chainey and stephen wed

i just broke several records with this post.

1) it's the fastest i've gotten a wedding post up (or edited!)

2) it's my longest post

3) it's such a beautiful post :c)

this post is for chainey and stephen. their wedding was last saturday at tres suenos winery (i might need to add here that i looked at this location for my wedding, and fell in love with it. but my husband-to-be vetoed it (my first lesson in marital compromise..). so i was thrilled to get to shoot here!) saying that, i shot a lot.. and want to share a lot :c) it was beautiful weather, a stunning location, and an amazing couple. i'll tell you more about them as we go..

chainey's hairstylists were some friends from schardein and co.

some details of chainey's gorgeous dress

the full view

her jewelry

her flowers
into the dress

ready to be married! with proud mom in the background. i love both of their smiles

this is caleb, creel's son. you'll see him later in this post

stephen and chainey are very family centered. they chose to have stephen's daughter and son be the only members of the wedding party. here's his son coming down the isle

this is creel, leader of our photo life group from which i meet chainey and stephen. creel got his certification specifically to marry these two. very sweet

stephen's son face as his dad approached

stephen's joy

hehe, i just liked this :c)

what a beautiful flower girl

stephen's daugher and the sand ceremony table

i love seeing the brides smile as she approaches her soon-to-be husband

the sand ceremony was pretty, with the whole family and creel participating

creel's wife, heather, did the decorations, and did a fabulous job

ha! check out the faces of creel and stephen's son as chainey reads the loooooong list of virtues that she sees in stephen...

and here's chainey's face when stephen breaks into a rap during his vows (note stephen's arm out in rap-like stance.. oh yeah)

and what is a flower girl to do when dressed in white in the great outdoors? well play in the dirt, of course..

chainey loves nature and trees (so you can see why we both fell in love with this place)

my favorite exit yet. a new family :c)

chainey makes one stellar bride

the wedding party and new family

they are just a little excited!

okay, so you might get tired of seeing chainey, but she's just too beautiful!

the beautiful bouquet

the dashing stephen

i love real emotion

i really like this one as well

i love vineyards

their first dance
