Bernadette and Haydn saw each other before the ceremony so that we could spend more time on pictures. Here’s the “first look”:

The first hug (I love it when a candid moment looks too perfect not to be posed!):

This bridal party shot was Bernadette’s fantastic idea…although I think as we struggled to get people arranged around the waterfall she might have regretted it (or would have liked to at least be able to blame it on me). ;)

Hottest bridal party ever? I think so!

I love panoramic bridal party shots…

The boys did some sweet jumps for me. (And no one ended up in the hospital. Or fell down a hill. Well, except for me, but that was a totally different hill, and I can’t sue myself.)

A candid shot from the formals that I adore. (Kendra, you are so cute!)

Bernadette was such a radiant bride. I love how happy she looks here!

Nic always nails the architecture shots!

Bernadette totally rocking her America’s Top Model moment!

Okay…here’s the deal. The lighting during the portrait session kinda sucked unless we ran for shade. BUT, there is always a silver lining, and the silver lining this time was gorgeous Golden Hour light during the reception. Knowing how important the photos were to Bernadette and Haydn, we pulled them away for my favorite shots of the night.

Bernadette’s reception hair accessory was so pretty!

The last shot before we run out of light is always the most dramatic!

Thanks again, Bernadette and Haydn, for running into the sunset with us! ;)
