Weddings {Dusty + Anna}

I was super excited when my cousin, Dusty, and his fiancé, Anna, asked me to photograph their wedding. For one, because it's always an honor for me to photograph my family, and secondly, aside from Dusty choosing an absolute sweetheart for a bride, Anna is also GORGEOUS.  My camera kinda digs gorgeous. Well done, Dusty, well done.

I spent the morning getting ready with the gals at 5th Avenue Color Company in Hastings, which is Anna's hometown.  After returning to Anna's parents home to get Anna into her gown, we went to Pioneer Village to meet the wedding party for pictures.  Pioneer Village, by the way, is heaven for a photographer! There is a beautiful photo opportunity around every corner. My second shooter, Brooke Wood, and I could've played there all day if we didn't have more important matters at hand!

The entire day was beatiful and full of fun little surprises...from the ring bearer having second thoughts about walking down the aisle (mid-walk), to the "How I Met Your Mother" inspired tribute video created by Dusty's family.  Dusty and Anna compliment each other perfectly, and you could feel the love and excitement in the air from the start of the day to the very last dance.  Here are some of the highlights from their beautiful October wedding day.
