Carrie and Randy's Livingston Wedding
On July 5 Carrie Patterson, a friend who is also a photographer, got married in our lovely little town in Livingston, Montana at Deep Creek Grange. It was a bit nerve wracking shooting another photographer's wedding. But I have know Carrie for several years now and I have to say she was her wonderful self on her wedding day.
Their wedding was just featured on one of my favorite blogs by Janie Medley, a talented floral designer based on the East coast, and a wonderful person. Here is a link to her blog. She features some incredible weddings on her page!

Anyway, back to Carrie and Randy's wedding. Carrie did a lot of the planning herself and designed the 'collateral' since she is also a great graphic designer. She and Randy love wine and decided to carry that theme throughout the wedding.
I love the bottles of wine with the corks holding the page numbers. The flowers in the wine boxes were simple and lovely.
Oh my god! We walked outside into the alley in town and there was a great airstream that a woman let us shoot in and on. (I actually asked permission this time!) Who could ask for a more beautiful bride?
A few weeks ago as I was talking to another bride she mentioned that she loved the spread Annie Leibovitz did of Sarah Jessica Parker for Vogue. http://www.style.com/vogue/feature/051308 I had just looked at the photos and they were amazing. I am a BIG (pardon the pun for those of you who saw the photos) proponent of 'stealing' images and making them your own. Here is one of the photos by Annie Liebovitz, truly one of the greatest environmental portraitists alive.
And then my photo inspired by hers.
(These are definitely not the steps of the MET but I love the photo.)
While on a trip with Carrie to a photographers conference in Vegas. We found out that she was going to wear dyeable shoes. Since she is a friend and we are very candid Chieko and I strongly suggested to Carrie that we go show shopping. We went to zappos.com the following week and she bought some sweet shoes that are oh so photographable. (I love to make up words.)
And the perfect dress for Carrie.
