Not only did Kyle (of Kyle Miller Photography) join me for this wedding, but Michael Fort (of Integritas Photography) joined in as a groomsman; and stepped in with his camera as well for double duty. A super fabulously fun team to work with...
The wedding Mass and reception was at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Federal Way. Art is the head of music ministry for their Life Teen program...and one of the most talented musicians I know.
What did I love about this wedding? So many little touches of them everywhere. Their true and genuine excitement for their wedding - for the Mass - for one another.
Onto a few of the faves!
After the Mass, the skipping begins...
Before the wedding...down to Redondo Beach. A little Beatles-esque.
My ring shot - a tribute to Art's piano-ness.
Everyone who witnessed this was in tears. Art composed the song for Kristina for her processional...and he played it for her before the Mass. He continued on and sang to her.
With his bride's bouquet...
And while we're talking about goofy...
Kyle, again rocking the macro shot with her bouquet...
Michael caught this great shot of the gals together with Art and Kristina...
Shot through the rock at Redondo, by Kyle...
Michael caught the notes from the readings...
"Allow us to live together to a happy old age."

One of my other faves of this wedding? Right after Art and Kristina had their first communion as husband and wife, his son Cameron had his first Communion - ever. The smile below is of a proud papa as Cam receives the Sacrament.
Cameron, just after...
How do ya like that cake topper?!? Kyle recognized my shot...and immortalized it. :)
And what I am finding to be one of my new favorite scenes...
The wedding party surrounded by those they love...
Thank you both for inviting me into your day...I can't wait for you to see the slideshow!
