Dyanne at the reception: “What kind of guy gives you art? Who gives you art as a gift? How amazing is that? How amazing is it that I married this man?? I am so freaking lucky!”
These are the sorts...

Lucas - October 3, 2009 - 12:26 am

Stunning photos! It was a beautiful day and night, and the photos have captured that wonderfully!

Olivia Leigh - October 2, 2009 - 2:29 pm

Ha! So random. I stumbled upon you guys via Twitter and was enjoying your blog–and who do I see but Reid + Dyanne?! I met Reid about six years ago in Paris. I am so happy for both of them that they found a great photographer for their day! Yay.

Love that wide shot inside the church. Such a great sense of scale!

Dyanne & Reid - September 27, 2009 - 7:37 am

Yay!! We were supposed to wait until we got home from our honeymoon to look at these, but we couldn’t wait. These are beautiful. We are so excited to see the rest! Thank you so much for everything.

Annie - September 24, 2009 - 5:56 pm

More beautiful shots! And all of your music choices on the site and slide shows is PERFECT! Can’t wait to have you two shoot our wedding this November!

Karalee - September 23, 2009 - 7:00 pm

GOOOOOORGEOUS! Love them!!

Kate Z - September 23, 2009 - 3:05 pm

Great work you two! I had a great time working with you and hope to do so again soon!

Joanne Mandel - September 23, 2009 - 12:19 pm

You mean 22 years later it’s coming back???? I had a “rainbow” wedding in 1987:) Lovely images David and Cathy. Wonderful emotion captured for this couple!

Lori Herrin - September 23, 2009 - 11:38 am

The slideshow & music = priceless. Amazing capture of emotions in your camera brings tears to my eyes. Can’t imagine what it will do to Dyanne and Reid except to bring back all the emotions of their special day. Get out the kleenex. :-D As always, you continue to WOW me!
Love you lots! Mom

Raquel - September 23, 2009 - 10:09 am

Very rarely do photographers (at least in my opinion) catch the beautiful emotions that go on during the ceremony. They kind of go into auto-pilot and assume they can’t be creative, but Kudos to you guys. You hit some out of the park with this post especially in that area! WTG! Pics 10 & 11 rock my eyeballs!

Amanda - September 23, 2009 - 9:39 am

Wow guys! These are totally amazing!

Anna (& Braden) - September 23, 2009 - 9:26 am

gorgeous!
love the flowers, love the colors, love the bridesmaids, love the father and “watch your step” love the bride dancing. beautiful. gorgeous. happy.

Christine (Assistant Ninja) Elizabeth - September 26, 2009 - 9:39 pm

HOW in the world have I not commented yet?! Sorry! This whole post is fabulous! I have watched the slideshow 5 times or so. So much fun to relive the parts I saw and to see the rest! Cathy and David – THANK YOU so much for taking a chance on a (stalking) ninja from NE! You guys are beyond awesome – and exactly as I imagined you would be. I learned a ton from you guys, and had a blast! AND, of course, thanks for the yummy brunch and brain-picking the next day! I can’t wait to see you guys again!
Kate and Nathan – Congratulations!!! Thank you so much for allowing me to come along and experience your day! EVERYTHING was perfect! The place, decorations, food-it was all just perfect! And your family and friends, and YOU TWO were so much fun to be around! I’m happy for you guys, and thank you again for allowing me to be there!

Checked Twitter this morning and saw that the blog was up for the Iowa wedding. Can I say that I am very glad you didn’t call me in the wee hours to share these fantastic pictures. LOL I must say it would have been worth it!! Oh wait, I think I was getting up when you were about to go to sleep. LOL Seriously though, what absolute stunning photos you took. I loved them all. Great job Christine on the wonderful photo you took. I know David & Cat enjoyed having you with them.
Love you! Mom
