Kristen + Jeff | Wedding | By Michelle

Everything about this wedding makes me giddy with excitement.  I knew last October when I shot their engagement session that this wedding would be right up my alley. You can check her E- Session here www.hindheart.com/2013/11/07/kristen-and-jeff-e-session/ and I were on the same page with so many things. I guess you could say we are girly girls.  My vision being soft, pretty and romantic and I knew from many chats with Kristen that she wanted the same.  I especially love when my brides include me in helping make decisions.  I have done my fair share of weddings and I kinda have good feel for what works well and what doesn’t,  So when I get asked about colour choices and get a preview of my brides gown( isn’t Kristen’s gown amazing) I know for sure Its going to be a big win.  This day did not disappoint from the the moment I walked in and saw all of her stunning bridesmaids in the prettiest floral robes.  I have to say Lakyn and I ( my youngest daughter who has been assisting all summer) may have went a little wild on our prep shots but I mean really can you blame us?

Now on to those guys I have never had so much fun or laughed so hard with a group of groomsmen as I did with this gang.  They were having so much fun cannon balling into the pool and chilling in the hot tub that I wasn’t sure they were going to start getting dressed.  They dried up and spiffed up in no time, the laughs continued the whole day long.  Jeff I can see you have some amazing buddies who really know how to have a good time.  I near peed my pants when they hauled down their pants to show off their snazzy groomsmen underwear.  Thanks guys for keeping the day so lighthearted.

Not only were Kristen and Jeff and the bridal party amazing but they have the sweetest families too.  I mean I wasn’t in Kristen’s back door right and was offered a breakfast fit for a queen.  So of course I had to have a small sample.  I knew the whole day there was nothing but pure love surrounding this couple from their friends to their families.  I have to say I have never had such a beautiful reaction to a mom and dad seeing their daughter for the first time in her gown as the one I experienced with Tana and  Digger’s.  It sure was a priceless moment and the love you have for your little girl shone thru all day.  Thank you for making myself and Lakyn feel like such an important part of Kristen and Jeff”s day, I know we were there to do a job but when you get the feeling from your bride/groom and families that you are genuinely appreciated it certainly creates a different connection.  The entire day from start to finish went off with out a hitch and I am beyond pleased with the outcome.  So I will forewarn you that this is a pretty lengthy post.  I had a hard time blogging for this one, there were too many darn shots to choose from.  Kristen and Jeff I can’t thank you enough for trusting me with you memories.   All the best to you both and I can’t  wait til I hear baby news in the future.  So here is Kristen and Jeff’s beautiful wedding story.storyboard002storyboard001storyboard003storyboard004storyboard005storyboard006storyboard007storyboard008storyboard009storyboard010storyboard011storyboard012storyboard013storyboard014storyboard015storyboard016storyboard017storyboard018storyboard019storyboard020storyboard022storyboard021storyboard023storyboard025storyboard024storyboard026storyboard028storyboard029storyboard027storyboard030storyboard031storyboard032storyboard033storyboard034storyboard035storyboard036storyboard037storyboard038storyboard039storyboard040storyboard041storyboard042storyboard043storyboard044storyboard045storyboard046storyboard047storyboard048storyboard049storyboard050storyboard052storyboard053storyboard054storyboard055storyboard056storyboard057storyboard060storyboard061storyboard059storyboard062storyboard068storyboard069storyboard070storyboard071storyboard077storyboard072storyboard073storyboard074storyboard076storyboard078storyboard080storyboard081storyboard082storyboard083storyboard084storyboard085storyboard086storyboard087storyboard088storyboard089storyboard090storyboard091storyboard092storyboard093storyboard094storyboard096storyboard097storyboard098storyboard099storyboard100storyboard101storyboard102storyboard103storyboard104storyboard105storyboard106storyboard107storyboard108storyboard109storyboard110storyboard111storyboard112storyboard113storyboard114storyboard115storyboard117storyboard119storyboard120storyboard121storyboard122storyboard123storyboard127storyboard128storyboard129storyboard130storyboard131storyboard132storyboard133storyboard134storyboard135storyboard136storyboard137storyboard138storyboard139storyboard140storyboard141storyboard142storyboard144storyboard147storyboard148storyboard149storyboard150storyboard151storyboard152storyboard154storyboard155storyboard145storyboard146storyboard156storyboard158storyboard159storyboard160storyboard161storyboard162storyboard163storyboard164storyboard165
