emily griffith: Kallie and Dan

You may remember Kallie and Dan from their engagement shoot last fall. How fun it has been to document this fun stage in their life! To begin to describe their wedding is impossible so let's just say it was awesome. They were married at Holy Name Catholic Church in Watertown, SD and the church was filled with lots of family and friends. A fun reception followed at the Watertown Event Center. They wanted lots of fun couple and wedding party photos so they gave us lots of time and creative freedom. Did I mention they are awesome? I've been loving wide open fields lately so they indulged me and tromped around in the tall grasses...they were real troopers! Kallie and Dan, thanks so much for the honor and joy to document this special day for you. May your life together be filled with tons of love, laughter, and joy! CONGRATS!

Kallie's dress was simple, so pretty, and so her!

Multitasking at its finest!

The first look! (I love this!)

Happy, happy, happy!

Oooo la la! Pretty lady!

They had this super cool old truck as transportation for the day! This truck has been in Dan's family for a long time!

Getting ready to walk down that aisle! (Deep breath, Dad!)

Pretty church

Married! :)

Kallie's sister and brother-in-law, Erin and Charlie welcomed this little one, Maria just a few weeks before the wedding! As a side note, we did her newborn pictures not too long before the wedding (I'm behind on blogging!) I just love how little she looks next to grandpa's hands!

I told you they were troopers. Who wouldn't be willing to lay down in the ~~weeds~~ tall grass in wedding clothes?

Just can't get enough of that old truck...

Dan's family had been hatching some butterfly cocoons. Between the ceremony and the reception, Dan's mom stopped home to check on them and wouldn't you know, one had hatched during the ceremony! You can see the wings aren't even open yet!
