There are certain people in the world that when you meet them you know instantly that they have a good soul. I’m not just talking about the kind of people who are “nice” or that you can have a “nice” conversation with. I’m talking about the kind of people you meet, and not that often, who genuinely have good souls. You know, with out a doubt, they are good to the very core of their being and that all they really want is to live a decent life and to enjoy the beauty that they have been blessed with and surrounded by.  I was so fortunate to meet two such people.

Alex & Klaus.

I will admit very early on, I was pretty excited to shoot this wedding.  It was the chance to work with Stacy at Bleu Print again which meant things were going to run smoothly and on time. Two of the most important things to a wedding photographer. I also knew that Stacy had helped Alex & Klaus line up some amazing vendors so the details were going to be nothing short of fabulous.

As important as all of that is…and let’s face it…it’s important. What I was even more excited about was the fact that Alex was choosing her vendors based on their passion and their vision and very much relying on her gut feelings when choosing these people.  I felt incredibly honored to be a part of it.

However, before we even got to the wedding part we had to shoot an engagement session. I’ve actually been holding off on blogging their e-session purposely because I’m using their photos as part of an entry I’m working on about the importance of the engagement session and how that makes such a huge difference in the comfort levels of everyone come the day of the wedding…..so you’ll actually see those after you see these.

After the engagement session I was completely jazzed about shooting the wedding.  They were amazing at the e-session and I knew we were going to have a great time at the wedding. And of course, I was right.

We had perfect weather, an amazing location at the Southwest School of Arts & Craft, the amazing Bleu Print team of Stacy & Jackie and of course Klaus & Alex had amazing friends & family to celebrate their big day with them.

Ok, so I’ll stop rambling now and just show you the darn pictures already. (no you didn’t say that out loud…i’m capable of reading minds)

Jana came along that day as my second shooter and as always she handed over some amazing shots. The one on the left below is hers and it’s one of my favorites from the day. All of the little flower girls and the jr. bridesmaid hanging out in the court yard before the ceremony. They were adorable.

Two more great shots from Jana of one of the flower girls.

Melissa with Botanika  nailed another knock out with the flowers. They were a-may-zing. 

Alex had her dress custom ordered from Julian Gold and here she is giddy immediately after the ceremony when Klaus commented on how incredible the dress is.  This is one of my favorite shots from the day.

Here are the favors that Stacy & her team helped design which were a hit with the guests and a shot of the beautiful cake by Cakes by Cathy which according to Stacy’s husband, Scott (pictured above kicking up his heels with Alex’s mom) it was the best cake he’s ever had in his life….which explains why he may have had a couple more pieces than the rest of the guests. j/k Scott!

I’m working on a serparate post for Alex & Klaus’ After Session at HemisFair Park. Another amazing session but far too many faves to include here. It definately warrents it’s own blog post.

Thanks again Alex & Klaus for including me in your amazing day. It’s not one I will soon forget!
