Trystan Photography: An Intimate Portrait.

And on the 7th day he rested…

7th Day Adventists believe (amongst other things) that the true sabbath (day of rest) falls on Saturday (like Jewish people do). This is technically correct, and lucky for us, because of that belief, it meant that we ended up getting one of our few Sunday weddings for 2009 from Megan and Matt!

I’m not entirely sure how much “rest” actually took place for these two and their families on that Saturday, but I do know that their wedding that Sunday couldn’t have been more fun, energetic, and adorable. And I’m not using “adorable” lightly here: Megan literally is adorable. I love the looks she gave Matt during their ceremony. Breathtakingly adorable.

And one of the neat things about this wedding is the style that they decided to go with in terms of their dress and tuxes. Megan and Matt are very funky, artsy-types. When I shot their engagement photos, Megan wore these kind-of-cowboy boots and a puffy princess-fairy dress and Matt wore a western pearl button-shirt and jeans. They looked very cool , very comfortable and totally made for each other.

So then I asked them if their wedding was going to exude the same bohemian mentality, and she intrigued me by saying: “You won’t believe the style of dress I went with. It’s classic. Not funky at all, I want to opposite for that day… but the reception and everything else is really funky..”

And she wasn’t kidding. She was stunning in her wedding dress, and the reception still had a touching live guitar/bongo performance (very well done), while nothing is more eclectic and exotic than The Boulder Tea House.

This wedding was perfect. I love the mixing of apparent opposites, in my food and my weddings:

My favorite food is Thai: Savory/spicy mixed with light/sweet.

My favorite weddings are like Matt and Megan’s: formal/classic mixed with artsy/exotic/funky.

Thank you both for choosing Charlotte and I to share in the amazing alchemy of your wedding. It was amazing!
