Whimsical Winter Wonderland, Part 1

At long last, a post about Meredith and Aaron’s beautiful wedding!

Meredith and Aaron are high school sweethearts who met in band (she a horn player, he a saxophone), who then went to college together, and got engaged on Christmas Day 2011. A year and four days later, they got married in a winter wonderland at Still Water Hollow, on the first night of the cold snap that seized up the Treasure Valley for the past several weeks, surrounded by about a hundred of their family members and closest friends.

I mostly just want to share some of the gorgeous photographs taken by Kristen Fields of Bon Vivant Studios. Seriously — if you’re in the market for some beautiful, straight-from-a-bridal-magazine photography, talk to Kristen! (She works outside the Boise area as well.) And if you’d like additional services, like wedding planning or invitation design, check out Posh & Pristine Productions for the whole package! Meredith and Aaron were incredibly fortunate to have won a photography and coordination package via a Facebook contest — thank you if you were one of the people who voted for them! — and the day-of assistance we received was extraordinary, on top of the lovely photography.

The pictures really are worth a thousand (or more) words here, so I’m going to let them speak for themselves. Enjoy. All images are copyright Kristen R. Fields 2012, reproduced here with permission.
