2011 wedding favorites Part 2 {northeast wyoming wedding photographer}

2012-01-31T18:55:00.000-08:00

Here is my last installment of wedding favorites for 2011,,,including a never before seen wedding that was breath taking! Let's start with that one...since I'm very excited to share some of them!

I had the pleasure of second shooting (my first time...LOVED it) for Alissa from www.alissaferullophotography.com (the link won't work...sorry) This wedding was held at Eaton's Ranch in Wolf, Wyoming at the foot of the beautiful Big Horns.

This was amazing....they let the horses out to pasture in the middle of the ceremony to honor loved ones who are gone.

The light this beautiful autumn evening was so magical....I wish I could take it to every session with me!!!!

What a beautiful day to be a part of..and it was so fun and inspirational working with Alissa!

Dave & Katie
This wedding was just full of laughter and fun! It was just beautiful to shoot! I LOVED the hunting theme and how it was done with such class!

Chris & Jenny
I had the pleasure of photographing this wedding in breath taking Custer State Park in South Dakota for a fellow photographer on bed rest. I love helping and working with fellow photographers!

This was an amazing bouquet!

I just LOVE this image so much!

Jenny was a totally awesome bride who suggested getting in the water BEFORE the reception!

Then at the end of the night...the Buffalo roamed right by the reception!

Chris & Anna
This wedding was in Sturgis and Spearfish South Dakota. Chris and Anna gave me so much time and were amazing to work with all day long! What a great wedding!

Dennis & Amanda
I traveled to beautiful little Buffalo, Wyoming for this wedding...I just LOVE that town...and of course the mountains where the wedding took place.

The weather was so perfect...the clouds kept rolling over at just the right time!!!!

Dennis rented this awesome car for the day!

They got married in the most beautiful chapel with a spectacular view!

That concludes my 2011 wedding favorites. I can't wait to shoot more beautiful weddings this year! Looking forward to more amazing images! Thanks to all my wonderful brides and grooms....it was great capturing your special days!

2011 wedding favorites part 1 {Northeast Wyoming wedding photographer}

2012-01-27T15:18:00.000-08:00

Long post ahead....so many great images from each wedding to share...it's going to be hard to narrow it down!
Without further ado....here is part 1 of the wedding favorites from 2011:

Justin & Meaghan
One of my first weddings of 2011...and I loved every minute of it. Imagine how thrilled I was when I saw Meaghan's cape as well!!!! Justin and Meaghan were wonderful to work with and gave me plenty of time and locations for pictures...thanks again!

Andy & Stephenie
I photographed Stephenie's sister's wedding last year and was happy to be asked to photograph this one as well. It's so magical to photograph so much love!

Erich & Annejellica
Kilts? YES! What fun to photograph! The only bummer about this day was they were supposed to be married outside but we had been having so much rain so it was moved indoors a week before...and of course the day was beautiful...perfect for a wedding!

Calvin & Samantha
Samantha was so happy to be a bride! Never mind that the weather was so windy and rainy....their day was beautiful!

Greg & Rory (my mother-in-laws wedding, which was partcularly fun since it was family!)

Steven & Brittany
One of the funnest weddings I've had the pleasure to photograph! They gave me tons of time and we used several locations for pictures. There was even a tornado watch that day! Thanks for a great time you guys!

...And best first dance EVER!!!!!!!

Sadly, I had 3 weddings cancelled this year that would have been fantastic....such a bummer! Part 2 is coming up soon!

2011 Engagement favorites {northeast Wyoming engagement photographer}

2012-01-26T00:27:00.000-08:00

I fully intended to post some 2011 favorites before now...better late than never!
I'm breaking them up into engagements, weddings, seniors and maternity. Some great engagement images are up first!

Okay....maybe one more from each session! I had some engagement sessions from this years weddings that were done last year and already shared them....so these are just from 2011.

SO LOVED all the "thumbs ups" I got this session!

I LOVE engagement sessions...can't wait to photograph more this year!

I interrupt these session posts with an important message....

