He stood turned away.  His back towards her.  Cherished loved ones, dressed in tuxedos and turquoise dresses stood near, gathered for this glorious moment.  Click clack click clack. The sound of her heels grew louder.  He took a deep breath, shook the nervousness out through his hands, closed his eyes and tilted his face towards the heavens.  “Thank you for her,” he whispered.

“Baby….” she called.  With a jump of his body, he turned around and saw his princess for the first time.

Married: Julie and Robert

What do you think of when you hear the term “romance?”  A true romance?  I never could quite put a scene to it.  Until I met Julie and Robert.  Everything about their story and their wedding day is pure romance.  I highly encourage you to read about their story and engagement session here before moving onto their wedding photos.

It was difficult to take a bad picture at this wedding.  EVERYONE had permanent smiles on their faces.  Not even smiles… but the biggest expressions of joy I have EVER seen.  Their sweet September day started at Aveda Salon and moved to the Glen Eyrie Castle where Julie put on her dress in the exact spot where Robert proposed, followed by their dramatic first look!

You know this is going to be good.. look how stunning she is!  Julie reminds me of a princess with these romantic braids.

Love this shot that Jes grabbed of Julie looking at her finished hair with her best friend, Abbey, in the reflection! This one takes some time to figure out.

Another shot that takes a minute to figure out; luckily Jes grabbed a shot of me taking the one on the right.

Julie’s oh-so elegant dress hanging in Glen Eyrie Castle.

Two of Julie’s sweet bridesmaids (both pregnant!) were so incredibly joyful to see their best friend and sister in her wedding gown.

Julie’s future niece or nephew:

Okay, so get this, Robert owns a locksmith business in San Francisco, so their theme for the day was centered around him unlocking Julie’s heart! How awesome is that?!
Found this neat key hole at the Glen:

The Glen Eyrie Castle is a photographer’s dream for photos:

Julie you are breathtaking!

Okay, this is where it gets good!  Introducing the oh-so handsome Robert who is about to see Julie for the first time:

His first reaction followed by some jumps and screams:

He couldn’t believe his eyes!  “Can I touch you?!” he asked as he circled her several times.

Ugh… GOOD. STUFF!

Julie and Robert were SO easy to photograph. I felt just like a fly on the wall.

More awesome wedding party shots to follow and some super expressive ceremony shots!  Stay tuned!
