Mr. & Mrs. W. at last (Longview, WA Wedding Photography)

Posted on July 19, 2009

Today was a super special wedding.  I have all rights and reasons to say that-one of my nieces, whom I have seen grow from very infancy wed the love of her life.  I divulge the entire story today-I will have to come back tomorrow for that, but I will let you see a sneak peek of how gorgeous they are.  This is especially for the happy couple, who will be taking off to Mexico tonight.

I love you both, Nina and Carson!  May God be your Guide.  I promise that I will follow up TOMORROW (actually today ;) ) with more images, so you have something to look at while you are so far away from us.  But here is a little bit of everything for you.

Carson’s emotions were so raw and beautiful.

I love the look on my brother’s face.  It does not happen but once in a lifetime that a man gets to walk down his firstborn down the isle.

I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but I watched through the viewfinder as throughout the ceremony these two lovebirds were whispering ” I love you” to each other non-stop.  It set off a bunch of butterflies in my stomach every single time.  Aren’t they beautiful?!

Nina was all beauty and glam.  (For photogs out there wondering what I did to get this shot, here is a quick lowdown: it was getting dark outside, so I set my ISO very high–about 1000 or higher–and shot with no flash.  For post processing I sharpened and resized–that’s it!  Happy planned accident :) )

img_6643To the lovely couple, Nina and Carson, may the road of your life be filled with love and respect for each other.

I will post more later… promise… to show more of the happy couple and their parents.

If you enjoyed this post and want to wish well to Nina and Carson, go ahead and leave a comment right under this post–they will be checking on my blog while in Mexico.
