Jay and Kelley's Wedding November 17th, 2007

Here are a few pictures from the engagement session with Jay and Kelley, taken on a chilly fall day in Seattle, WA.











Jay and Kelley's wedding was held in Escondido, CA. However, they are from Washington State, like me!!! :) It was kind of funny how they found me to be their photographer, because they did a search in California and found me there because I currently live in San Diego, CA. But when they did the search and got in contact with me I was up in Washington. It worked out great because we were able to do their engagement session up in Washington and get to know each other a bit before the wedding.


While I truly love the process of the entire wedding day, I think one of my favorite times to photograph is the getting ready process. Capturing the details, the anticipation, and the range of emotions....the intimate moments are a huge part of why I love to do weddings!














































































































This was a special moment where Kelley's dad was able to see her for the first time, dressed now as the woman he will be giving away. Giving away the bride....

















































Jay and Kelley rented a fun old time car for their get away after the ceremony. It was such a great way to do their first toast and ride off to the reception for more celebrating.













































Kelley and the maid of honor giving me a post ceremony smile.


These are the beautiful ladies of the day....

The Men of the glorious event!



























A moment with grandma...these were very important photos for Jay and Kelley to get.



















































































































The first dance.....


And the real celebrating starts!! Fortunately the DJ was great and helped facilitate a good time for everyone!

































It's a party!! Everyone was having a great time.

Hi Maija,
It's been a while since I've talked to you but I can't wait to see the others from Jay and Kelley's wedding. I tried to catch you that night toward the end but missed you and so this is about the only way I could catch-up. I have a few shots on my blog that you may've seen (xanga.com/originart) with even some of you in action and the shots you took of us with my camera (love them!) that I'd be glad to share with you if you're interested.

I hope it's going well and hope to hear from you soon.
