Everybody Has a Story: Day 2-Jeff & Lisa

Our original shoot we had scheduled for today did not go through, and we tried to throw together another one, but it was too short notice, so we decided to post a wedding we did a couple of weeks ago--and Jeff and Lisa have a story to share.

Lisa works with Shelley and she asked Shelley if we could photograph their wedding. It was a beautiful, informal and intimate wedding. It was nice to go to a wedding that felt a little more stress-free than normal. Both Jeff and Lisa have children, so it was fun to see the dynamic of two families coming together, especially since the two of us have had that experience, and have had a good experience. It was so sweet to see Jeff's daughter, Dani, give Lisa a frame with pictures from the wedding that she hurried and printed after the ceremony.

Jeff and Lisa met in a gym in Rexburg (no surprise since they are both totally buff). Before Jeff and Lisa actually talked to each other, Lisa and her daughter, Jordan, started calling Jeff "that bodybuilder guy". One day Jordan went to the gym without her Mom and she and Jeff started talking. Well, that was Jeff's "in". The next time he saw Lisa at the gym, he asked her out. Jeff was so nervous and shy! Poor guy--Lisa had no idea how nervous he was and actually said she wasn't ready to date yet (she had just gotten out of a bad relationship). So Jeff said "let me know when you are ready to go out" and went home. He thought that what he said sounded so dumb that he drove back across town to the gym to clarify! Apparently it worked like a charm! According to Jeff, he asked Lisa out for 3 weeks before she finally accepted. Hmm...wonder what the real story is!

Congrats you two!



Lisa's ring is a beautiful tanzanite and diamond ring






Waiting for the big moment and chilling with the boys!








This has got to be the shot of the day because there is quite the story behind "the look" Lisa is giving Jeff! If you want to know, you'll have to ask Lisa!
