Brook and Heath booked me almost a year ago and over the past year I really enjoyed getting to know them and felt so honored to be the one that they chose to chronicle their story of love. I think out of all of my brides, poor Brook had to endure more ups and downs in the planning of her wedding than any bride I have ever seen, but she handled everything with the utmost poise and always had a smile (even when someone broke into her house the week before her wedding and stole her wedding ring!)
On a side note, Brook and Heath knew very early on that photography was extremely important to them and they scheduled their whole wedding day around getting the best and most creative images. If you are a bride who feels this same way, the best advice I can give you is to start planning early on how you can make the most of your day and to get the best and most intimate images.
Brook and Heath, I am so happy for you and wish the two of you many years of love and happiness together!
Now, on to the photos!

There goes that Yellow Chair Photography gal again, making her brides get dressed outside... Believe it or not, this wasn't my idea - we were locked out of the church and Brook being the amazing bride that she is, got dressed in the church parking lot!
A wedding prayer...this is one of those moments that I truly feel blessed to be able to have a job where I get to witness moments such as this one.
The First Look. For those of you who may not be familiar with the First Look process and the importance of having a First Look, just a few words: First Looks are perfect for the bride and groom who want to make the most of their wedding day images! The First Look serves two main purposes: 1) It allows the bride and groom a few moments of true intimacy as they see one another for the first time. Without a First Look, the bride and groom will often not have any alone time at all until after the wedding day festivities have come to a close. 2) The First Look ensures that you have ample time for photos. By taking the majority of your Wedding Day images before the ceremony, you not only will have plenty of time for great images, you won't force your guest to wait up to two hours after the ceremony while you capture your Wedding Day images.
On the way to the reception, Brook and Heath wanted to make a detour to downtown to capture these fun and creative images!
For those of you that know Heath, this photo is so great because he is usually such a reserved kind of guy. I love to see Brook bring out this side in Heath!
Have I mentioned that Brook is such a great bride!? Part of capturing fun and creative images is that the bride and groom have to be willing to be silly and up for anything in front of the camera. Brook came up with several of her downtown poses on her own and I love how they turned out!
A note about the decorations and food - Brook's mom and family supplied all of the snacks, groom's pie tier, and decor for the reception! Brook and her mom began planning last year for this fall wedding and purchased tons of great finds at 90% off at Hobby Lobby! Brook's mom even grew lots of the floral decor and foliage herself at home to save money! This wedding truly looked like a professional wedding planner handled everything and was simply breathtaking. Brook's wedding just goes to show what you can accomplish for very little money when you plan ahead and think outside of the box!
