Was it because of how completely, unstoppably happy Janet was on her wedding day? Or because of the carefree effortlessness with which she twirled on the dance floor during the first dance? Or because of the beautiful father-of-the-bride toast where he called Janet's mom the love of his life? Or because of the sweet, love-struck way that Tyler looked at Janet when she gave their last speech of the night?
Maybe it was a combination of all those things, and a million more. But it was such a remarkable experience to photograph this wedding! I feel so honored to have been able to share this day with you.
Special thank you goes to Sasha of Sasha Photography for second-shooting and doing a fantastic job.
And now, on to the photos from Janet & Tyler's magical day:

In the shot below, Janet, all done and looking fabulous, is taking a picture of herself, with her phone, to send to those who couldn't be there with her on her wedding day.

Stopping traffic, of course, as she crossed the street.

I was so happy that Janet and Tyler opted to have a First Look. This gave us a chance to have (the bulk of) our bridal session before the ceremony out in the gorgeous Mountain Winery vineyards.

Having the extra time during the first-look allowed us to play around and create these two playful composites.

Janet moves SOOOO well! What a treat!

While the bride and groom took a few minutes to rest before the family session and the Ketubah signing, I took the opportunity to photograph a few of the details, like Janet's super-cute shoes and her stunningly elegant dress.
