JON AND KARA MARRIED ~ WASHINGTON/IDAHO PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m truly going to make my best efforts to stay on top of this lovely blog of mine.  If anything, to give my couples a sneak peek of their pictures before they have to go through the painful time of waiting to see “the rest” of their photos.  I met Kara and Jon last year as they were preparing for their wedding and we did an engagement session, which gave me a chance to get to know them better…and they are fabulous!  I was so lucky to be at their wedding.  They had it at the Sleeping Lady in Leavenworth, WA (which is gorgeous!) I would call their wedding Casual Elegance!  They were dressed beautifully, but it wasn’t over the top fancy.  However, their decorations, especially all the flower arrangements were elegant and classy! (I will try and add a few more photos of the flowers in the near future)  Oh and Sleeping Lady does nothing but the best!  They are wonderful to work with and the FOOD, oh my goodness, there are no words…..delicious is an understatement!

I have so many photos that I want to post from this wedding and I did my best to include as many as possible.  I am continuing to grow as a photographer and part of that growth is changing my “blogging” style.  I’m trying to be a little more creative with how I post and include enough photos so you can get a good feel of the wedding day!  I hope you enjoy what you see.

My first attempt and displaying my photos in a grouped, creative way!  What do you think?

I loved Kara's dress!  It actually kind of had a little resemblance to my own. :)

I had to put this montage together of Kara laughing while I was trying to get some shots of just her. So cute!  I know it's always hard and akward for everyone to be infront of the camera all by themselves.

And finally, at least for now, I wanted to give a little feel for the absolute FUN they were having at the reception.  They cut up the rug!
