As we walked around I was some cute little families.  I can not wait to take my son there!  ;)  The Botanical Gardens are filled with lots of gazebos, swings and all things you would want to find in a garden.  We put some of those things to good use.

They also had burn buckets to help people keep warm.  We stopped to warm our hands more than once!  ;)  

And of corse, being a garden there had to be some flowers lit up too!  :)  

If you have not gone to the Winter Glow…GO!  It is awesome!  They have so many things to see.

Jillian and Colin~  Thanks for the awesome day!  I loved getting to know you two better and capturing a little part of your life.  I hope you Love the photos!  ;)

Then we went to play in the snow!

Jillian had given me some photo ideas that she liked, and this hear in the snow was one of them. I love it when my clients have an idea of what they want!  ;)  This turned out harder than we thought!  The First heart we made was too big, then the second hear we made was to small!  ;)  And I tried to climb an ice covered fence to get above them enough to get the heart, but I think we finally pulled it off!  :)

Colin is in the Air Force, so when we saw this spot, all of us knew it was perfect!

Then it was time for some sledding!  

And a pretty sunset!  

We almost had two sessions because the location change was pretty drastic, and we had some time we had to waste in between, so I am going to do two blogs!  Come back tomorrow for more of Jillian and Colin!  :)

Everywhere you looked there were orchids!

The second clue I was at a cool wedding was the awesome cake topper!  

The Third clue was the music…There was this cool man singing live music that was awesome!   Then the wedding began…and I was right!!!!  The Wedding was RAD, as was the couple!!!  

Jacki and Toby~  I wish you many years of happiness.  I know by the way you were looking at each other, that you bring joy to the others life!  :)  that is a great thing to have, and Im sure it will grow as your lives together grow also!  :)  Thanks for letting me be a part of your beautiful day!

I Started the day by meeting Liz and her mom and sister at the Grove hotel.  The girls had already gotten their hair done, but they had yet to dress.  I love pretty dresses in a window!  

Lis had this cool purse that she carried.  It was her Grandmothers, how cool is that!

After we were all ready to go, we headed to Kathyrn Albertson park, where the wedding took place.  Liz rode in a Limo from Diamond Limousine.  The Limo was awesome!  I went and got anthony, then he got liz out of the limo and got to see his Bride for the first time on their big day!!!

Liz was great at staying cool calm and collected!  She did not freak out about anything and stayed calm even when some lipstick got on her dress (which I quickly got off for her with a washcloth!) Even thought she was calm, I could tell as soon as she saw Anthony she was relaxed!  They fit together perfectly!  :)

When I had met with Liz’s mom before the ceramony, she told me about Liz’s grandpa.  He is geting old, and they asked to make sure I got some good photos of him.  As the lood little Boise wedding Photographer I am, I made sure to take some extra photos of Liz with her grandpa.  

The ceremony was beautiful, and was another great ceremony by Cody Stauffer, the best Idaho wedding Officiant!

At the end of the ceremony they released some butterflies!

After the ceremony we headed to the reception…but first we stopped to take a photo of Liz and Anthony next to the A and L of Kathryn Albertsons entrance.

The reception took place at the Bardenay and was decorated beautifully!

I personally liked the guestbook, designed by yours truly!

The cake was done by Peace of Cake and was gorgeous!

At the reception, we enjoyed some great food some laughs, some tears and some dancing…and I must say, this group of people knew how to party!  Check out this dancing collage I made! And they dances the night away!

Liz and Anthony~

I love you guys!  I am so honored to be a part of your wedding celebrations!  You did it!  The wedding was beautiful and the party was great!  Im excited to see your relationship grow and blossom even more than it has since I first met you.  I know you will have many years of happiness!  I hope you always look at each other with as much love an passion as you do now, and I hope Anthony never stops giving liz kisses on the forehead!  You guys rock!!!

I loved this wedding!!!  As a Boise wedding photographer, I have seen a few weddings in my time.  This one was different, and not just in a good way, but in a GREAT way.  The boys were looking good in the early morning light, and their awesome hats!  

Then the girls arrived…looking equally awesome in their aqua dresses.  The icing on the cake, however, was the brides dress!!!  GORGEOUS and UNIQUE!  It fit perfectly with the boys hats, and spoke volumes about the Bride and Groom.  

When you put the whole party together you had a pretty awesome group of individuals!  They looked great!

But Jenni and Steven were the stars of the show,,and rightly so!  I love to see my couples in Love…and there was now doubt about it…Steven and Jenni liked eachother!  :)

The wedding took place in Municipal park…which is a very popular park for joggers…who knew?  It was also a very popular park for squirrels.  This little guy started to make some friends during the ceremony.

The Ceremony was beautiful, and Cody, the wedding officiant was awesome.  