2012-01-11T16:49:00.000-08:00

I just received another "I'm disappointed our pictures aren't done yet" message. Well, I am disappointed too......I'm disappointed in myself, that I took on far too much for one person alone to handle, that I let this business take over my entire life and compromise my families happiness. I work day in and day out....I rarely step away from it. I handle every aspect of this business in addition to being a full time mother to 2 children. The fact of the matter is I DID take on too much, BUT I am working steadily away to fulfill orders. I feel the need to remind everyone that this is custom photography and it takes time. I will also be working on overhauling my entire business so this does not ever happen again. Session and pricing changes to follow soon! Until then please understand...I AM working.....

Mariah T. ~ 2012 senior {Northeast wyoming senior photographer}

2012-01-10T16:22:00.000-08:00

This was my favorite location from the afternoon!

And yes, it was an absolutely frigid day for a session. Cold or not, I can't think of a better way to start off 2012 than a senior session on New Years day!

I really enjoyed using the Christmas lights this year!

So pretty!

The light was just amazing that afternoon!

Thanks Mariah for braving the cold...you did great! I will have the rest of your proofs up in a few days!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas!

2011-12-24T10:24:00.000-08:00

Hope your Christmas is peaceful, beautiful and full of wonderful memories!

Sharing our card from this year:

Happy holidays! Can't wait for 2012 and all it will bring. Lots of changes to be announced soon!

Audrey ~ expecting! {Northeast Wyoming maternity photographer}

2011-12-21T18:13:00.000-08:00

Don't let her fool you...she was freezing! This was right at dusk...and the wind was blowing over the water. She was amazing!

Happy family!

Just beautiful!

I love clients (especially returning ones) who know what they want and don't mind braving the elements to get it!

Another favorite!

Audrey, I absolutely loved working with you...and thanks so much for braving the cold. Can't wait to meet your new little one! I will have the rest of your proofs up in a few days!

Yes, it was very cold...but you would have never known it looking at Audrey! Can't wait to share more soon!

Adam + Katie ~ engaged! {Northeast Wyoming engagement photographer}

2011-12-09T21:07:00.000-08:00

This session was destined to be in cold weather....although we used the better of the 2 dates planned..we only had some wind and rain instead of snow and below freezing temperatures! I met with Adam & Katie in Sheridan for their session.

They were so easy to work with...and their love just shone through ---> Makes me a happy photographer!

Loved the ducks in the water...they thought we had food!

Fun!

Can't believe I haven't used this building before....love it!

A few of my favorites!

Adam & Katie, thanks for such a great afternoon...I can't wait for your wedding! I will have the rest of your proofs up in a few days.

Trever ~ 2012 senior {Northeast Wyoming senior photographer}

2011-11-23T07:33:00.000-08:00

LOVE this location!
I met Trever and his mother at their house and then onto Keyhole for his senior session. It was the coldest morning I've shot so far this fall....probably due to a good part of the session being by the water.

Trever was so laid back and comfortable in front of the camera. Love when that happens!!!!!

Favorites!

Okay, so this is totally a joke. Trevers mother told me she had a dream I had photoshopped his horse into the water on one of the pictures....so I couldn't resist doing it....hahahahahaha!

Awesome!

And with his horse (whom I photoshopped into the water....hahahaha!)

LOVE this!

Trever thanks for such a great morning...and thanks for being so comfortable in front of the camera! I will have the rest of your proofs up in a few days!

Katy ~ 2012 senior (Northeast Wyoming senior photographer}

2011-11-21T17:43:00.000-08:00

I met up with Katie in Buffalo on a chilly fall morning for her session. I've spent a lot of time there shooting, but she showed me several new little spots....

.....like this! Too awesome! I love that little town...and LOVE shooting seniors!!!!

This groundcover and the lighting were so pretty!

She golfs...so this was a must!

So pretty!

The weather and scenery were amazing!

Another favorite!

2011-11-18T14:31:00.000-08:00

This wedding was amazing! Not only did I have a beautiful backdrop and couple but the lighting was in our favor all day! Every time we stopped to take pictures the sun would go behind the clouds providing us with beautiful, overcast lighting!

Love this!

Her hair turned out absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful!

Love the feel of this image!

First look!

