- California Wedding: Jenise and Joel -

Alright, this post is LONG over due (I think I say that to often...), but better late than never!
In October you may remember that I visited my awesome friend Kristen Booth!  While I was there I got to second shoot two weddings with her (view the other wedding HERE), and I've got to say this one was stunning!  Like, perfect stunning!  God painted the sky a beautiful coral and blue, provided a rainbow just as the vows were read, and the lighting was a photographers dream!  Here are some of my favorites from the wedding, and make sure to check out Kristen's fantastic shots from the wedding HERE! 


Before I go on I must say that, not only was this one of my first outdoor weddings (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!), but it was my very first wedding with a "first look".  I must admit that I used to be skeptical of first looks...with the tradition and all, but for real!  This was the only chance they got all day to share an intimate moment with each other, and it's the wedding day!  If you're unsure of this the photos really say it all!  SO wonderful!  I've been converted!  So watch out brides, I'm going to do some serious first look convincing on ya!  ;)



Another fun part of this wedding, the details!  They did a super job, and it's pretty much all DIY!  Love it!  Please note that they did not even rent out a venue!  Quiet honestly, this is my type of wedding: simple, but gorgeous!  One of my favorite details are the engagement photos.  They took Kristen's stunning photos from their engagement session (HERE) and placed the prints in jars with ribbons on each of the tables! 



And as I said before, as the vows came to a conclusion, and the two were pronounced man and wife, God painted a beautiful rainbow in the sky behind them.


I hope you enjoy these shots!  I know I thoroughly enjoyed shooting them!
Have a fantastic afternoon!
