We are passionate about documenting genuine and uninhibited love between two people because telling their story matters.
I’ll come out and say it, it was cold! But looking back over the photos, you would think it was a beautiful day…because it was! Jody and Amanda wanted to have a winter wedding so the weather was no surprise. As their big day started, I will never forget all the feels during Amanda’s first look with her Dad. Watching the proud look on his face, and off to the side, her mom welling up with happy tears. Truly, I can’t get enough of this lovely winter wedding. It was cold, freezing, and windy by Skiatook Lake that day even with the bright sun. But there was Amanda, excited, all smiles, exuding joy, and Jody was stoic and handsome as ever. Jody had proposed to Amanda on a hiking trip through Galcier National Park. They are a brave and well travelled couple. So I knew they would be up for anything. The guests cautiously headed outside, snatching a blanket wedding favor along the way. And everyone will forever remember the fun burst of confetti and excitement during this gorgeous couple’s first kiss. They watched the sun set softly over the lake while trying to keep warm with Amanda’s fur wrap and each other’s embrace. The Springs Event Venue in Tulsa, OK was gorgeous! The water bubbling through the ice encrusted stream, and the bridge fringed with pampas grass set against the lakeside backdrop was totally picturesque. The elegant affair was quickly turned into a colorful dance party. Glow sticks danced in the air as a large Love marquee sparkled in the background. The couple was sent off to their next adventure with cheers and of course…more confetti!
Congrats Jody and Amanda! Your winter wedding was so much fun! I will never forget all the love and all the confetti cannons for sure. We wish you many warm happy days ahead and can’t wait to capture more of your love story. Friends, thank you all for stopping by and make sure to hit ‘Like’ or leave some Love {aka comments}. ♥
