Kendra and Jeff.
This is the first wedding I’ve photographed where I’ve been part of the ceremony. Maybe other photographers do that a lot, but while I’ve photographed friends, Kendra is much more than that to me. I wouldn’t have had it any other way–it was just a treat to document these two. Not just because Kendra is one of my very very best women, but because their wedding day was full of love and beauty and a few torrential crazy rainstorms but mostly love and beauty. They weren’t ruffled by anything under the sun (or rain, as fate would have it!) and just flowed with happiness and excitement and wow it’s just great we get to spend our whole lives with the ones we love.
Our core group of soul sisters reunited and it felt SO good, celebrating such a joyful event with people who have shaped my heart so much. We may or may not have had a sleepover on the night of Kendra’s wedding reminiscent of the sleepovers twelve year olds have, giggling til all hours of the night. It was magical, to say the very least.
I feel tempted to share far too much…and so, I will.

Let me guess. You’re super in love and about to be wed and you want to make great photos. Let’s do it.
The colors in these photos are perfect. And Kendra is beautiful inside and out. Love it!
Congrats Kendra! Beautiful photos.
These are such beautiful photos of Kendra and Jeffrey. You did a wonderful job capturing their wonderful day! Thank you so much.
Oh. My Goodness. Brooke! These are so beautiful. I especially love the pictures of Jeff and Kenj at the temple. And the picture of Claire and Kenj. And they are all so beautiful and terrific.
Brooke, this is seriously one of my favorite weddings from you. It is perfect.
you are beyond talented Brooke! Kendra looked so lovely and happy! It makes my heart smile 🙂
On the very first picture, look how the hanger and the v-neckline of the dress form a heart! Nice
I’m just seeing this! Beautiful photos, Brooke! You captured everything flawlessly!
Ahhh, thank you so so much my friends! Your kind words mean the world to me.
Usually when I see the pictures you take I want to shout and scream and yell how incredibly talented you are. But the feeling I’m getting right now after looking through this post is that these pictures were taken by a confident, calm, capable photographer who knows so well what she’s doing that it all looks just effortless. I honestly don’t say this lightly, my dear: You are the best I’ve ever seen. And Kendra, gosh, could you be any more effortless in front of the camera? I think not. So much love, my dears. So much love.
