Kelly & Bruce *Wedding http://www.kristendawnblog.com/index.cfm?postID=67 http://www.kristendawnblog.com/index.cfm?postID=67 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT Kelly sat on the bed looking at her bridesmaids, her ankles crossed, her hands clasped in her lap. "I know. No really I'm fine. I'm good. Yea. We're already married!!" She tried to convince herself that her nerves were just a figment of her imagination. Her foot tapping gave it away. Her friends diligently helped get Kelly into her dress, showered her in pearls and gave her assuring words of encouragement. But she was fine. Really. Fine.
Kelly and Bruce exchanged vows before Bruce had deployed and now they were doing it again, bigger, and with nicer weather.

Heads turned and everyone rose to their feet as Kelly gracefully glided down the aisle to her husband. The golden sun feathered through the glass as vows were exchanged for a second time. The words were strong, the promises forever and not an ounce of foot tapping could be heard.


A little help from her friends...




Lovin' the bridal party's great outfits!!



Hi cuties...





Daddy's dance


Kelly changed into this little number after all of the major festivities were all over. Looks a ton more comfortable and lighter to me!!


Kelly ... Bruce,
It had been an immense pleasure getting to know you both. I know you'll continue to lean on eachother and take on life as an adventure. Don't ever stop being so courageous. Good luck in everything that you do!!
Much love,
K!

Allison & Brandon *Engagement http://www.kristendawnblog.com/index.cfm?postID=62 http://www.kristendawnblog.com/index.cfm?postID=62 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT Everything starts with a simple beginning, question or idea but really, the outcome depends on what kind of a person you are.
Allison ... Brandon are simple but together they are extraordinary.
We spent a simple Sunday exploring what they call home. Onset harbor couldn't have been a better backdrop for our photo-shoot.





The beautiful Allison...




I really love Brandon's little grin in this next one



a little stretchy fish-eye view


Yup, my clients climb mountains. Okay, it's a giant rock, but still. AWESOME!


Allison ... Brandon,
Thank you soooo much for spending your Sunday evening with me!! I hope you love your photos, I had a blast and can not wait for your wedding. That seems like such a long time away so keep in touch until then!! xo
Much love,
K!

Kelly & Bruce *Engagement http://www.kristendawnblog.com/index.cfm?postID=59 http://www.kristendawnblog.com/index.cfm?postID=59 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT Bruce would be home soon. He was in Iraq, for her, for me, for you, for our country... but he would be home, soon. Kelly and Bruce had a quickie ceremony before he had deployed but in November they will really get to celebrate their love. I'm 130% looking forward to their wedding because I just KNOW it'll be awesome.

I had the immense pleasure of meeting Kelly's other half up @ The Nobska Lighthouse for their e-shoot. Not only did I get to meet Bruce, but I got to meet the real Kelly. She was complete, Bruce was complete and together... they're completely in love.






I wonder what they wished for...



Kelly, thank you for being so fabulous.






Kelly ... Bruce,
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for making my job so easy. I feel like I say it all the time but it's people like the two of you that make me love my job. Your love is remarkable and I can't wait to be a part of your (second) big day!!

Much love,
K!

Caitlin & Sean *Wedding http://www.kristendawnblog.com/index.cfm?postID=63 http://www.kristendawnblog.com/index.cfm?postID=63 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT Caitlin ... Sean wed in the backyard of the family's property on a magnificent summer's day. The weather had been a little overcast and threatening but a prayer was said and the clouds, for a reason, decided to make peace with the sky for the rest of the afternoon.




The beautiful Caitlin...


Just so everyone knows, Caitlin MADE her veil. Veil was made and dress was picked out last season, "BEFOOOORE it was trendy." Caitlin emphasized to me on her wedding day. Faaaaabulous.


A quick prayer before the ceremony blessed the sky with no clouds!!








Showing off some hard work details...


I loved all of Caitlin's partyin' ladies!!


Caitlin ... Sean,
I was so happy to have fallen into your laps!! Thank you for picking Jocelyn and I to capture your amazing wedding day. I hope the two of you share many, many, many more fireworks in the future and we wish you nothing but the best of luck in all of your worldly plans!!
Much love,
K!

Their guests had come from as far as Mexico to see these two beautiful families become a whole.




Alex had awesome groomsmen... ready to lend a hand!!


I lalaloved this next one. I think they were a little occupied :-)


As you can see the sky was a little dark, but these two worked it!!





Jocelyn caught this one. E...A had a very saucy first dance!!




Liz ... Alex,
People like the two of you make this world a better place. I know the future has amazing things in store for the both of you. I wish you nothing but the best.
