The Newest Mr. and Mrs. Bradley

Isn't winter a wonderful season to marry? I mean, sure it's cold, but the snow and the holiday cheer, the familial love- great time for a wedding.

Which is just what Sean's brother, Kyle, and his now wife, Lindsay, determined. They were married in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple in Utah last week and it was a grand day for all.

They asked me to take some wedding pictures for them.

Terrifying. Are there any more important pictures than those taken on your wedding day? I dun think so. Nu uh.

But I read up on wedding photography, paid attention to the composition of all the wedding photo blogs I frequent, and made good use of the new telephoto lens my parents gave me for Christmas (except for when my dear hubby ran off with it. tsk tsk. I forgive you honey), and some turned out alright.

Here are some of my favorites!

What a lovely new temple. It'll be so nice when the foliage fills out a bit.

Even prettier lit up at night.

Ah, this was Sean's photo during the luncheon. He was seated perfectly in the center of the room, I'm sure so he could capture this image.

And the happy couple at last! So thrilled to be together!

Ha, this one probably won't be hung on the wall, but I love her expression.

All the family, except for Lindsay's sister-in-law who's caring for her very newborn. A great crew.

Isn't this so sweet? I love wedding love.

Thankfully, Lindsay had a cape that at least guarded her from the sharp wind. 'Twas a cold day, my friends.

They both have lovely blue eyes. Can you see that here? Wonder if their kids will inherit it.

Rachel taught me what artists call this effect. Something like "lost and found," where you can't see the edge but your eye can still discern it. I'm a fan.

I love this one. The Bradleys printed it out 20x30 inches and it's so neat to see so big!

Mmm, this is what they mean when they say "wedded bliss."

Lindsay's idea and it rocks. And I made Kyle dip her at least three times- what a tough guy.

Veil fun! Thanks, Lindsay's mom, for the "natural" wind effect.

What a good lookin' couple. They belong together.
