Warning:  Lots and lots of photos.  Don’t start looking unless you want to end up jealous of Jessica, Rob, and their amazing little Elmwood Gardens wedding.

We’ll kick it off with a shot of her bouquet.  Barbara & Thomas from La Tee Da Flowers outdid themselves on this one.  I don’t know what any of these things are called, but together they look amazing.  (I kept telling Barbara that I was going to eat the “little tomatoes”

Jess surprised Rob with these cufflinks.  She had me print tiny photos of him and his father who has passed away.  When he saw them for the first time it was a pretty intense moment.

Some First Look magic.

Some First Look tears.

Jessica got her dress from Weddings AtoZ Bridal Boutique.  They are located in Tyler and some of the nicest dress people I know.


The cake was done by Crumbs & Crayons and the decorations by La Tee Da Flowers.

Rob likes pirates.


CMB DJs was there and Casey kept everyone on the dance floor.

If you look near the back of the group you’ll also see my friend and videographer Jeff Heimer.  I LOVE working with great videographers at weddings.  I’ve said it a million times, but I’ll say it again.  Get your wedding filmed by a professional.

I adore this shot.  It’s one of my favorite moments at weddings.  Right before they run out for their get-away is a time that couples connect again and have one last “moment” before the wedding ends.

Thank you two for your trust and excitement about having me photograph your wedding.
You were a blast to shoot and I still have hundreds of photos to show you. :)
(I’ve already seen them and they are pretty good.)

Check back Friday for some Mug Machine goodness.

This wedding was basically an explosion of happy people, pretty, flowers, and laughter.  I wanted to get something blogged yesterday, but my monitor broke and I just got a new one in so I’m only unleashing a few images. (With many more to come this week.)  I also loved getting to work with some of my favorite wedding vendors.  Many many thanks to Elmwood Gardens, La Tee Da Flowers, CMB DJs, JMH Pro Video, & Weddings AtoZ Bridal Boutique.

Here is one image from the wedding, their Mug Machine, & their Rock the Frock session.  Enjoy.

Jamie & Steven had a fantastic wedding at Lanes Chapel UMC in Tyler.  They are a quirky fun group and I loved being able to bring some of that into their wedding photos.

One of the little know benefits of having a First Look is your groom paying attention to what earrings you chose to wear. :)

This is one of my favorites from the day.

They danced out of the ceremony.

Jamie mentioned that one of the things she was looking forward to most about the wedding was getting to have meatballs at her reception.  I figured a photo was in order. :)

I have had a blast getting to know you guys.  Thanks for trusting me with your day and I can’t wait to show you more photos soon! :)

These two were crazy fun to shoot.  They were up for anything and have super great on camera chemistry. :)

This is an abandoned house that is on her parents land.  It was built like one million years ago and was the perfect prop.

Thanks for a great morning shoot.  Looking forward to your wedding!

These guys just got married and I’ll be showing you more images soon, but for now I had to sneak a few of my favorites to the site for your Monday morning view pleasure.

They had a fantastic First Look.

I love this little glimpse into what their kids will look like. :)

More to come later this week.
