Last Weekend Jen and I drove up to Lake Almanor to the town of Chester to meet up with Dustin & Jordan, and photograph their beautiful wedding. Talk about a great town that has the look and feel of Tahoe, BUT BETTER!!! ( In my opinion) :) We drove up Friday evening and stayed at this really cool Bed and Breakfast called The Bidwell House. Talk about a cozy place, and the breakfast was OUTSTANDING. 3 course breakfast every morning was OK with me!! Saturday came and Jen and I got ready to go. Jen met up with Jordan right across the way from where we were staying. I went and met the guys at a cabin right by the lake. The wedding party met at this really cool, old, rundown barn that was HUGE, and made for great shots outside.................and inside. Once we got inside it was amazing!!! Old wood that was exposed to the elements had aged the wood to have a unique look. I told Dustin "Dude you should have got married here". It was tons of fun there that I dodnt want to leave the area, but we kinda had to cause DUH their not getting married at the barn. ( but they should have, in my opinion of course)
This wedding was flawless from beginning to end as we had plenty of time to get the shots we needed, and even had time to go back to the babin with the wedding party and chill and chat with them. Good times, Good times!! As the day went well, it was also a emotional day for Dustin and his family. Such emotion flowed from them, as there were times when he was getting his jacket on and his mom came into the room and just was filled with joy and happiness seeing her son getting married, to another time with Dustin, his mom and dad exchanging little gifts before the ceremony, and seeing all of them with tears in their eyes, it almost made me want to tear up. The ceremony was simple, and beautiful. What can i say except we had tons of fun shooting their wedding. Dustin and Jordan enjoy your teaser from your wedding. We can't wait to show the rest to you.
The dress was stunning.
Love this shot of his mom tying his tie for him and just smiling with happiness.
