Shelly's Bridals

 A beautiful day, a beautiful bride (how'd Ryan get so lucky?!), and RED shoes :)

In the canyon, near a private road.  White dress, bouquet, sunlight streaming through the trees.  What an idyllic setting.  Then the homeowner appeared, dragging her trash can to the curb.  They were right.  I should've taken a picture of it.

Candids are still my favorite!

Kim & Tyson

We had a little scheduling conflict between ceremony and reception so we opted for pre-wedding photos which I LOVE!  So much less stress than trying to fight for space at the temple, fight for time with Aunt Stella and your 53rd cousin, twice removed who have to have a photo with you on your wedding day.  Not to mention we can show the weather who's boss!

Louis/Shoemake Wedding

It all seems so simple to the untested soul...

All you need is a venue,

A few pretty things.

A bride,

A groom,

Coupl'a rings.

And you've got yerself a wedding. 

Happily Ever After. 

I happen to know that it's much more work than that.  These two even decorated their own wedding cake the night before.  That's love!  Dedication from their families and friends.  That's what makes a wedding.

Continuous support with continued love.  That's what makes a happily every after.

To test her resolve, a Choctaw tradtition.  The bride runs for the mark (in this case, this flagpole).  The groom runs for the same mark with a later start.  If he touches it before she does the marriage is on.  If not, she can get out of it.

It's not easy, this getting married business.

Love and well wishes to send them off in their new life together.
