two become one……… Kim and Richard

July 12, 2010

There is a beautiful transformation in a couple when the wedding planning has ended and the true marriage has began to blossom. For Richard and Kim a destination wedding was important not only to be unique but to be able to have Kim’s mother Marsha be apart of the wedding day as a whole. Both Kim and Richard live in New Zealand and traveled many oceans to our small town of Angels Camp to get married. Marsha Kim’s mother lives in Angels Camp and had the pleasure of planning their entire wedding. From the photographer, cake, venue, everything was set and all Kim and Richard had to do was arrive and enjoy their special day. It was remarkable to see how many people traveled from all over the world to watch the uniting of marriage as this couple pledged their love to one another. People came from countries as fare a New Zealand, England, Peru, New York, and New Jersey, it truly was a great mix of wonderful people.

In New Zealand the symbol of forever had been instilled in both Kim and Richard which created the theme of their special day. Kim’s dress was custom made with a New Zealand symbol for lasting love and forever. This pattern was then replicated in Richards tie joining them both in the tradition that means so much to them. As they both set foot on the journey of marriage and love, Kim and Richard plan on honeymooning in Figi where they both always dreamed of going. It was a amazing afternoon wedding although the heat caught up with us. I truly enjoyed photographing their wedding. Here are a few shots from their special day.
