Lori and Sheldon's 777 wedding

Lori and Sheldon got married on July 7th, 2007-- the world's most popular wedding day! I got lucky with the most relaxed couple I've ever met-- they had a short ceremony under a big tree at 10am, with their two best friends as the witnesses. We got to hang out afterwards and take photos without the stress of rushing off to a reception... it was awesome!
Isn't Lori gorgeous?This is her friend Bonnie-- they've known each other for 25 years!Here's Sheldon with his friend Dave, who flew in from Hawaii to be a witness at the wedding.
I love the perspective that this photo brings. They were in the middle of such a huge field-- and just set everything up on a table, stood under the tree, and got married! I am such a huge fan of simple. Mmmm. I raved all day about how much I loved their wedding.They were so happy! It was such a perfect morning.
(Aren't their leis great? They were shipped in fresh from Hawaii!)
I love this photo of Bonnie and Lori. The kleenex box was a big deal-- it matched everything perfectly, and they joked that it should be Lori's bouquet. Ha!
Two exciting things about these shots:
#1-- I used a 100mm macro lens for the first time!
(photographer friends, FUN-- huh?? non-photographer friends... it means that I can get close ups!)
#2-- I took these photos on my new camera bag, a Shootsac. I'll post more about it this week!
Anddd you thought you had seen the last of the birds. ;)

The pictures of those rings are so clear, you could probably use them to get the diamond appraised! Excellent use of the macro!!
