Weekend Mountain Wedding: an Abandoned House and an Open Field

Weekend Mountain Wedding: an Abandoned House and an Open Field

September 30th, 2009 @ 1:34 pm by Mrs. Espresso

They come few and far between. Those moments when your family and friends are healthy… happy. When you can see everything in life for the blessing that it is, rather than the job, errand, or line on the To Do list that’s calling. When life is, in its purest form, good.

This was one of those moments.

Kissing my new husband in a field of weeds…

Underneath competing rain clouds and sunshine

It was perfect.

I’m so in love with this man!

Our photographers were drawn to this house for our pictures. We would have never taken pictures in the field, otherwise. We were just driving down the road looking for anything that caught our eye, and gave us inspiration. And that’s when we stumbled across her—vacant and boarded up. So we decided to give her some love and play house in the front.

Being intimate in front of a photographer can be daunting. I know that during our engagement session I felt awkward 99% of the time. Passerbyers looking at me. Lens up in my face. I was making faces I didn’t even know existed… and not in a good way. But on the day of our wedding, it didn’t matter anymore. I was only focused on my new husband, and I felt so incredibly peaceful…

in love…

and happy.

This was one of those moments.

let me just say, your eyebrows are fantastic. random, i know, but i’m a make-up artist and am obsessed with other people’s eyebrows, it’s one of the first things i notice.

You look amazing, and so focused on your hubby! I like the abandoned house, abandoned buildings always add really nice contrast to dressy photos.

Beautiful! And I agree — I felt awkward and like our engagement session was “forced fun.” (Even my kisses look bizarre, like I was puckering my lips too much or scared to have my mouth open even a centimeter!) But on the wedding day, I don’t remember having any confidence or shyness issues — and I really hope our photos reflect this!

I don’t know who deserves more credit: you and your husband, or the photographer. Someone was doing a whole lotta something right because these images are stunning! So much beauty and love in each and every one.

Thank you all so much for all the very sweet comments! I’m totally blushing over here!!

@Mrs. Sparkle: Believe me- they are not like that naturally, although I wish they were- my friend who’s make- up artist did a fantastic job and I owe it all to her
@RecessionistaBride: hahahaha we have a little puppy keeping us busy at the moment- but someday
@million: Our photographer was awesome and we have her to thank. She’s totally easy going and extremely talented
@Christine: thanks so much! My sister and I made it