Jenni and Steven~

I know you will be happy for years to come!   I still cant believe you planned the whole thing form Texas!!!  :)  It is little moments that I love to see and capture that make me know you two are perfect for each other.  Moments like the toasts, and the way Steven looks at you and the way you both obviously care for one another.  This is what makes your wedding so beautiful, and will continue to make your marriage blessed!   Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day.  I loved getting to know you and getting to share in such a special occasion.  I will have the rest of your photos done soon!  Enjoy the preview!  ;)

Gail has two adorable girls, who were helping model the flowers while mom was getting ready!

The bride and groom opted to do a first look and take the family photos before the wedding.

Then after one of the shortest, sweetest, ceremonies known to man we also had some photos done of just the Newly husband and wife.

Then the party begun!  The DJ was great!  He was from Almost Famous Entertainment and I would recommend him for any wedding or office party!  ;)  The first dance was filled with emotion.

Then everyone started to dance!  I love this shot of mom and daughter!  :)

Just before we left we did some sunset photos.  They turned out great!  

Ryan and Gail~  Your wedding was beautiful!  I really enjoyed being a part of it.  You are a beautiful couple and an awesome family!  I hope you have many years of happiness.  Enjoy your sneak peek.  The rest of the photos will be ready in about a week!

Now for a little Best of review:

Who could forget the beauty and simplicity of the stolen moment of this kiss from Suzanne and Drew’s wedding:

I also really LOVED her bouquet

Then we had Elizabeth and David get married at the Hey Barn Event Center, this was a fun creative wedding!

I also love this photo because I feel like the girls look like magazine models!

Then we had Jayme and Robert get married at Christ’s Chapel.  I LOVED this church, perfect for a smaller wedding!

Sharissa and Jeff also had a great wedding, filled with dancing and fun! This is a page from their album I did for them.  It is a two page spread.

Good Bye 2009!  Hello 2010!  This Boise wedding photographer has had a lot of fun!  Im excited to see what Brides, grooms, and creative ideas we get to work with in 2010!

We decided to do a “urban” session.  We walked around Boise, and enjoyed all the town has to offer.  

They taught me something new…The Linen Building has a Sunday art market…you can guarantee I will be stopping by there on an upcoming Sunday!  :)  The Building is also decorated with some cool graffiti in the back!  

Want to know something crazy?!?  These two lovebirds use to live in Billings Montana, a place I have spent some time as well!  ;)

Anthony really wanted Liz to be serious and not smile…Liz Loves life, so this was a hard feat.  This is the best “not smiling” photo we got!  :)

My favorite photo…I love the passion that this shows, Anthony really likes Liz!  :)  Not only did I like this photos but so did the people driving by that were watching us!  ;)   

The wedding is not in Idaho, so you may not see this lovely couple again, but I defiantly would not mind photographing such easy subjects again!  I had a lot of fun with them!  ;)

The bride was more than a little excited to see her Groom as she was getting ready…

At first she was very calm, but as the day went on, and she got her dress on, she was just plain happy!  

The groom was pretty excited too!  

Sharissa and Jeff chose to do things the traditional way and not see each other before the ceremony. Here is Jeff’s first look at his soon to be wife…

And Sharissa’s first glance at him…

Of course when you have a wedding, it always helps me out when you have beautiful people to photograph!  :)  These girls were no exception.  And I might add they were pretty fun, and great dancers!  ;)

The boys were fun too, When I asked them their names, I thought they gave me fake ones!  They didn’t!  They are just that awesome!  One did tell me he was a model though, Im not sure if he was serious or not..can you guess which one?

Off to the reception!  

Here is another cake by the fabulous Heather, and I dont think I am the only one that thought it looked good!  :)

The first dance…

…and the rings!

I think they were just a little happy about being married!

Sharissa and Jeff~

I hope you guys keep the love and enthusiasm for each other for years to come.  Have fun in Disneyland!  The rest of your photos will be done soon!  :) It was a really fun wedding, you did an awesome job, and now that it is all done, RELAX!!!  :)

I was suppose to meet Jayme and her mom (who was also the made of honor) at the hotel for makeup, and preparation.  Imagine my surprise when Jayme’s dad answered the door, and Jayme was not there yet!  I was not sure if I was at the right door or not!  Soon Jayme arrived, and we got down to business.

As you can see she is a gorgeous bride…and she has great taste in shoes!

Robert had his son be the Best man, and he was one of the cutest best men I have seen!  :)

And now the bride and groom!

When Jayme and I met to discuss what she wanted from a wedding photographer, she mentioned she liked the selective color photos…I think this one is great, and very dramatic!

R-man and J-man were very happy to be cousins…and I think grandma was excited too…

Now off to the reception.  The reception was held at River Rock Alehouse, which created a fun laid back atmosphere, and provided LOTS of delicious food to eat! And a cake by Heather!

The night ended with lots of fun and dancing.

I must say, even though there was a lot of dancing, no one could quite move as well as J-man!  He defiantly knew how to get his grove on, complete with the robot, and MJ moves!  :)    

Jayme and Robert~ Thanks for letting me take part in your beautiful day.  I hope you have many years of happiness together, and will treasure the memories made at your wedding forever.
