Alexander & Sarah Vale


     Sarah & Alex were married...a few months ago. Okay, so yes, their wedding took place way back in August. It was the last of 9 weddings in less than a year involving our little church. So let's just say, I was enjoying a break and welcoming in the fall!...and getting a mite lazy in the photography department. Here's a handful of favorites from their memorable date, August 13.


     Mercy & Isaac Wagner - siblings of the bride, flower girl, ring bearer.


     Is that not a lovely circle of sisters?


     My lighting for the indoor pictures was - this. Stained glass. Congratulations to me, the inexperienced photo-taker! :/ Rehearsal gave me time to mess with the lighting though, and thankfully, I think the ceremony pictures turned out fine.


     Now Alexander is from Canada. If I understand right, from deep within an office, Canada. And the sensation of sweating is, apparently, quite foreign to him.
    One problem. He wanted an August wedding. In Oklahoma. With a suit.


     So what did we do? We laughed as he grumbled as we took the family pictures (which, by the way, include 12 children and several in-laws, so it's not like that just happened lickety-split.) And we tried for some indoor poses.


     The couple fell in love with this piano, and probably would have gotten stranded there for hours, if we hadn't had a time schedule to meet (always and always that time thing on weddings, right?).


    But then I just couldn't help it. I coaxed them out on to the streets, true to my penchant for town-shots.

    
   Poor Alex. He was sure he was going to melt.

     
     And if I don't sound very sorry, I'm not. I love this picture!!


     And Mercy. Adored littlest sister of the bride, spit-image of the bride, following right along in the intellect of the bride. Those are some shoes to fill, girlie!
