Now for the second part of the fabulous wedding of Erica and Jacob!!!  If you didn’t see the first part, click HERE.

One of the best things you can do for a photographer, is give them plenty of time for photos.  Erica and Jacob gave us a great amount of time for photos of the bridal party, and also of just the two of them alone. It was wonderful!

Erica could work that camera like CRAZY!  I almost needed my camera pried out of my hands around her…..

While I worked with Erica, Brett went off to do some “groomals.”

WORK it Jacob, WORK it!

*speechless*

Some details of their amazingly beautiful reception at the Contemporary Arts Center….one of my new favorite venues.

Dan (who you may remember) gave a “best man” speech that got a great reaction.

In fact, I thought all the speeches were perfect.

“This Side Up” got the party rocking!!

I looked over and saw this sweetie sitting there and quickly took this shot.

boyz on the dance floor!

How perfect are they??  They left the party and went exploring the Arts Center for some interesting photo opps….we found this bizarre film playing, and I love their silhouettes.

Think they had fun??

WE had SO MUCH FUN!!!

Erica and Jacob, we are so happy that Kristi and Dan sent you our way….we just ADORE you guys through and through.

The kindness you, your family, and friends all showed us was unbelievable- and even though it was YOUR DAY, you were constantly making sure I was eating and drinking all day long.  :)  You guys brought us in as part of the group, and we are so thankful.  How flipping lucky we are to have this job, and meet such wonderful people!!

We wish you all the best, and much happiness as the years go by.   See ya at Kristi + Dan’s wedding in a month and a half!  :)

Everything about Erica and Jacob’s wedding day was perfect…..the dress, the locations, the weather, the cake, the flowers, but most importantly- the two of them.  They united in love surrounded by their dear family and friends, and we were so incredibly honored to be a part of their day.  Everything was gorgeous!

Because it was nearly impossible to narrow down the photos, (I love way too many!) I am splitting their wedding into two blog posts.  :)

I thought it was such a sweet moment when Erica did her Mom’s make-up.

Then she did some touch-ups of her own…

Then “curl-master” Kristi did some touch-ups on Erica’s hair.  :)

this is what the guys do when the girls are getting pretty…

And then a few minutes before the wedding, they get dressed.

Usually to sit around and wait!  :)

(They ordered pizza.)

The girls help Erica get into her amazing  Carolina Herrera dress.  It was soooo gorgeous!

One more irresistible shoe shot.

Her beautiful Mama walked her down the isle.  Hi Claudia!

Everyone enjoyed the ceremony…in their own way.

Brilliant shot Brett….

(my favorite ceremony shot)

I think this photo deserves to be on canvas….what do you think?

Party time!!

New take on an old classic…guess I like her shoes a bit.  ;)

I think my favorite thing about these two together, is the way they make each other laugh.  It is contagious.

Jacob thinks he is camera shy….I think not.

Lovely ladies.

I know, I know….she is RIDICULOUS!!!!

I turned around and saw this….the gals talking casually, and I loved it.

Work it you beautiful thing you!!

HER DRESS IS INSANELY GORGEOUS.

Ok, you win!!  Tomorrow you’ll get LOTS more!!!
