Beautiful, Intimate Home Wedding in Mt. Shasta

The intimate wedding at Kristina and Jed's Mt. Shasta home early this spring was so unique and beautiful. It's the only wedding I have photographed that I was asked specifically not to photograph at all during the ceremony. The couple really wanted to be in the present moment without any distractions. It was probably the first time I have ever really been able to listen intently to a couple's vows. Usually I am so focused on my job, that I don't hear anything that is going on during the ceremony:).

Their words to each other were incredible. Both of them are poets and put so much thought into their vows. I shed some tears during them and had to be ready to capture the moment just after the kiss of their guests tossing confetti as a congratulations!!!
