Stephanie was lovely. Logan was beautiful. The Temple was extraordinary.
I love photographing weddings. It is an honor to be involved so intimately with a bride and groom on this most precious day. I invite myself to all of the events. I nudge my way into the brides dressing room and I get to know the names and smiles of all of the bridesmaids. It is like my sister or my best friend is getting married, but my only job is to photograph.
I love that I have the excuse to stare at people and examine in detail what is happening. I get to witness the tender moments between the bride and groom in their first few hours of marriage. I love that they trust me with thier memories.
This is the first wedding that I’ve shot since my own wedding and it made me miss my Mr. awesome much. It also made me a little jealous of Stephanie and Brian. My wedding was miraculous and it went be all too quickly. It is now like a sweet dream that I try to recall in detail, but can only remember the lingering sugar on my tongue. I remember my wedding day like I do my childhood: faded bits of moments puncuated by vivid sparks of images. These images are of course, the moments that my photographer captured.
How lucky I feel to be able to use my camera as a butterlfy net to capture those vivid sparks for Stephanie and Brian. You can see more of their wedding day at my Stephanie & Brian set on flickr.
much love all,
elle

You did an awesome job like you always do. I know how you feel though about your wedding. At least you still have pictures of yours mine accidentally was left in my Buick when I got in my wreck and they totaled it out. So we don’t have any left now
. I am trying to figure out how to get some I am hoping Damian’s mom and dad have some around their place somewhere. Anyway, you do an awesome job with capturing people in pictures Laura.
I’m SO glad you shared these!!! I wanted to be at Steph’s reception up here so bad and was so bummed not to make it because I had sick little ones.
Gorgeous job on the photos, I can just hear Steph’s laugh and feel the happiness that must have been radiating from her as I look through these.
That one second to last is my absolute fav!
Oh, and btw, I’ve thought the same as I look at pic’s of your little Mr. Jack, he and Braden really do have very similar features!
