Rachelle & Luke’s Engagement Session

Rachelle and Luke met at the Koh-Koh-Mah Encampment, and he brought her back to this location last March to propose on this bridge.

Candace and Joshua’s Wedding

Candace was (and still is) a beautiful bride, but there is a special story about Candace and Dinkledine Photography that most people do not know.  Candace was my first official senior high school photo model.  All of the many senior photo shoots since that time have benefited from what I learned in that first session.  But there is one more previously untold story, and that has to do with the next image.

It was getting late in the photo shoot, and we were losing our natural light. I asked Candace to sit on the back of the couch and look out the window. I told her to imagine she was watching for her “prince charming”  to come riding up.  She laughed, and I asked her to look at me, and I snapped this picture. The light level was low, so it is a little grainy, but it is still one of my favorite images.

So Josh, this is for you,  prince charming,  a little over five years later.

Now on to the the rest of the wedding photos.  Many of you have seen some of these images on Facebook.

Candace and Joshua were married in a beautiful sanctuary in the presence of many witnesses.

Below is a photo of the bride getting ready. Someone commented on Facebook , “The beautiful Candace”.  I would have to add that while Josh may enjoy her beauty, her proper spirit before the Lord is more rare than an attractive appearance.
