mr & mrs edmonds!

the boys did a lot of chilaxin.

i told staci a lot that day, “thanks for being so HOT!”

his best man, Tollsman, offered comic relief during every part of the day. :)

gorgeous.

last touch before she was ready to see dave!

right about then, was when we heard thunder rolling in… :(

thankfully the rainclouds provided some softer light because everywhere was fully lit! eeek!

you belong in a magazine, girl!!

i have no idea what was going on here, but it’s hilarious, and i love it.

i like your scruff. it totally takes your hotness factor up 2 pts.

it started raining. we all ran inside, stared out the window and watched the radar on our phones. the ceremony was outside and only 40 min away.

it stopped long enough for a bunch of us to flip water off the chairs, dry them off, take a few more family pics and BAM! it poured again. boooo. thankfully

staci’s attitude was perfect in that, “we couldn’t have asked for anything else to go more perfect. everything leading up to this point was better

than imaginable, if we have to move the ceremony in…oh well!” you go girl!!

so thankfully, nathaniel green lodge’s coordinator, allison, busted her ass and got the inside ready in no time!

the first few minutes, they both had to regain composure. SO CUTE!!

it stopped raining and we had some down time, soooo what else would we do??? take MORE pics! duh!!

you two are so dang good looking. you both are perfect.

:)

what’s the first thing every girl does the second the ceremony is over? take those horribly high, blistering, uncomfortable shoes off!!

i’m sure a stroll on the cold, wet concrete felt so good.

michael was having a really good time entertaining everyone from the head table as people ate. what a goof!

let the party begin!!!

“from the windooooooows to the walls…”

if you know blevins, then YOU KNOW, this is one of his favorite songs.

get it giiiirl!

as suspected, this wedding was tons of fun.  i think my favorite part about the day was looking at all the crazy cool body art, hair color/cuts and piercings. i felt all

kinds of left out with my blank canvas of a body. it was so fascinating to see, especially the ear gauging! as an artist, my look is quite boring is suppose. :(

thanks for including us in your exciting day. we were so tired leaving that i was actually able to convince adam to let nori spend her first night out!!!! :)

it was nice to sleep past 9, i’m not going to lie! heart, melanie and adam

‘brideface’ always does a fabulous job!

billy lookin’ all handsome. ;)

Karin bought billy a couple beers from San Francisco (where he proposed) and some engraved glasses.  She even brought a

cooler and ice so they’d be cold for him to drink. How thoughtful?!

he was about to see his bride for the first time!

Their kids met us at the park! :)   great Thank You card, huh?

Upon arrival at the salon, I said to adam, “whelp, this is gonna be an easy day! Look at these girls!”

She wanted a wedding dress with pockets…for her chapstick. Haha. Karin, you’re awesome.

can you look any more perfect? it’s kind of disgusting. ;) he reminds me of an actor and it’s been driving me bonkers because i can’t figure it out! who is it!?!

Did you think of Alice in Wonderland? adam’s fav.

Billy wore Billy Balls! Aren’t those so cool? I wonder why they aren’t more popular??

Effortless beauty. It’s funny when skin looks so smooth and perfect, it’s generally assumed it was retouched. Nope. She’s just THAT pretty.

ditched the veil and added this killer necklace.

They released yellow balloons for their first exit. I carried them around for about an hour before they were ready for portraits. It wasn’t easy,

but it was worth it dang it!! Haha. i apoligize to all the guests who i knocked into walking around in tight quarters with my equipment and balloons. :)

my fav.

Karin’s mom is an art teacher.  She did a fantastic job with decorating. Just when I thought I’d seen it all…I’d find something else.  Even

floating candles in the little ponds throughout the garden that I didn’t even know existed!

awesome.

The Taft Art Museum had amazing food.  Though I’m getting better, I’m not a big fan of fruit and vegetables. I about licked my plate clean. YUUUUM.

dance with daddy.

Billy’s mama, aunt and grandma cuttin’ the rug.

The second exit, which ended with a carriage ride.  They thought of evvvverything!!

