Intimate Fall Wedding - Photography and DIY Video Co-Creation- Jasmine and Kevin - Boho Chic Rustic Farm
A boho-chic rustic farm vibe
On private land, a friend's beautiful farm, a small group of close family members gathered to witness the vows of Jasmine and Kevin.
He left her a note! And so I took a picture of a photo of a hand holding a few simple words. Such sweet vulnerability. This is the stuff of dreams!
These kids! They were so amazing. They were the entire bridal party, and frankly, everything Jasmine and Kevin needed. So sweet and supportive!
For photographers who want to know how to get streaky light and a million little bokeh flares everywhere... f22. I know it's not a popular setting, and everyone loves the f1.2-f2.8 wide open haze, but if you want a little variety, try a narrow aperture. Sun flares are always random and fun between f14 and up!
So, this is apparently a thing: Kevin has a collection of images of him jumping - and let's be real, he's GOOD at it - so he definitely wanted to add the "jumping on his wedding day" picture to the collection. Lol. This is me, supporting his dream. Here's Jasmine trying to keep up and also supporting his dream. If you ask me, "Jump of Joy" deserves a Gif!
My absolute favorite wedding emotion is wonder/awe. Can you see it in her eyes? I can. Where there's such a flood of love beyond tenderness because all your people are HERE, they are all cheering for you, and this entire celebration of joy is because your found your person and he/she found you. It's amazing. So touching and real.
Okay. More of this, please! Time to normalize guys tossing their own bouquets for those who don't feel like the garter is quite the thing to do anymore. I'm all about equality and fun, so a groom having a toss bouquet is pretty much a win-win.
Sometimes as I leave an event, I shoot just a few more pictures on my way out the door. It's a fun end way to close the evening, and there is something special about the sky on the night you were married. I wonder if the image will inspire. If it will hang over a crib someday with a sweet inscription, and some precious hopes. Or if the color palette will find its way into the sofa pillows in the living room without the couple ever knowing why they are drawn to those tones. These things. It's these things that make me another one of the hopeless romantics on the planet. I know I'm not alone.
Jasmine and Kevin - for you - the moon on the night you said: "I do".
DIY Wedding VIDEO
Jasmine went to film school! She made her OWN film with footage I collected throughout the day. How cool is that!? In addition to it being completely inexpensive (I don't have hours of editing time to cost-quote for) it is also just undeniably fun to see what someone else will create from your files. Quite a few of these were tripod shots from our a7siii, and for the B-roll, we had two DJI Osmo Pockets and an Osmo Action to pass around! The kids filmed some too! If you're on the fence about adding a video, but know how to edit your own, you can always consider a DIY Raw Footage option. It's not for everyone, but for a select few, it's a perfect choice!
