This was a fun one.
When I was sorting through the photos from this wedding, the thing that jumped out at me was the sheer joy and delight that both Kristin and Nik had on their faces the entire day. Pretty much all brides and grooms are happy, but there was a radiance about these two that had me smiling fondly behind my lens all day.
The ceremony took place at Redeemer Lutheran Church followed by a purple inspired reception at the Women’s Federation Mansion. Dancing, thoughtful toasts, candy and late night donuts filled the late night hours.
Kristin and Nik are currently in Maui for their honeymoon so they left to a shower of leis, which made for amazing photos and lots of laughing.
Big thanks to Tali as usual for second shooting and also to Barbara Hearne and her team at Barbara’s Brides for keeping the day flowing beautifully.
Thank you Kristin and Nik for allowing me to be a part of your lives these past months. I have loved getting to know you both and wish you so much happiness.
Also, I am starting something new. When I sort through the photos to choose the blog images, I tend to choose waaaay too many to fit in a blog post. So starting now, I’m going to be posting an extended gallery on the Facebook page. Feel free to tag away, leave comments for Kristin and Nik and share it.

The visual images that you have captured, by way of black and white and color, of Nik and Kristin’s wedding and reception, have far surpassed the typical norm of most photographers for these type of events! All of the photos that we have viewed are superb in every detail, which is a true reflection of your sophisticated expertise in photography. And I am not being biased or partial just because I am Nik’s father. Each and every image portrays a distinct crispness and sharpness; each a precious moment frozen in time for all to enjoy for generations to come. Totally awesome! Glenda and I, as Nik’s parents (and Kristin’s in-laws), cannot thank you enough for your contributions in making their wedding totally successful!
Thank you so much for your kind words Ted! I loved getting to meet your wonderful family! So excited that you are pleased with the photos! I was honored to be part of the celebration.
