Man, it seems like 3 years ago when I first met Zach and Starla to discuss their wedding plans. I know it wasn’t that long ago, but it sure seems like it. So yesterday, it was time for the I do’s, and it was a wedding I was definitely looking forward to shooting. It was a wedding of firsts for me, starting with the first Model T that I ever saw at a wedding.
It was also the first time a bride has shown up for a wedding that I was working wearing a beauty pageant-like sash. How fun!
Man, I gotta get one of these for my hybrid!
A few pre-wedding details.
Here’s Zach. Super calm, cool and collected.
With his proud parents.
The beautiful wedding dress.
I think someone must have told Starla that she just has to ‘dive’ into it :>)
Well, she made into the dress, and brought her Mom with her!
And Starla has some proud parents, too.
Some more pre-wedding details.
The men showing up at the chapel.
And they’re being watched!
One of the really cool things about Willowood is that when shooting from the balcony, you feel like you’re right on the platform with the bride and groom.
Zach and Starla with another first for me. They showed their willingness to sacrifice themselves to one another using the Biblical lesson of washing each other’s feet as illustration.
One of the must do’s at Willowood is the ringing of the church bells prior to running through the bubbles.
And off we go to the reception.
And the first dance.
Meanwhile, I am off to find more details.
Another first. Starla and her Dad Bill did this cool kind of a jig thing around the dance floor. The deejay said something about people not doing this anymore, but I never knew they did. Whatever it was, it was really cool.
Go Zach, go Zach.
The night ended with fireworks.
And even more fireworks! Thanks guys, for letting me be a part of your incr
edible wedding.
STUNNING, beautiful photos. And even more gorgeous subjects. What camera do you use?
Congratulations from a proud owner of one of Bill’s doxies – Laurie (Mama of Scrappy)!
