Okay, so I interrupt the wedding flashback series to post a current wedding!  Kirk and Krista got married on a brisk & sunny late february day and you will see from their park images why I love winter weddings so much!  The buttery warm early winter sunset is just dreamy!  I bet you can guess right away what the accent color is for Krista!

and Kirk gets a pop of red to match!



and off we go! LOVE the bold red lip color on all the ladies!


this has a story behind it that stems from Krista accidentally getting hit with this bat after the bachelor party… glad she is seeing the humor in it! HA!  This whole wedding party knows how to have fun, which makes my job more fun too!  I am not posting any incriminating photos on the blog, but I will say there is one member of the groomsmen who shall henceforth be known as “lips” bc of a strategically placed tattoo…



I have decided that Krista looks rather like a Disney princess…. the big eyes, high cheekbones and dramatic lip cleft… gorgeous!



winter sunlight… what did I tell ya?!






next stop: the always beautiful Coronado Ballroom… I grabbed a few shots of the lovely room set up before ceremony time!


stunning and dramatic floral work by Frankie and his team at Festive Atmospheres…more on the room to come…

but now… time to get married!





let the dancing begin!

thanks for being troopers in the cold and for letting me capture the fun!  with love, kate
