carissa byers photography: christina and brandon

another beautiful wedding!

this couple were so much fun. her hair was gorgeous thanks to the lovely kinome.

kinome's hubby, collin, is probably one of the nicest, most photo-friendly people i know. even in his stockings.

i could have easily shot just the children there.

these particular kids probably wouldn't have minded.

church rules kept me in the balcony the whole time.

although it's restricting, it is neat to see the ceremony from the arial perspective. super lens lets me get close enough and as long as i don't breathe, ha, i can keep my focus.

this family knows how to party.

they picked a great venue for the recpetion. a huge white room full of natural light.

it was tough trying to decide whether to be on the side with the light (thus getting light on their faces) or on the other side of the room to get that great screen background.

rock star is the only word to describe this kid.

you can never go wrong with a disco ball.

you know how sometimes the wedding dance floor is a little intimidating until guests have put a dent in the cash bar and the dj plays "YMCA" or "funky cole medina"? yeah. this group didn't have that problem. at. all.

so i had a blast and wish you guys the best. thank you so much for letting me photograph your wedding!
