sarah & josh (salida wedding photography)

Sarah & Josh are two of the sweetest, most down-to-earth people out there.  I loved shooting their engagement session, and I knew then that I was going to love shooting their wedding, too.  They got married at the Salida Steamplant, continually one of my favorite venues, and we had such an amazing time. Sarah & Josh - thank you SO much for having me be a part of your wedding.  It was truly, truly an honor :)

I'm SO glad they decided to do a First Look!  It gave us a ton of time to work together, and most importantly, gave Sarah & Josh a chance to relax and spend some time alone together before the ceremony began :)

I've always loved this street view... and I love being from a small town!  The name of this mountain is actually "S Mountain".  Yep.

Aww... poor flower girl did NOT want to go down the aisle.

After the ceremony, the guests all made wishes, and threw rocks into the river.  Such an awesome idea!

Congratulations and much love to you both!

What began as love between a handsome bearded fisherman and a Katrina-refugee artist developed into this fabulous eclectic wedding and will continue on to a beautiful marriage as Lindsay & Aaron begin their life together.  Seersucker suits.  Louboutins.  Cruiser bikes.  Pedicabs.  Balloons. Two amazing dresses, paired with two amazing veils.  Live jazz band.  One amazing historic art deco home.  I loved absolutely EVERYTHING about this wedding!  I know a lot of you have been anxious to see the results of this fabulous day - enjoy your preview!  The rest of your images will be ready soon :)

Lindsay, you are absolutely radiant!

Lindsay looked especially lovely, thanks to my dear friend Peter at Mr. Beauty.  Oh, how I love working with Peter!

Lindsay & Aaron's families stayed at the Heister House in Salida - this totally amazing art deco home that's available for rent (and listed on the National Register of Historic Places!)  I love love LOVED shooting there.  And how crazy amazing is this gigantic bow veil?  I could have NEVER pulled it off - which is what makes me love Lindsay even more - she totally can :)  This girl has some serious style, in ways that I can only dream about.  Both veils were custom made by Sara Gabriel.

Love the Heister House and love dress #1 from J Crew!

One of the wonderful things about Salida is how most things are within walking and biking distance.  Since the ceremony at First United Methodist is only a few blocks away from the reception at the Salida Steamplant, most of the guests rode their cruisers, and Lindsay and Aaron took a pedicab :)

Guestbook?  Nah.  A signed paddle is way cooler :)

Dress #2 : A custom tea-length creation by the utterly fabulous Stephanie James.   I really cannot begin to explain how much I love the blue tulle.  I'm tempted to try, but my love for this dress is totally beyond words.

We had perfect lighting.  Perfect.

At one point during the reception, I overheard Lindsay & a guest talking about me.  Lindsay referred to me as " this awesome indie photographer".  This totally delighted me.

I always love shooting at the Salida Steamplant! What an excellent venue.

Unsuspecting dude catching the bouquet = do-over.

Lindsay & Aaron - you guys are wonderful!  I absolutely loved your wedding and I was thrilled to be a part of your festivities :)
