You see, the thing about Tamara is that she's intentional. There's many other ways to describe her, using such words as kind, thoughtful, beautiful, smart, the list goes on. But the one that sticks out in my head is simply intentional. From when she was little, she had an idea of what her wedding was going to look like. She planned it carefully, thoughtfully and intentionally. From the shape of her veil, to the location of her reception, the food served at the dinner, and the bubbles blown as she and her groom exited the church, every detail was thought of. Intentionally.
We met over a year ago and from the first moment, I knew I loved her! I loved her passion for life and for the story. Her story, and everyone's story. It'll come as no surprise to you that she is a journalist by trade. She captures the story, she tells it in her words and all of it is real. Intentional.
She wanted the same when it came to her story. Nothing must be faked, nothing exaggerated, nothing missed. The church where they got married in Cook's Creek had a story, and The Legislative grounds where we took their pictures also had a story: it's where she and Colin met. How cool is that.
Tamara, you're a dream bride to work with and you have found in Colin a wonderful man that loves you and GETS IT!
Enough chit chat. Here's some images. Brace yourself. It's my longest post yet!
Rings on a bowl:
I just love Tamara & Colin's home:
Ok, I walked into this church and almost fell over when I saw the chandelier! You know how I feel about chandeliers! Aren't you just in love with this shot right now??
Bubblelicious!
Helloooo!
Crazy fun wedding party:
Here's your tunnel shots Tamara! I have to thank you for letting me get creative here!
Tamara has been dancing in a Ukrainian Dance Group FOREVER! And they were hired to perform at her wedding - I was lucky enough to just be there! I took a million pictures and if you were a dancer here and you would like some of these images, just leave me a comment below and I'll get them to you!
Seriously?
Ok, I can't even do this sitting on the floor, never mind high up in the air!
Now that's just showing off! ;)
Thank you thank you thank you. Colin, you're a wonderful man (and may I add that you clean up nicely!) and Tamara, you're someone that I know will be a long time friend!
All the best in your life together. Here's a flaring parting shot:
