jalene + lincoln wed, part II

are you so excited to see the rest of this wedding?! well, you should be. it was FAB-U-LOUS! jalene put a ton of work into all of the details and they were all just perfect. the reception was at rice eccles tower and i loved everything about it- the light was so beautiful and j+l really transformed the space to fit their style. 
needless to say, the flowers were gorgeous and i especially loved the vintage cameras at every table paired with their bridal and engagement photos. jalene is a photographer too, so their bridals, engagements and personal photos were a big part of the decor. jalene’s dad is also a photographer and ALL the cameras are his! it’s quite the collection, i must say. 

 jalene displayed old family photos and a lot of really beautiful family heirlooms like the typewriter (+ a beautiful letter written to lincoln!), sewing machine, vintage suitcases and books and mixed them with modern details, like the “FOR LIKE EVER” poster. genius, yea?

 
jalene’s ring- GORGEOUS (good job linc!). and these are probably some of my favorite ring shots. =)

such a pretty gift table- and the card holder? LOVE!

 it’s tradition for jalene’s cousins to perform a crazy dance number at all the family weddings. we were all rolling, and jalene and lincoln even jumped in for part of it. i seriously could have done a whole post just on their dance…

and then, j+l surprised everyone by perfoming a little dance of their own… the ross and monica dance from friends

 

it. was. HILARIOUS!!! and  you probably,definitely,cannot,should not miss Nate’s video clip of it too. you will even see my little head pop up at the end…
