The Bride with all the Bling

It’s so fun when I get to know someone before photographing their wedding. In this case, Jody’s sister Katy used to be our neighbor and went to high school with my husband, Eric. But over the last several years, we’ve gotten to know their whole family and they’re amazing. The wedding was no exception.

Jody’s taste was amazing – for her Aug. 8 wedding in Centralia, Washington at the Aerie Ballroom, she went totally blinged-out – from the dress to the cake to the bouquets and shoes and more. Keep your eyes peeled for lots of sparkly accessories.

The gorgeous flowers were done by Lena Shedd from Newbury Bay in Olympia – I got to meet her before the wedding and she was so sweet, plus check out these flowers! She seriously puts my wedding florist to shame.

Jody was such a pretty bride, and so relaxed before her ceremony.

Check out those cameras! When I first saw them, I thought Jody did them herself.  Turns out she just found a great deal.

Come back tomorrow to see her all blinged-out and walking down the aisle to her groom, Jeremy!
