I love weddings where people know how to have fun.  Candace & Covy know how to have fun.  Need proof?  Check out the images from their kick butt day at La Toretta Resort & Spa in Conroe.

Huge shout out to Thalio Beckham for KILLING it on the makeup.
This guy was my favorite.
They did this super cool thing where they had people write them notes and they put it in a box that they will open on their 5 year anniversary.

The reception was a huge party and Jonny Black kept it going late into the night.

the past week was an absolute blast.  it kicked off with an incredible wedding at la toretta resort in conroe, the family and i then went down to galveston for a few days, and i just closed out the week with a killer wedding at elmwood gardens.  mucho more postage to come on these events, but here are little teasers of each of them.  boom.  boom. boom.

Deveri & Stephen make me mad because they live in New York.  I wish they lived closer so we could hang out more. A few weeks before their wedding I sent them a little something and got back this super nice thank you note.  The whole note was super nice, but the quote from Stephen on the back made me smile.

How great is that.  It made me want to try extra extra hard to make them fancy photos at their wedding.  I think it worked. :)  They were married and Elmwood Gardens and it was cool.  Check it out.

Good looking food.

OK, enough details, let’s jump to their First Look and a few of the portraits that they rocked.

By the way, i’m sure you have noticed how all the flowers look amazing.  I WONDER WHO COULD HAVE DONE THEM?

On to the reception.  Big shout out to Music on Wheels and Tyler Uplights for making everything look and sound good.

Here are some photos of a guy digging for something, guys reaching for it, and girls trying to catch flowers.  Also, that guy who caught the something was pretty excited. :)

 Thanks for trusting me with your day.  You guys rock.

crystal and robin had a great wedding at castle on the lake in jacksonville.  it was super chill and a heck of a party.  here are some of my favorites starting with some of the great work the flower girl did.

how crystal greeted robin for their first look.

my most favorite part about first looks are that it gives couples a chance to be themselves.  to be alone and really experience their wedding day and the emotions they have.  some couples cry, some laugh.  some do both.  :)

a little shoe change before the reception.

i’ll leave you with a peek at this image from the mug machine.  best. photo. ever?

i can’t believe i have not shared these yet.  candace and i had a blast shooting at la torretta lake resort and spa in conroe.  if you are in the area you have to spend a weekend there.  their engagement session was a blast, the bridals were so much fun, and their wedding is only a few weeks away.  i’m dying to shoot it.

take a peek at her engagement session here.
