Heidi and Jared have to be one of my favorite couples for 2011.   Their Christmas wedding was like a delicious holiday recipe - only theirs was made with equal parts of love, warmth, and excitement.   But, there was one other key ingredient that made everything extra special and that was Heidi and Jared’s continous laughter and genuine joy.  You’ll certainly be able to tell from their photos that they were having a wonderful time.  I would like to have Heidi’s enthusiam in a bottle – one that I could sip from when I needed a pick-me-up.

Heidi and Jared chose the incredibly fabulous Cedar House Inn for their wedding.   This year innkeeper, Cyndi, truly out did herself on the decorations, lights, and gorgeous details.  No wonder the Inn was such a hit on the holiday trolley tours…that, and all the visitors on the trolley got to yell, “Congratulations!” to Heidi and Jared as they posed for pictures.

I had a wonderful time shooting your wedding Heidi and Jared – your joy was infectious!  Many thanks for allowing me to capture your memories!

Enjoy….Robin

Heidi and Jared opted for a first look in the garden of the Cedar House Inn – loved that intimate moment with just the two of them.  Heidi’s mom, Mindy, couldn’t resist a kiss for her daughter as she prepared to leave her room looking gorgeous!

These beautiful ribbons on the ceremony table were used for the handfasting ceremony…such a unique way incorporate historic traditions in a modern way.

And that handsome clergyman in a kilt?  Why that’s hubby, Ian, doing the ceremony.

Here’s those beautiful smiles and laughter just beginning to light up the evening.

The Christmas lights at the Lightner Museum and Casa Monica hotel could not be missed as the sun was beginning to set…such a great background.

Even Heidi’s dad, Jeff, and Jared’s mom, Nita, took a turn dancing in the parlor of the Inn.
