his new tattoos with a great suit... all the while getting more and more anxious to see his bride.

He couldn't have imagined how beautiful she would be!

Laurel & Joe: you are such a beautiful couple.  The deep love and respect you hold for one another radiates from your eyes and smiles.  One day with you and the skeptic would believe in soulmates.  Love to you...

Last Saturday, Shoshana & Vicente sweetly and tearfully exchanged vows at Jack London Square.  They share a gentle, quiet demeanor that was described more than once (and by different people) on the wedding day as "angelic."

This soft-spoken pair is certainly not lacking in words to say - between them they speak English, Hebrew, and Spanish.  It's as if they save most of their words for each other... Where they are otherwise shy or choose to be reserved, they become chattering lovebirds when they come together.

I joined Shoshana in her home, early in the morning of her wedding day.  She beamed whenever someone entered the room - her mother, her flower girls, her bridesmaids... she was just so happy to be getting ready to marry the love of her life.  I stayed close as Shoshana had her hair and makeup done... watching her sip coffee and play with her hands in nervous, excited anticipation.

Shoshana looked stunning... and she was finally ready to go meet Vicente.  We did a first look at the wedding site - it was perfect.

Vicente was just aching to see his bride!

We eventually let him turn around...

I have so many more moments to share from this beautiful day... I hope I'll be able to share them soon.

All my love to you, Shoshana & Vicente. 
The Lord make his face shine on you, and be gracious to you...
