Last Saturday I had the privelage of photographing my best friend, Dawn’s, wedding. It was wonderful! She was so happy and I was so happy to see her so happy. She married a great guy named Bobby. They fit together so perfectly!

These are my favorites photos out of the 900+ we (my friend Jess came and second shot) took that day.

 It was an evening wedding so we took photos before the ceremony. There was no shade! All we had to work with was wind and sunshine. Lots and lots of sunshine!

I thought it was so sweet they wanted to get married up at the Lewis and Clark Monument. They love to go watch the sunset from the lookout so it seemed only appropriate that they should get married there before sunset. Not to mention I liked this location better than the first! The first location had a scenario of me in hip wadders standing in a lake to get the photos. Ha! I would have done it but am so glad I didn’t have to!

Love you guys so much! Thank you for allowing me to photograph your wedding and not making me wear a bridesmaid dress… or hip wadders…
