Rob and Kelly were married on October 31st, (HALLOWEEN!)
Rob is my first cousin, and the closest thing I have to a little brother. When, his twin sister married three years ago, I was the maid of honor. This time I traded in that role, for the one of photographer; one I'm admittedly more comfortable with, but I know if I don't post some photos from the wedding soon, I'll be flooded with emails and phone calls from my relatives. Patience is not a trait that runs in my family. So, this post is to pacify my family, who I know are eagerly awaiting.
Although, the temperature had been in the 30's earlier in the week, things had warmed up by Friday and we had a beautiful fall day. There ceremony took place outdoors under a gazebo, then everyone moved inside for a casual reception at Gilbert's Party Barn.
The wedding took place, quite literally down the road (or gravel path) from where I grew up. My parent's house quickly became the meeting point for everyone before the wedding. I ended up doing quite a bit of these pre-ceremony shots of the bride and groom there.
Kelly even got ready in my old bedroom, which photographed much better than I ever would've imagined. Then again, after living there for nearly 20 years, I guess I you could say I was familiar with the location.
(For some reason I LOVE this first image of Kelly. It reminds me of something you would see in a magazine, although, I suspect my family won't love it as much as I do.)
Admittedly, these are more of the artsy-shots. I'm still working on the rest, and to any family out there reading this, I'll let you know as soon as the rest are finished. I hope these will tide you over in the mean time. Enjoy

As your proud mom and aunt to the groom, let me say the pictures look great. I'm really glad I bought that mirror for your room because it helped make a beautiful picture. Personally, I can't wait to see more, but like you said patience is not a virtue common in our family. They look great Kiddo. Lots of Love , Mom
Okay, for the record, I like the partial portrait of Kelly too (and I'm family...do I count?) My favorites though are the full shot of the bride back-lit (where it looks like her gown is glowing) and the picture of the groom looking through the ring (it looks like something he would do while clowning around.) As far as "tiding over" the family, you may have just given them an appetite for more :-) Good luck, photographer!
These are beautiful Crystal! And I love the partial portrait too (I'm not family so I dobut if I count). ;-)
Have a lovely day!
