MARRIED | Chris + Kelley

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

While most people think of camp, they think of those akward teenage years, first kisses, team building games, and kp duty (kitchen patrol).  You can probably remember your favorite summer camp leader, but only by their camp name- Opal, Irish, Wingnut, Honeybee.  What was your camp leader’s name?  To you, they don’t even have a real name- that was their real name.  Camps are now becoming not just a thing for your youth years, but brides are starting to bring that whole week of fun to their weddings.  Why not?  It’s crazy to see 100 people in less than 6 hours as they celebrate one of the most important days of their lives.  Why not bring in all your friends and family for a weekend of fun.  You get to bunk with friends, have bon fires with smores, and go on a scavenger hunt!  That’s what Chris and Kelley did for their wedding weekend up at Camp Campbell.

Chris and Kelley met at the newspaper agency.  They contacted me and shared that Camp Campbell recently revamped their camp venue in Boulder Creek and were planning on a weekend of it with a small crowd of friends and family.  I loved it.  I loved the idea that you get to enjoy your guest on either side of your big day.  I love nature and all the beauty the redwoods are when graced with a couple in love.  Camp Campbell was lovley.  It offers a sweet little chapel in a redwood grove and acres of beauty to explore with the couple.  Luckly, Chris and Kelly were more than willing to spend sometime in the redwoods.  Not to mention the many DIY details Kelley poured into her day.

MARRIED | Chris + Lisa at Kennolyn Hilltop Hacienda

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

Nothin’ like a little Sex in the City playing in the background while you get ready for your wedding day.  In the end, Carrie marries Mr. Big, so why not?  This is Lisa’s happily ever after…  She marries Chris.  The two met online through a sister company of Match.com.  Think Match.com but with high security.  Lisa is a teacher and had to keep the kids from cracking into her social life.  It happens.  Her dad is a judge and had the honor and joy to both walk his daughter down the aisle and do their vows.  We had nice warm cloud cover for pretty soft lighting and a sweet little shower right before we sat down for dinner.

A fun little background piece that her dad shared during the ceremony was that Lisa went to Camp up here at Kennolyn growing up and now she was back.  This time it was no summer fling.  She was here for the real deal.

Chris + Lisa.  So much fun.  So kind.  So in love.  These two are two great people and you know it when you attend a couple’s wedding as a guest and hear the toast from their loved ones gushing about them.

I told you they’re fun!  They love going for the big cheese photos.  In fact, Chris went all out and rented a photo backdrop of a forrest with a bear costume for guest.  So fun.

Oh, but they can do the traditional…very well.

You guys are going to make the best partners and the best parents! Many blessings to you both.
