[30] Wedding images

Matt took the gents to a playground and took this awesome photo of Aric there.  It’s one of my favorites of the day, I think.

My shot of Aric.

Judy meanwhile orchestrating everything while getting her hair did.  Shot this through a mirror.

Judy got ready at her parents’ enormous house in the Turtle Ridge neighborhood in Irvine…so natch there were lots of pictures of baby Judy around!

Another favorite, of Judy’s dad bringing her veil and shoes upstairs to her.

Those jammies!!  LOL

Two of Judy’s bridesmaids and Judy’s sister fluttering about the dressing room

Shot by Matt, w/ added texture

Judy’s earrings screamed class

Don’t you wish your parents’ bedroom looked like this?  Or your own bedroom for that matter?

I also wish I had a staircase like this

Taken by Matt.  Judy has a ten-trillion megawatt smile.

WHY 2 PHOTOGRAPHERS AT ONE EVENT = OPTIMUM SITUATION: This is my angle of the wind suddenly catching Judy’s veil while setting up a shot…

…this is Matt’s angle of the same moment.  Two different yet really beautiful images from a single fraction of a second.
Sometimes when I have to explain to someone why they should consider paying extra for a second shooter, I can’t decide which of the myriad reasons I should begin with; illustrations like this are always so much more effective in explaining how sometimes two pairs of eyes are better than one.

Beautimous ceremony florals

While editing, when I saw this shot of one of the bridesmaids during the ceremony my first thought was, “I wonder what she’s thinking?”

First Dance

Changing into what I dubbed “The Queen of the Night,” dress (a lá the character from Mozart’s ‘Magic Flute’). Seriously, the dress looks like it was designed in the starry Milky Way!

The happiest I’d seen Judy’s father all day was during the Father-Daughter dance. SO CUTE.
