sometimes couples ask me if the mug machine is worth having at their wedding.  we’ll, that depends…

do you have friends with long hair?

do you want your groom to make out with a bird?

do you long for world peace?

do you have any tiny sith’s in training?

did you bring your own guns?

do you have lots of friends?

if you answered yes to any of the above questions. you probably should go ahead and have the mug machine at your wedding.

give it up for catlin & jared.  these two had a super chill wedding at the belgium house last week.  take a look at these snazzy photos.

the belgium house provided all the florals for the day.  pretty nice eh?

how awesome are these cakes?!?!

(i totally forgot to get the cake person’s name.  i’ll add it later today.)

catlin shooting her dress in case i missed it.

if you need uplighting and people dancing you should call these two people.  they make it happen every time. Tyler Uplights / CMB DJs

and, what would a wedding be without the glory that is the mug machine.

i love shooting weddings when they happen at people’s homes.  it really gives them a laid back feel.  almost a throwback to a simpler time.  a simpler time when you have a famous country rock star legend at your house.  :)  that was jus the case when kay and wayman got married last month and they had joe nichols  play their reception.  needless to say it was a blast.

lori valenti from Event Services put the whole thing together and she did an AMAZING job.

and how about a bit of mug machine to top off the evening?

hey look everyone!  it’s gini & charlie!
and… for all you brides out there planning a wedding, you too can have this very same wedding.  just call up all these people.  (and joe)

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?

Ruth & Steve had a super chilled wedding at the Vista on Seward Hill in Austin, TX.  The whole day was about them, their friends, and having fun.  We started the day at the Aloft Hotel.  An uber cool spot to get ready.

On to the Vista for their First Look.
Did I mention The Mug Machine was also there in full force?

Ruth & Steve had plenty of “coverage” at their wedding.  Here I am shooting them along with the guys from Altered Weddings.  (The super talented video crew they had there)
