Tara and Jordan's Wedding - July 11

The day started out with rolling thunderstorms and rain so heavy that visibility on the roads was practically zero...but I had faith that these boomers would pass through and that they did! The day ended up being a beautiful - and a perfect day for a wedding.

What can I say about Tara and Jordan? Tara is exuberant, joyful, silly, happy, caring, sensitive ... and gorgeous. Jordan is a true gentleman with a good soul and a warm heart. I had such a wonderful time capturing the moments of their day.

Their wedding had a vintage theme - Tara's hair and makeup were gorgeous. I can imagine this moment taking place back in the 40's.

Tara at the window - all dressed and ready to go downstairs...


Tara and Jordan decided to have their group pictures taken before the ceremony. This gave us a lot of time for some awesome captures that run the gamut from playful to artistic.

Tara sends the men to the doghouse...

The first set of group pictures were taken at Tara's mom's...a gorgeous seven-acre property...




All I can do when I see this picture is smile :-) I had Tara climb up on a small cement riser because I liked the background. When she got up there, she started goofing around and kept everyone laughing :-)


Gorgeous everything....


Since the theme of this wedding had a vintage flair, I brought my old Agfa Captain camera as a prop for this picture...

Ostrich feathers are way cool...so are their rings...

Tara made the bouquets herself and they were beautiful!

Some bridal party hijinx...

Just before the ceremony....

At this point, Jordan tells me that Tara had her turned up toward the sky because she was trying not to cry. He had his face turned up...looking at the clouds and willing it not to rain...

Tara lost her battle to contain her tears...

They practiced this dip for their kiss....and it was perfecto!

The last dance of the night - they donned Micky Mouse bride and groom head attire - this thrilled the guests - as they danced to "Young at Heart" by Frank Sinatra. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
