I knew after taking a single shot during their engagement session that Stephen and Kristine were going to be stunning on wedding day and they certainly lived up to my expectations…
Very early in the morning…
I loved that Kristine was working on the order of people during the ceremony while getting her hair done and think this is a great drawing:
Stephen wiping away Kristine’s tears after the first look:
It was a challenge to pick a favorite formal picture from this wedding but these very spirited girls are hard to beat:
Kristine with her grandfather behind her…and off in the distance her mom:
Some of the prettiest flowers I’ve ever seen:
Pretty cake in tall grass:
My new (and bigger) style of guestbook was a hit:
Their dog Daisy during dinner:
Kristine had a great wedding dress for spinning:
So this sweet little dog randomly jumped into this picture and I love how it turned out:
Sans dog:

Check back on Tuesday for a wedding slideshow

Mrs. Wilson - Hello,
I happen to be the minister’s wife and as such have attended quite a few happy ceremonies.
I would like to take a moment to say, you are a gifted photographer. Your sense of style and artistic ability added something very special to this memorable event. I thought you showed remarkable grace and class during the service. You were there to do a job, yet somehow you melted into the background.
In the years to come, many people from this occasion will only have your photographs to gaze upon to help them to remember the day. They are indeed lucky.
Stephen and Kristine chose wisely.
Here’s to many more wonderful moments that you capture. You bring out the happy tears in not only the bride and groom but to many more of us as well.
I feel honored to have peaked into your chosen field.
Well Done!

I have known Kristine since fifth grade and you did an absolutely fabulous job portraying her and Stephen in their elements! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I can’t wait to see the rest of their pictures! I love looking at your other pictures on your site too, you will definitely be thought of when it comes to my wedding!!

I was unable to attend the wedding due to a prior commitment, and these pics made me feel like I was there!
I can’t WAIT to see the rest!
Congrats to Kristine and Stephen!!!

Sacha Blue - Mrs. Wilson,
Thank you so much for taking a moment out of your day to brighten mine with such kind words. I’m truly humbled.
Cheerfully,

Sacha Blue - Hi Melissa,
It means a lot to me that someone who has known Kristine for so long and knows her so well thinks I’ve caught them in their element. It is one of my goals every time I take out my camera.

Sacha Blue - Hi Beth,
Thank you for your comment! One of the many things I try and do with each wedding is create a set of photographs that the couple can show their friends/family/future children years later and make those people feel like they were really there. Your comment lets me know I’m on the right track.

Sacha Blue - Hi Corel,
Thanks for making my job so easy and giving me the freedom to have fun and do what I love. I’m glad to hear that you cried…you’ll probably want to grab tissue for the slideshow I am working on that will be online on Tuesday.

James Thomas - These are really nice pictures. I can look at these and remember all of the fun things that happened that day. I hope you got the crue up on stage doing the Y-M-C-A song!!
