minta and michael . part one

welcome minta and michael, the first installment! my family and minta's family have been close friends since before we were born and so we grew up like cousins (i thought we WERE cousins until i was about 10 and sorta put two and two together).  it was such an honor to be able to photograph this amazing girl who i love and respect so much and her new husband (who i just love!) on their wedding day at the seattle temple. these two are crazy  in love and I LOVE IT.

minta and michael are nothing if not jokesters- i won't tell what michael did to make her laugh, but trust me. you would have laughed too. =) this is not the only shot i have of them throughout the day laughing their guts out!

Nice! You were lucky you caught some sun!! The wedding I did a few weeks back...It was sunny with overcast, and I was glad it didnt rain either. When were you here? Was this back in the beginning of May?

I especially love the candid shots where people are talking in crowds and you capture a special smile or look.
