Meghan & Mike's Wedding | Flagstaff, AZ | Thornagers

Meghan and Mike were troopers. First the bride could NOT have been more calm and relaxed while she was getting ready. She had great energy and looked amazing especially for 8AM. This wedding was unique for many reasons, but mostly because I don't shoot many daytime events. This was a 10AM ceremony followed by a brunch. It was lovely to have all that daylight and we had so much fun with our photo shoot. We just marched downtown and found as much great light as possible and even tried on some cowboy hats! Next to the reception at Thornagers, How many wedding receptions include a father daughter dance featuring STEP aerobics? Apparently both Meghan and her Dad teach STEP at FAC (I teach spinning there) Adorable! Thanks M&M for being such an incredibly flexible and fun couple that was willing to try anything!

technical note: I used some great new PhotoShop actions for the ceremony photos. The Church of the Nativity is gorgeous, dark and very classy, so I thought I'd give the images a similar look. Thanks to Totally Rad Actions it was possible.

aside from the new car, I like how this looks like a vintage Flagstaff postcardView the slide show below within the blog or click here to get your own window...

Those are fun images Cameron! You did a good job of handling the harsh light. That shot of the newlyweds exiting the church is really pretty. - katrina
