Top 10 Random Wedding Images of 2011

AlexM — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:00:52 +0000

Weddings are kinda funny. You spend months panning every little details and then sometimes it’s just the random moments that end up sticking in your brain. Here are a few of those that I caught this past year.

(Voting open for about 24 hours. Winners announced on Monday February 13.)

Top 10 Mr. & Mrs. Images 2011

AlexM — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:16:42 +0000

These are some of my favorite moments from last year. I love being able to tell the story of who a couple is in just one frame. It’s actually a bit harder to do that on their wedding than on an engagement session because so much of a wedding day is foreign. (Hundreds of people, strange environment, timeline of events to follow.) All of these things lead to making it tougher to find the real them. I feel like these images nailed each of these couples.

Just like yesterday voting runs for about 24 hours so hop on it. (Winners will be announced February 13th)

Christa & Jeff | Bella Sera Wedding Photography

AlexM — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:12:45 +0000

This past Sunday I shot my first wedding at Bella Sera Ranch and I loved it. I can’t wait to get back there. (Yes, I’m looking at you Chesley & Andy). Anyway, all you brides out there in the Palestine/East Texas area really should go out and take a look. They have an amazing venue. Here is a shot of their historic style Chapel.

Christa brought plenty of blingdom to the day.

A few from their First Look.

They read their vows off their phones & after the minister pronounced them man and wife they updated their Facebook status to married.

As always, CMB DJs did an amazing job.

You two were so much fun. Thanks for trusting me with your day.

Rachael & Daniel | Wedding Photography Lake Tyler Petroleum Club

AlexM — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:48:28 +0000

30 minutes after hanging out with Rachael & Daniel they became some of my favorite people. It was an honor to capture the launch of their marriage and I loved seeing them fall more in love with each other as the day went on. (Side note: To all you Tyler brides looking for a place to get married, you should visit Lake Tyler Petroleum Club.)

Because she is awesome, Rachael had a custom record made for Daniel with all of their wedding music on it.

Because he is awesome, Daniel had Adalante Catering make him a record cookie cake.

Daniel updating his Facebook status right before their First Look.

A very very serious group of groomsmen.

The great thing about pulling the ring out of a Cracker Jack box is having a snack for the rest of the wedding.

Cracker Jack or Record? Which is your favorite? Sound of in the comments.

It was my first time working with Lone Star Light & Sound and I loved them. They did everything a great DJ should do. Call them and book them.

Thank you two for being awesome. I hope some of your awesomeness rubbed off on me.

Happy December Everyone!!! We are starting a new “Rewind” tradition. Each month I’m going to do a little quick interview with a couple celebrating their 1 year anniversary. This will give you up and coming married people a little peak into what your world might look like in a few months. I knew Kristi & Kiley would be the perfect couple to get the ball rolling.

What have you liked most about your first year being married?
Building a home And life together

Give us your best cheapo/fun married date idea.
Going swimming on the lake

What’s been the hardest part about being married?
Learning each other, what not to do and say

What surpassed you the most? (Either good or bad.)
The love we have for each other.

What have you fought about most and why?
Little things (what way to put the toilet paper on the holder)

So if I remember right, you guys don’t Facebook. Why is that?
We stay in touch with friends other ways and everyone else doesn’t matter.

Do you have any advice for couples about to take the plunge?
Have fun with each other laugh and love through everything.
