Gina & Kevin | Wedding Photography Longview, TX

Gina & Kevin had an incredible wedding at Metro Church in Longview, TX. Here are a some of my favorite shots from the day.

The more weddings I work, the more I realize a bride’s shoes are almost as important to her as the groom.

These two had a killer First Look.

Casa Flora Flowers did an amazing job with the arrangements. You should book them.

This is Kevin’s daughter. I let her sneak into the balcony to watch their First Look. She started tearing up. Then I started crying. Then my photos were out of focus. It’s OK though. Right?

Tasty and delicious cakes from Chez Bazan. You should also book them.

Wedding Photography Gladewater, TX | Salem & Chris

Well, with First Look Week behind us, it’s time to move on to new weddings again. What better way to do that with Salem & Chris. These two had a great wedding at the Southern Hills Golf Club in Gladewater.

Question: Will it be a good wedding or a bad wedding if 10 minutes after showing up the groom is at the bar?
Answer: Good wedding.

Casa Flora out of Longview did an amazing job on Salem’s bouquet.

Chris helping his son get ready for the big day.

What’s this? A First Look? What a great idea.

A few quiet moments alone before the crazy rush of the wedding day.

Question: Garter practice or digging for pine needles?
Answer: Pine needles

I’ll be honest. The nice guy in me was just enjoying the moment. The evil photographer in me was hoping they fell in the pool for AWESOME photos.

Chris and his best man pretend they are in the Sopranos.

These crazy women had a few dance numbers the performed for everyone.

Question: How good is DJ Casey Brown of CMB Music?
Answer: So good he had TWO dance floors going. ( there were people dancing at both ends of the reception. Crazy stuff.

Wedding Photography Longview, TX | Linsey & Cayde

I knew about 5 minutes into their rocking engagement session that this would be a great wedding. On the wedding day I think I was there for almost 10 hours or so and got so many great images that picking which ones to blog was harder than usual.

Linsey wore some amazingly pink shoes!

Cayde was relaxed and laid back all day long.

A few shots from their “First Look” before the ceremony. Super fun. Super romantic. Super intimate.

I really like how this one came out.

A good groom never takes his eyes off his bride.

I got this shot by leaning out my window as I was driving behind them.
Driving skills = Bad. Photography skills = Good.

The reception was a blast. Here’s a small taste of how much fun it was. (I LOVE the black and white shot of Linsey dancing with her Grandfather.)
