Oh wow – it was absolute torture having to pick out our “favorites” from Holly and Dave’s wedding this past Saturday! Holly and Dave are just such a great couple and we had been looking forward to their wedding for a long time! It’s always super exciting for us when a couple comes to us and says, “Do whatever you want with us – we trust you!” And that’s exactly what Holly and Dave did. As for the results…well, I’ll just let you all see for yourselves…
This is one of my favorites of Holly before the ceremony. She is just stunning and I couldn’t wait to get some images of her by herself. While we were at the house getting ready, I noticed this adorable little shed in the back yard and Holly didn’t even think twice about following me back there in her beautiful dress!

And here’s a little detail shot from the wedding. These earrings were Holly’s gift to all of the girls in the wedding party. They were absolutely gorgeous (as were the girls!):

And now for our favorite part of the day! Holly and Dave set aside a lot of time for photos of just the two of them alone and we were able to get SO many amazing images. They are such a gorgeous couple and so happy and FUN to be around that we really just couldn’t get enough images of them.
For this photo, we went outside just as the sun was sinking below the horizon…

I think that generally speaking, grooms are often not photographed as much at a wedding. Which is something I completely don’t understand. But Rene loves to be able to spend some time before the ceremony with the guys and get some great candids of them. And portraits of the groom are usually one of our favorite parts of the day, too. Dave was definitely incredible in front of the camera and I hope we didn’t wear him out getting all kinds of fun photos of him! Here’s one of my favorite photos – and a more dramatic one – of the handsome groom…

And a few more of the Holly and Dave together…

And I love this image from Rene showing off some of the sparkle on Holly (look at that ring!!):

And finally this one is probably one of my favorite images from the day! We were getting a few photos of Holly and Dave and anyone who has been in front of the camera knows that when you’ve been in a position for too long, sometimes you just need to “shake it off”. Well, we were doing a more serious, romantic shot and Holly just needed to laugh so bad. So as soon as she heard the shutter click on Rene’s camera, she just let that laugh come out. This has to be one of the most geniune, elated expressions I’ve seen – I love it!

Now here’s an interesting fact… With the exception of the first three images, all of the other photos that we’ve posted here were taken in a room that measures about 15′x15′. We just didn’t find the need to go roaming everywhere because we had everything we needed in that one little room. So never fear if you think there’s no where “special” to take photos of just the two of you! As a matter of fact, the majority of the images in the gallery in our studio were taken in alleys, in dark stairwells and other locations that you just may not think of as being “ideal.” But sometimes that’s exactly what we look for just so we can create something unique for you!
As for Holly and Dave…they are away on their honeymoon and hopefully not even thinking about any of us back home. We hope you guys are having a fantastic time and can’t wait to show you more when you get home!
