{ eric + michelle }

Michelle always knew she'd get married in Yosemite. As a child she fell in love with the trees, the waterfalls, the crisp air... she just needed to fall in love with the guy. Then Eric came along and her big plans became a reality with a beautifully simple outdoor ceremony at the Ahwahnee Hotel. Surrounded by close friends and family, Eric and Michelle celebrated with lots of laughs and tears, amazing food, live music... and tequila shots.

Ooh, I almost forgot! We trashed her dress the day after... I'll post those photos in the next few days... they're my favorite!

I love the way Michelle's mom was just gazing at her... she was so proud and excited.

As soon as Michelle saw Eric at the alter she just started giggling.

She was so nervous, happy, and excited all at the same time.

Michelle and Eric couldn't have picked a more beautiful place to get married.

My super-spy shot.

The boys snuck up on them in the field in the middle of their shoot- such a cute moment.

Everywhere you looked there was another gorgeous place to shoot...

Troy LOVED it when I pointed my camera at him... what more could I have asked for?

This cake was sooooo delicious! Red velvet with cream cheese filling.

The first dance...

And last, but not least- my favorite shot of the day

(so far anyway, I'm sure when I look through the other photos I'll change my mind a million more times :-)

I have sooooo many wedding photos to go through (and tons of mosquito bites to photoshop), but here is a sneak peak at my Yosemite wedding. Keep a look out for the rest soon.
