Lauren + Jasper's Backyard Rehearsal Dinner
As far as I can tell, Jasper’s mom Kathy is the Martha Stewart of Whidbey Island. With plants and lights and flowers (not to mention a delicious dinner), she transformed her yard into a gorgeous rehearsal dinner venue the evening before Jasper and Lauren’s wedding. It looked so beautiful that I half-wondered if I hadn’t accidentally stumbled into the wedding reception.
Rehearsal dinners are a lot of fun for me, partially because I don’t get to shoot very many of them, but mostly because they’re so intimate. You can really feel the love all around as the family gathers, gifts are exchanged, and plans are made for the big day. Also, I’ve taken to shooting them with all prime lenses, which gives the photos a special feeling for me. Wedding photos soon to come…
