Snow and Love.

Karen and Brenden first met on the ski slopes so it seemed only right to have a fresh layer of snow fall the morning of their wedding.  These two are so perfect together and so absolutely laid back; it's no wonder they have so many people that adore them.  They listen to others so completely and smile so warmly I don't think there is anyone that wouldn't immediately feel important around them.  I also loved that they were all about leaning away from the traditional.  We (Johanna and I---more about that in a minute) met Karen while she got her hair done at the Reflections Salon.  Chad did a gorgeous job on her hair and has me convinced that I need to come see him for a great hairstyle.  After some fun laughs with Karen and Chad, Johanna and I headed over to Happy Sumo to where Brenden and the guys were having lunch. 

Brenden wanted to get pictures of Karen meeting his sweet little nieces for the first time (especially since they wouldn't be at the dinner that night) so we met up with them at Costa Vida and went back to their condo in The Gateway to meet up with Karen.  After making sure that the blue coolers made it safely into one car Karen and Brenden went to the temple to be married. 

When Karen and Brenden came out of the Bountiful Temple they couldn't stop smiling and everyone was so happy for them.  After freezing half to death as the sun went down we were all ready to get on over to Rodizio Grill for warmth and good food.  It was so fun to see Karen and Brenden interact through out the day of running around town together.  THey went with the flow no matter what.  In fact, I remember Karen saying as she was getting her hair done that one day a while back she decided that she was just going to let be whatever happened.  She'd done what she could and she'd just be happy with whatever turn of events things took.  From that moment on she was so relaxed.  She is very wise.

Karen and Brenden, thank you so much for letting Johanna and I be part of your wonderful day.  We had such a great time with and were so inspired by the way you were both so relaxed and patient with the way things went through out the day.  Your happy perspective made the day so perfect!

NOTE:  There is something different about this wedding from all of the others that I've posted....Johanna, our new associate photographer at Davina Studios!  The first 10 couples to book with Johanna get to have me as a second shooter at their wedding.  Karen and Brenden were the first to book with her and she is going to book up very quickly so make sure to contact the studio for more information:  davina@davinafear.com    The first set of images is Johanna's and the second set are some of mine....

new.  LIFE.
