tara & justin

tara & justin wanted to push the creative envelope in the order of kern-photo tradition for their wedding day photos. and we had heaps of fun doing so. justin and several of his groomsmen just got back *safely* from iraq which made the occasion even more momentous. they are both are incredibly spiritual, which is so inspiring to find in a couple. prayer was a huge party of the ceremony held at the rockland community church. guests shared in the fun at the reception 2,000 feet down the hill at the mt. vernon event center in golden, co. since the couple met at after a boulder boulder 10K race at jamba juice, guests were treated to a jamba all-you-can drink smoothy-fest! enough jibber jabber, here's the kern-photos:


tara was so calm getting ready.


what a beautiful bride!


fallen leaves replaced flower petals in honor of the season. what a cool idea!


the first kiss.



guys deserve to be guys during the 'groomals.'


middle school guys don't dream of weddings like the girls do, but we sure like our cars! justin will get 'major props' for display of this poster-size photo in his army barracks. very guy-ish!


the cake decor stems back for generations. now that is tradition!


ever see a 3-year-old break dance?
