Kallen Photography: Ali & Graham

EDITED: Please check out the new blog at kallenphotog.wordpress.com to leave any comments. Thanks!

She's a flight attendant, he's a pilot. He asked her to play softball with his team, he asked her to join his Bible study group, he asked her to be his girlfriend, and eventually, surrounded by family and close friends (me!), he asked her to be his wife. And on April 16, 2011 they were married in one of the most touching, love filled, God-centered ceremonies I have ever witnessed.

And now my best friend is married!!! Ah! That's so incredibly exciting! I brought my camera along to capture this AH-mazing event, as well as all the excitement of the week leading up to it (watch for a future blog!). Graham and Ali love orange and purple, love. Almost everything they've ever given each other (cards, journals, gifts, you name it) have a purple and orange scheme...I just love it! It is so totally them! These were the obvious color choices for their wedding, and boy did they pop! With dark purple dresses and bright orange bouquets, WOW is all I can say! Simply beautiful.

Graham and Ali, I love you both dearly! Your wedding was beautiful, and perfectly you! I couldn't have imagined anything better!!

Ali's dad left her a very sweet note, that put a huge smile on Ali's face!

Her ring is just stunning, I love it! These purple shoes were her reception shoes, they had an "A" and a "P" on the back, for her new name, Ali Peterson!

Oh, Ali you are gorgeous! And so fun! You always make me laugh.

For her wedding gift, Graham had her new name put on her Bible (SOO special!), and wrote her a novel. It was all Ali could do to read it before the wedding, in between all of us wanting pictures and a little matter of putting her dress on. I just love her smile here though!

Ahh!! The dress!! LOVE it, love it. So perfect for her!

Look at those rockin' orange shoes!!

Gorgeous!! And sassy. :)

Mr. & Mrs. Peterson!!

First dance as husband and wife. I just adore the way she looks at him!

Father-Daughter, Mother-Son dance...such a special time!!

Details! Their programs were paper airplanes (so cool!), they mod-podged maps on mason jars, and had airplane making kits out of candy for the kids! LOVE their flying theme!! (And aren't those flowers gorgeous??)

Friends!

Such a gorgeous cake, made by Ali's sister Becky! Becky, you are quite talented!

I just love this series of pictures!

I don't know where the "gangsta" signs pictures originated, but they've become tradition! (As seen in the picture from Ben's and my wedding, with Ali on the bottom!)
