i hit it off right away with these two.  they are everything i love about my couples. casual, fun, and totally into each other.  sports played a large part in both of their lives growing up.  their first year or so of dating was spent watching texas ranger and frisco rough rider games.  lindsey’s parents also have season tickets to the riders so this seemed like the perfect backdrop to tell part of their story.

i hate to do this to you lindsey, but for the record jim was 2-3 on popcorn catching while she was 0-3

lindsey’s parents have been married 30 plus years.  they sit in these seats together.  want to stay married 30 plus years?  sit close to each other often.

today’s category may be my favorite.  i love the random things that happen at people’s weddings.  these are not thing you can usually plan for, pintrest, or expect.  it’s just part of the organic day that is your wedding.  your wedding day is not made up from a checklist and timeline but all the tiny moments that happen along the way.  some of those tiny moments just happen to be more awesome than others. :)

ready set. go!

here are the entries.

i’m glad they had a first look.  if not this would have been the first time daniel saw rachel. :)  pretty magical eh?

a very well prepared father of the bride.

any bridesmaid who can jump, catch a bouquet and not spill her drink gets props from me.

no one plans for it to rain on their wedding day.  chesley did plan on smiling on her wedding day.

aggies.

i hear it gets hot under those dresses.

nothing says classy ring bearer like poopin’ in your pants.

the ceremony to reception shoe change is every brides favorite moment.

i’m not sure if he is holdin’ down the dance floor or if the dance floor took him out.

kids love me.

today’s category is the mug machine.  i love weddings with this thing.  it’s a great way to get the more “candid” side of your family and friends.

rachael & daniel’s wedding really was about having fun with all their friends.  i love this shot of them leaving.

christa & jeff were super super flirty flirty and affectionate.  i love this one from their first look.

audrey & cody really seamed to soak up every moment of their day. i love that audrey is laughing even though the horse just ate part of her bouquet.

lindsey & brandon had fun all day.  (this is the part where brandon had extra fun.)

lisa & mike were so so sweet to each other.  mike is a huge guy with such a tender heart.  i loved this moment alone they had.

tiffany & chris had the perfect sunset wedding. chris rarely took his eyes off her.

this shot of stephenie and jared leaving the ceremony is one of my all time favorites.

christen & brandon may have been my most “romantic” couple.  i love this shot peaking through the leaves during their first look at elmwood gardens.

cassie and kinsey may have laughed more together on their wedding day than any couple i ever photographed.  (that is a great sign for their marriage.)
rory is basically the man every father wants his daughter to bring home one day.  during his first look he kept talking about how gorgeous lisa is.
(huge bonus points for him wanting to see every detail of her dress.)