What a beautiful location...and couple!

Dennis rented this car for their day....I LOVE when there is something like this to shoot!

Beautiful moment

The bride

There was no end to beautiful little spots....so thankful that Dennis and Amanda gave me plenty of time for their pictures!

The girls

The wedding party

The guys

What an amazing little chapel!

...and yes it was hard to photograph against the bright windows...but we made it work!

First kiss as husband and wife

We did an image like this for their engagement session so naturally we had to take one for their wedding!

Details...

And they lived happily ever after.....

Dennis and Amanda thank you for giving me such a beautiful day (and love) to photograph! Thank you for your patience also...I will be working on getting the rest edited in between all my other work and the holiday next week.

Love this!

Excited to be a bride!

First time seeing each other.

Beautiful bride!

The bouquet(s) were so unique and beautiful!

Handsome groom!

I have been trying to get a picture with my clients after each session/wedding but more often than not I forget. Excuse the way I look....I just got done putting in a full day!

Perfect way to end this....such a happy couple!

Chris and Anna your day was so fun and beautiful...I enjoyed capturing it for you. Thank you so much for your patience in waiting to see these. It is much appreciated!

My friend Susan has been wanting to take her couch out to this field by her house and do pictures of her family. We threw in my family and some pictures of ourselves as well! I need some new pictures for the overhaul I'm planning for my website/business. Thanks sista for taking pictures of me...I had fun editing this one!

Nicky ~ 2012 senior (Northeast Wyoming senior photographer}

2011-11-10T10:49:00.000-08:00

I met Nicky for her session on a chilly, rain cloud overcast fall morning. I was missing some sun...but I think it made the fall colors even more vibrant. Plus, we could go to any location at any time!

I've been wanting to use this location forever but it's always busy....with school being in session this was the perfect day for it!

Love this one!

The fall colors were just amazing this morning!

LOVE it!

Love this little spot!

Nicky, thanks for a fun morning taking your pictures! I will have the rest of your proofs up in a few days!

2011-11-04T12:54:00.000-07:00

I met Jared and Missy in Sheridan on a beautiful fall afternoon! This session was so fun!
Favorite!!!!

Missy mentioned that she and Jared loved to travel and she thought she could get ahold of a vintage suitcase. I knew exactly what I wanted to do from there! This is really more of the direction I want to take my photography....more tailored to who my clients are!

Beautiful!

This is another of Missy's wonderful ideas! When Jared proposed to her he clipped these pictures to a tree (among other things) and Missy wanted to re-create it. I LOVED it!

Again, love the train image!

Love this!

Another favorite...okay, well maybe they all are! What an amazing session from start to finish!

What a great fall evening we had to work with!

We were just finishing up and walking towards the cars...the sunset light was magical and we went past this tree with these beautiful buds still on it! Loved it!

Jared and Missy, thank you so much for a wonderful evening! I had a great time! I will have the rest of your proofs up in a few days!

I loved how she was texting while getting her eye makeup done!

Yum!

An emotional moment

Here comes the bride...what an absolutely beautiful place for a ceremony!

They had a ring exchange with their daughters during the ceremony...the whole ceremony was very much about them becoming a family...it was very tender and beautiful.

LOVE this

Husband and wife!

Beautiful little family

LOVE this!

Beautiful!

I found more dandelions!

Fisheye fun!

Instead of a cake they had these beautiful little desserts on all the tables

First dance as husband and wife (and family).

Photo booth fun....I think ever bride and groom should get a photo booth at the reception...seriously so fun!

And to finish the night, we had to take a picture with a Buffalo crossing the road!

Chris & Jenny thank you for such a wonderful time...you were both so great to work with! Jenny...thanks for getting in the water....seriously awesome! Enjoy your images!

Now I am not really a lover of dogs....but who wouldn't love this face?

Nearly two years ago we went and met this girl and she really was made for our family. I wanted a very mellow, easy to take care of animal...and she has been just that.

And of course, I had to take a few pictures of our dog, Hailee with my two loves. These are truly 3 of my favorite things in my life!

Tara ~ 2011 senior {Northeast Wyoming senior photographer}
