Steph's wedding days

in high school, i had a group of girl friends that you might consider a clique. actually you would definitely call us a clique considering we even had a self proclaimed name and everything. there were a solid nine of us that always hung out and through the years these same people have remained my best friends. we'd always envisioned each of us getting married with each other as the bridesmaids and whatnot. fast forward to last weekend, the first of our girl friends got married. she had little room for bridesmaids and there was no question her sisters were going to take two of those spots. so she chose her best friend and one of us. the rest of us girls were given duties during or before the wedding, so we still felt included.

my main duty, along with Kris, was to take photos at the rehearsal ceremony, rehearsal dinner and the morning of the wedding. i'm not the worlds greatest photog. in fact i don't even really fully understand all of the settings on my dslr and don't have a great grasp on the concepts of each function. and i don't have photoshop or know how to use photoshop to help with post processing. so i got what i got and i hope that she liked at least some of them!

this is where their wedding was supposed to be held. gorgeous, isn't it???

the happy couple. steph and eddie. 

her pops, whom she has an amazing relationship with. 

gorgeous Crystal Springs

Kris. the other photographer who, too, doesn't know how to fully use all the settings on her camera. hopefully between the two of us we at least got some decent shots.

i think this pic accurately depicts their relationship. he's a goof and she pretends to think she doesn't like it sometimes, but she totally does.

though it was raining and the wedding unfortunately couldn't be held outdoors in the lovely cliff side, it was still a very memorable wedding. they had a mutual friend ordained who spoke from the heart about their relationship and their love for one another. smiles and tears were everywhere and everything else was flawless. there was the cutting of the cake, the father/daughter dance, the mother/groom dance, the money dance and even the random speech by a drunk. the bridesmaids looked beautiful and the groomsmen handsome. but most of all the bride and groom were surrounded by love.