Not a detail was missed on this beautiful day.  Everything looked perfect, especially the bride.  I can’t tell you how many times we’d

take a picture and then say, “damn, you guys are HOT!!”  We could have taken portraits all day of these two! They are just

the sweetest people.  you’ll see them again for their ‘engagement session’ turned into an anniversary sesh bc of our packed schedule.

I’m super excited about it!  Thanks for making us feel so welcome! Congrats! Heart, melanie and adam.

ps. thanks for your patience friends, we’ve been ‘unhooked’ from everything all week/end at a lakehouse. just got home, and yes, it was fabulous!

mr. and mrs. haws!

her shoes matched her girl’s dresses perfectly. super cute.

you look beautiful, ladies!

dang girls. way to work those legs!!

matt lookin gooooood with his dudes. ;)

matt, you are a very lucky man!!

:)

the dress fit laura like a glove. they must sell dresses in the negative sizes bc there is no way that dress was even a size O!

a ringlet of hair fell perfectly when she looked down.  i showed her and said, ‘kelly is going to be so excited about that!” kelly is one of

the bridesmaids (tallest) and she did her hair.  doesn’t it look so cool?!

my favorite. this is the best part of  cathedral length veils.

little bit of sexy time.

so glad we got this picture BEFORE the jerk workin the parking garage came and yelled at us. literally he dropped the f-bomb and screamed at us to move.

cars were exiting fine, there was no reason to get hostile. and he was MAYBE 20yrs old at that. i’ve never had to hold adam back before and i did that day.

i’ve always pictured God as “light.” when i was suddenly blinded by it, i was pretty excited to capture it. awesome.

ha! remember baby ben?! he’s big! and almost two! both his parents, susan and mike, were in the wedding party.

wooohooo! they’re married!

i was outside The Grand taking ring shots. the guarding policeman was giving me dirty looks. finally he says, ‘you know, there are some

flowers around the corner that would be much prettier!” my response, ‘thanks, but this is perfect!” ha!

congrats laura and matt! we had a great time with you guys all day.  weddings like theirs, make me regret adding packages

that aren’t unlimited time.  by the time the party finally got started, we were already a hour plus over when we were supposed to leave!

it stunk. :-( it was fun seeing everyone, thanks for having us! heart, melanie and adam.

remember this? it worked!

emily is the art teacher at princeton high school, so she obviously designed the invites. we love when we receive invitations from our

b&g’s cause it’s so cool to see how awesome they turn out. especially when they are super creative!

my shot.

adam spent a little bit of time with us before meeting the guys…his shot.

you look so elegant.. even with the hair tie on your wrist. lol. :)

thanks for getting ready by the window :) a lot of people think it’s weird when i ask them to undress in front of an open window…

it’s so worth it…and you might even make your neighbors day! lol.

there is a story behind her ring and if it wasn’t 1am right now i’d call her to remind me. :) i think the setting matches her grandmas? something special like that.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

my directions to her were…”go sit on that bench and look sexy.” ummmmm you nailed it. :)

did adam ask you to look sexy for him too? i wouldn’t be surprised. lol

adam busted em watching :)

you guys are so natural. you’re amazing.

i love the colors. LOVE.

i’d like a little boom, with a side of sauce please :)

my fav

lil bit of karaoke in the limo.  adam took some video of it but i can’t remember the song, regardless it was priceless.

the rabbi actually performed a little ceremony before the actual wedding… she’s signing the ketubah. :)

later there was a priest, a rabbi… haha, not telling a joke. for real they brought both their religions together for the service! it was beautiful.

his speech was quite hilarious. i kept thinking to myself…nate is sooo going to get him back one day at his wedding!

em wore her mom’s veil…over 30 yrs old. how cool is that?

i’m not sure if nate’s mom was excited or terrified.  adam’s fav

well it was definitely the awesome wedding i hoped for! it was so much fun, especially seeing a bunch of familiar faces including some former brides!

thanks for the awesome party. i hope you enjoy your outrageously awesome honeymoon… 2 weeks is it?? first fiji, then australia?! seriously?

we. are. jealous. take tons of pics, can’t wait to hear all about it. you guys rock. Mazel Tov! heart, melanie and adam
