All in Travel
A few flights later, and I was in Boise, Idaho. A beautiful city surrounded by ranges and mountains that make the whole area quite stunning. Michael and I grew up together in Missouri and I am so happy for him and his new bride, Grace! Thank you for allowing me to capture and to be a part of your joyful day! - Jon
This sweet couple. It really was an honor to shoot this wedding for Chad and Bailey. I could tell from the moment I met them and their families that they have a very special bond. Not often (or ever) have I seen the Maid of Honor be a sibling to the groom, and the Best Man a sibling to the bride!
Have you ever gotten DOUSED in LAVENDER? Like down your clothes, and embedded in your hair? Yeah, me neither. But that should give you an idea of how excited David and Mandie’s friends and family were to send them off to their honeymoon after their wedding! Be sure to stay to the end of the post to see what I mean!
With around 500-600 guests in attendance to celebrate their union, their wedding was nothing short of meaningful, emotional, and pure joy.
Since the full wedding episode aired on TLC, we are now free to share some images! We've received a lot of questions regarding this wedding, so we've added in a FAQ section with photos interspersed!
THIS WEDDING! We're so excited to share some of our favorites with you all from Brinkley and Brittany's first day of marriage! It's a good one!
The steep cliffs, thundering waves, powerful wind, and blinding sun created a view that felt like a scene from a different country. And yet, we were in California, exploring Highway 1. I've always wanted to see a coast bordered by cliffs and massive rocks scattered on the shoreline. This was the highlight to our trip. If you don't read this full post, you're going to want to scroll to the bottom to see the drone footage of the California landscape. Most amazing footage Jon has taken!
Where on earth do we start?! Andy and Chiree. You guys. We can't thank you enough for choosing us to document your wedding day through photography.
***Long post ahead with an abundance of photos***
Milky Way sightings up ahead!
This was the first time I (Jennifer) ever saw so many stars. To see the Milky Way was somewhat unreal. When your eyes are beginning to adjust, it seems as if there's some kind of foggy stripe going across the sky. After looking more intently, you can begin to see individual stars. AMAZING.
We have a new personal rule: We are not allowed to travel to beautiful places without booking a photo shoot. Next time, we'll let people know our travel dates! Jon captured some KILLER landscape photos (this post is just part 1), and we'd love to meet new people and photograph them in places like these.
Colorado is such a beautiful frontier! We LOVED exploring Colorado together! My birthday is at the end of October, and Jon had been mentioning that he wanted to take me on a trip for my birthday. Like any traveler-adventurer-explorer-the-best-deal-finder-husband, Jon found incredible prices on Frontier flights to Colorado for $85 (round trip, direct flight). YES, PLEASE.
Here is the last post for our honeymoon series! We've been married for almost 5 months now, so we're trying to remember everything from the last couple of days! These last two days were a little crazy [like staying at an air bnb, a snow storm, and no hotels available...more on this later...].
Charleston and our detours on the way were so pretty we just had to share out photos and tell about our first weekend trip as a married couple! First off, we highly recommend that newly married couples get away for a weekend. So refreshing and fun. And stay within your budget. We've included some tips on how we saved on costs, and we hope you find them helpful!
What did we do on Saturday? Thank goodness for photos, or else we might've forgotten!
Friday on our honeymoon! We expected this day to be a bit more leisurely as we planned a much easier hike than Cathedral Rock. This hike is about 20 minutes or so outside of Sedona, Arizona. Driving on 89A [goes from Flagstaff to Sedona], you'll be sure to see some spectacular views. Big cliffs, red rocks, monstrous trees, curving roads, cacti, and running water paint such a beautiful part of Arizona.
Wednesday.
We got up early, packed a lunch, and hit the road to visit the Grand Canyon! From Sedona, we drove through Flagstaff [which is about halfway]. We stopped off in a couples stores looking for a down jacket for Jennifer since it was pretty chilly and windy. We finally found one of clearance at an outdoor store!
For the last hour of driving, we drove through a lot of Indian reservations.
