Their big day finally came on July 30th, 2010!   Thankfully, the week before, I checked my trusty Google Calendar, only to discover that I had written down THE WRONG DATE on my home calendar.  So, I had been counting on Sat, July 31st as their wedding date (even had a storyboard made for the signing table with that date!) to realize a week beforehand that Friday the 30th was actually the big day.  After a moment of panic got a sitter (Eric!) all figured out,  confirmed with my lovely second shooter and sister-in-law, Katrina Lodder of Masters Touch Photography, that she could make that date, and got the storyboard reprinted…  phewf!   I don’t even want to think about what could have happened if I hadn’t ever checked my Google Calendar.  Yikes.   Thanks again for coming along Katrina – it was fun to hang out all day and shoot together!!

The weather was gorgeous (perhaps a tad hot for guys in tuxes!) and Kyle and Lorraine’s love and happiness made the day beautiful.   We enjoyed getting to know their families and friends – they are blessed with loving parents, siblings and church community.   Thanks for letting us in to your world, Kyle and Lorraine, and I hope you are having a relaxing, enjoyable honeymoon!    Now, let’s get on with it – the pictures!!

I think some of my favorite photos from a wedding day are often the “getting ready” pictures…   I just love the anticipation of the first look, the wedding and all that good stuff…

The handsome groom and lovely bride!

I actually screamed with joy when I saw this bridge…   the wedding party can attest to that!

talk about gorgeous wedding party!!

Due to church rules, we weren’t allowed to take photos during the ceremony inside the sanctuary, but I managed to grab this one before the doors were shut….

The reception hall was decorated beautifully!!   We had lots of time to grab some detail shots during the ceremony…

Thanks again, K + L, for sharing your special day with us!   We will be in touch soon!
