Yesterday lived up to all the hype. Katelyn had told me that it was going to be awesomeness at the family ranch. She said that she was doing a lot of the planning, and that her whole family was pitching in to help. I was told of handmade invitations, logos, decorations, a ceremony on a oak-studded hillside, and a reception in an old wood barn. All of it came true...and then some. Strap in, there's a lot of photos in this sneak peek. The day started off with preparations in the ranch house. With the exception of a little more wind than we needed, the day's weather was perfect. Katelyn thought of this cool idea to put up family photos on the barn wall, including the photos of her family's weddings. And, the little flower girl got in a well-needed nap before the day really got going. I made such good friends with the kids at the wedding, that they were literally crawling up the walls to hang out with me. Ba ha ha ha. Katelyn's bouquet had memory photos of her friends and family who have passed away...it was absolutely special. Katelyn and Daniel see each other for the first time (and check out Daniel's mom with her big smile, too!). We got them together before the ceremony for some photos at the barn. =) Grandma and Katelyn share a super tight bond. Love their looks here. This smile and excitement was typical of the day. And, for one of the best entrances I've seen...a 1914 Ford drove them to the ceremony (thanks Bill!) And, in a completely unposed moment while I was getting a fix on the light, check out this adorable moment. I love seeing newlyweds check out their new bling on each other. The party at the barn was spectacular-icious. Katelyn's grandparents have been married for 57 years. Which means in the year 2065, Katelyn and Daniel will have been married just as long. Take that in. 2065. wow. And...in a special mention. The flowers at this wedding were incredible. The Flower Lady in Paso Robles did the flower arrangements and bouquets. She's done several of the last few weddings that I've shot, and each time I am blown away by the creativity and beauty. So, we're giving the flowers their own special little section today.
