Brian and Lea Doster

This summer has been non-stop! It has been awesome to be a part of so many sweet weddings! This weekend I shot Brian and Lea's wedding in Ripon. I'm not going to lie, it was a hot one! The SLIDESHOW is like 7 minutes long, and I put 42 photos on this post :) 

Hahaha! Good times!


The giggle-monsters:

Casey Joens was one of the groomsmen. I met Brian and Lea through Casey.

Originally the guys were not going to wear ties, but you will see that they came in handy later...




Brian and Lea collected amber-wear for months before the wedding to use for the tables at the reception. Even though all of the pieces were different, they matched in a really cool way. My garage sale and thrift store loving heart was SO into it :)




Trent and Olivia are two of the cutest kids  you could ever see!



Brian and Lea washed each others feet during the ceremony. This idea comes from John 13 where Jesus washes his disciples' feet. It shows humility and a willingness to serve the other person. I think that this was a really cool way of physically demonstrating what their wedding vows were verbally communicating.






I love this shot!
Coorrrbbiinn!
Haha. Papa Alex grew a new finger-stache :)

I love these kids! If I didn't like the city so much, I'd move to Stockton so that I could hang out with them all the time.


Apparently Trent was still hungry, and Hope was the first thing he could get his hands on.


See how the tie became a critical accessory for the dancefloor:
What a fun day! I'm so glad I got to be there for such a good time :)
