Wedding: Ethan & Laura

I just did a wedding shoot for a young couple from church. They both went to school for dairy farming, so they wanted a simple, country wedding. A call was put out to the groom's small community, and many friends and neighbors contributed beautiful flowers from their own gardens for the wedding and reception. Everything looked wonderful and had the fresh, beautiful scent of nature's bloom!





The groom's mother prepared small bouquets to adorn the ends of the church pews.









The wedding rings were forged by the groom's aunt, herself a goldsmith; made from his father's broken wedding band.



A glass commemorating the occasion was given to each guest attending the reception; the antique, glass milk bottles once belonged to the groom's great-grandfather.









The church's neighbor was kind enough to allow us the use of his barn as a backdrop.



The groom's mother loves taking photos and had many wonderful suggestions regarding both location and pose; such as this field with mountains along the horizon as well as having the bride hold out her skirt. It made my job easier. :)
