There were equal parts humor and sweetness throughout the day, and I'm glad I had my team (Lauren and Mere) with me to capture it all.<br /><br /><br /><br />I love the lighting in this shot as Chelsey is getting dress with help from her mother.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_012.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Lovely vintage Allure lace dress" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_012.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />The first meeting was really sweet. I decided to shoot from a different angle than I normally do, with a super wide 16mm (instead of my 85mm)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_013.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="bride and groom see each other before the wedding" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_013.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_014.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="bride and groom's special first meeting" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_014.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />And, because I know y'all wanna see us on that merry-go-round... here I am, trying not to throw up. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_016.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="unique idea for bride and groom portraits" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_016.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />How many bride and grooms can pull this off? The LIFT!! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_022.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Bride and groom do the lift" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_022.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I wore some purple suspenders to this wedding, but the ring bearer still totally out-classed me. What a CUTIE!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_023.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="ring bearer style with suspenders" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_023.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />But I'm pretty sure the bride's father (one of the nicest men I've ever met) out-classed us all. Dapper!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_027.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="bride escorted by her father" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_027.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I can't look at this image for too long or I get choked up.

He brought up mom for a very sweet moment shared between the bride and her parents.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_045.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0822_chelsey2/Oklahoma_vintage_outdoor_wedding_045.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Okay, enough of the sappy... let's get happy!
