Mr & Mrs Owen

Saturday August 16th I photographed Rob & Juliet. Juliet is a very mild mannered young lady & incredibly elegant. Rob is mild mannered as well, and super attentive to Juliet. Not being mild mannered myself, it was nice just stepping back & watching the two quietly experience one another. It's awesome being a photographer, especially a wedding photographer. I am welcomed to enter into someone else's world - just to watch & capture the chemistry. I myself have learned how to better relate to different personality types. Some times it's best to be silly to get a reaction, and some times it's best to barely be there... this was one of those days & it was touching.

Juliet had her hair & makeup down at a Salon in Garner, which was saturated in fabulous colors. Love that!
I snagged a cool shot of her artist. Peek a boo
Juliet was trying to decide which card to give Rob. She put a lot of thought into the words she wanted him to see right before they met one another at the altar.
Let's talk about how long that thing is that threads through her dress!! WOAH!
Amanda got his AMAZING stalker shot of Rob while he was getting ready
And Rob sent Juliet over a sweet gift & check out that sweetness on the note

To keep them entertained, the flower girls had a job & they were loving it
Being such a sentimental day, I watched Juliet's dad give her away. There's something about the father giving his daughter's hand over to her new husband.. oh my gosh. Having children myself, it's no wonder even tough fathers turn into mooshy daddies. This is the beginning of a whole new life.. you cry at happy occasions because you know there's a future ahead that you can barely grasp at the moment & the thought of it all fills you.
Every couple has little "things" about them - some times it's easy to see & some times it takes hours & hours to see them. Even though Rob & Juliet quietly absorb one another, they weren't guarded and their little "things" were cute to witness. I love how loosely they held one another's hands.
What?! How precious is this?! Aww man.. The look in her eyes just drips off!!
And then back to reality - Bring me the silly.
Ok.. The ring shot. Rob did not know that this was in a movie when he did it, but he proposed to her by taking this exact piece of ribbon (and yes - he had it in his tux pocket just for the ring shot!!), and sliding her ring down the ribbon onto her finger. The fact that he made it a point to bring that ribbon to the reception for this ring shot is almost as sweet as the proposal itself to me!!
That ring is out of control delicious.
And we end with that sweet daddy of hers.. Look at his eyes. It's that happy cry thing!! Oh geez.. between being there, posting this & it being my own anniversary this weekend - this sentimental stuff is getting to me!!
