08.01.15 Joe & Jackie

I had the sheer pleasure of shooting this beautiful couple's ceremony last month.  First of all, can I say that I don't have a single bad photograph of Jackie, she smiled the whole day straight!  We started in the morning in Saratoga with the girls getting ready at their hotel.  We then drove up to Jackie's family's place where the ceremony was held, deep in the WY mountains about an hour outside of Saratoga.  It was the most beautiful view of a lush valley with mountains in the distance.  The ceremony was attended by their immediate family members.  Afterwards we headed back down the hill to the reception, which was held at The Yard in Saratoga.  What a cool venue!  It is normally a concert venue, but on this day we were celebrating Joe and Jackie's wedding!  The reception was gorgeous, thanks a lot to their amazing wedding planner, Christine!   Every detail was perfect.  They were surrounded by friends from near and far.   There was some pretty excellent dancing, some very nice toasts by Joe's brother and Jackie's step dad and a good time was had by all.   When I saw Jackie's dress for the first time I was surprised to see it was short, but later that evening she revealed the need for a shorter dress... all you had to do was watch this girl dance!  She can cut a rug! The picture below is named, "Upside Down Bride."   In the end, I think Jackie and Joe became a closer friend of mine, I am looking forward to watching their love grow over the years.
