Very excited to share this wedding on the blog. I’ve been wanting to share it since the day I photographed it! There are a hundred and one reasons why I enjoyed this day. I couldn’t possibly name them all! So I’ll try to narrow it down to a couple reasons. Let’s start with the fact that my good pal Becky Novacek was the mother of the groom. So was I nervous photographing another photographer’s family wedding? Well let’s just say a little bit . . . I was more excited that Becky and I were going to photograph together for part of the day. Also, I was glad that I could document the day and allow her to sit back and relax and take it all in. When you’re photographing such an event you don’t always get to partake in the activities in the same way. It felt amazing to know Becky trusted me to capture such an occasion.
Alright, enough with the typing, you came to see some images! This first one was from the “first glance” series. I love the look on both of their faces despite the cold weather. Such great smiles!
Becky and I met for lunch earlier in the week and scouted out some great locations. I love that we share this passion for unique photo spots. We hit the jackpot. And I love that Beth and Jared were game for getting in the car and going with us. Thank you! 🙂
One of the hard parts about blogging this one was choosing which photos to share. There are just too many. I created a couple smaller collage photos to condense more photos together so this didn’t turn into the world’s longest blog post.
Here are some of the *many* beautiful details that were a part of this unique wedding day.
Beth and Jared had the great DJ ever, TeeRoy from Unique Pros. I’m lucky enough to have worked with TeeRoy twice this wedding season and I’m always happy to see him when I show up at the reception. Love this photo of Beth’s entrance into the reception! The music was rockin’!
I just had to share this next picture on the blog. Whenever the guests started clinking their drink glasses indicating a kiss from the couple Jared would choose a couple from the crowd. He would then ask them to demonstrate a kiss and he and Beth would kiss each other exactly the same way. What a perfect expression on their faces while watching Beth’s parents smooch!
Again, here’s a second collage of shots taken throughout the day. Wanted to make sure and post images from the parent’s dance. I always end up crying behind my camera at that point in the evening.
I’ll have to split this blog post up into two parts because I haven’t shared any images from the photobooth yet! Stay tuned. 🙂

We had TeeRoy at our wedding too 9 years ago and we LOVED him!! Never, ever thought a DJ could be that fun and really get “us” as a couple. Look at that gorgeous MOG and can I just say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the collage of wedding things…sigh. Such beauty.
WOW Cara…these are nothing short of amazing! I love your perspective!!! Truly stunning!
