Nic and Alli's Wedding at the LDS Temple in Medford Oregon

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off 2009 than with a wedding? Nic and Alli were married during the last few days of 2008 in the LDS Temple in Medford. This is the 2nd LDS wedding I've shot, and since no cameras are allowed in the temple, you won't see pictures from the ceremony. However we were lucky enough that it didn't rain so we did get some great shots outside of the temple. On the subject of rain, do you know that I still have a perfect record of never being rained out of a wedding? That is quite an accomplishment being based in the Pacific Northwest!

Ok back to pictures.

One of the best moments in an LDS Wedding is when the couple comes out of the temple and the whole family waits to great them. Nic and Alli were just beaming coming out of the doors!


Nic is in love with Alli.

Nic and Alli both come from big families. They have nearly 30 nieces and nephews, and this one loves to pose for pictures.

I love this picture. It is Alli sharing a moment with her mom while her Grandpa gets ready to take their picture. A lot of times I like to set up behind family members who are taking pictures because while they are getting their camera ready the subjects are natural and talking and laughing. It's a great way to capture moments like this one.

The sky wasn't raining, but it was very overcast so I tried to use that to my advantage with this shot and create a very dramatic picture by lighting Nic and Alli from the side and above.


The happy couple, walking in the cold!

After the temple ceremony we headed down to Klamath Falls for a reception at Alli's parent's house. I ran up to the balcony to get this slow shutterspeed shot.

This shot is just in the stairwell but I do like how it turned out. With the highlights just on their hair it kind of leaves the expression on their faces up to your imagination.
