This past Saturday I had the honor of photographing Krista & Kelby’s wedding. This is a really looong post as I just couldn’t narrow it down to a manageable amount and I don’t believe in sneak peeks or splitting up posts. So here you go!

We started the day at the Sheraton downtown where Krista & Kelby got ready:

Then we headed to The Bentley Projects where their ceremony and reception took place. We stopped along the way for some fun portraits.

The Bentley Projects was such a fun space to shoot in. I loved it!

These centerpieces were so unique and a I felt they were the  perfect balance of romantic and industrial which complimented the space perfectly. Barb Hanson was their florist – sorry no website.

This has got to be my all time favorite cake shot. The art behind it is just perfect. And their cake topper is from Krista’s grandparent’s wedding. And it tasted absolutely incredible! And they even served it with chocolate dipped strawberries. Let’s just make it my favorite cake ever. Period.

I just read on Fleur de Lis‘ website that they have complimentary cake tasting Wednesdays and Thursdays. I might become a regular.

Krista had me tearing up the entire ceremony…

Some more reception details… How great is that door with their seating chart!

Not very many couples have awesome art behind them as they dance for the first time as husband and wife:

In case you were wondering, Kelby was nice, Krista was not. Cristi is being nice and not posting Kelby’s cake face picture.

Krista had an impromptu father-daughter dance and I am so glad she did. It was very touching.

Krista was the epitome of the perfect bride; she was overtaken with joy and cried good tears, during portraits she never once worried about her dress getting dirty, she just focused on Kelby and their love for each other the entire time, and then she celebrated their perfect day with their amazing family and friends.

It was an awesome party! And I do have to mention that I have worked with some great DJ’s in the past but I have to be fair and say that Jeremy from Ray the DJ was absolutely incredible and so great to work with. Thanks for being so great and making my job so much easier and enjoyable. I really appreciate it, Jeremy!

And to end, something a little different that I kinda fell in love with :
