I often say I'm going to sit down & try to figure out how many Weddings we've shot now, but that could take a lot of time. In fact, it was only in the early years of 'Larsen's Photography' that anyone even bothered to ask. If I had to guess - it's around 150 now. And, I can honestly tell you ~ every single one is positively different in so many ways! That's what makes it all so fun & rewarding!
This Wedding, in particular, has quite possibly been one of my favorites.
...I don't think it's any one thing, necessarily, that I can put my finger on - just the whole day in & of itself. This fantabulous & fun couple, their guests, the Bridal Party, the flowers, the Shoes, (oh yes - I LOVE me some Jimmy Choo!), that cake, the location, the dresses, the food...it was just a wonderful day to be a part of. Although, just seeing Stephanie + Steven together most certainly puts it at the top of anyone's list that knows them - even without all the other great stuff! They spend all of their time laughing. Just enjoying one another & loving every moment! I am so honored to have been there & to keep these memories alive for them for decades to come!
We met everyone at the beautiful Hyatt Vineyard Creek in Santa Rosa to get ready. The boys had been in the pool, so dispursed to shower - while the girls were all busy with hair & make-up!
This is that 'something' that translates right through Stephanie! She's just HAPPY!! (not to mention stunningly beautiful) xo
Stephanie & her hottie Sister are both getting Married this year!
CONGRATULATIONS, Boyce Family, on all of your love & joy!!
Thanks, Pinterest!
...I think THIS Window is why I love this Hotel so much!? "-)
Stephanie was about to see her man for the 1st time in her Wedding gown...and, I wanted to grab a few shots of just her...which resulted in - what else? Laughter!!
Goes down smooth...?
...here we go...! As Family watches from their rooms above!
"...do I look yet?!"
Steven told me long ago he feels 'awkward in photos'...wrong!
I'm hoping now, he'll at least consider changing that to 'handsome & debonaire'!! xo
I just love their colors for this Summer Wedding! Fun, bright & adorable - just like them!
Time to get Married!
...little niece just relaxing in the shade...
Not quite sure what Niels was asking for over there with the boys...?
I had no clue what they meant when they said, "Let's do the pose from Bridesmaids!" ~ luckily they sure did!!
(sorry - - between 'Photographer' & 'Mommy' - - not much time for movies!)
The Reception Hall looked AMAZING!
Back outside to catch the Sunset real quick...!
PhotoBooths are SO fun!
Daddy must be quite popular with the Ladies...?
I counted no less than 5 different colored lipsticks on those cheeks!! "-)
"Oh NO you didn't!!"
Time to PARTY!!
...letting the animal out!
...awww...re-creating their Prom Pose from High School! "-)
