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?

Denise first came across my photography when hunting for a photographer for her sister in law.  She then convinced Mellisa & Ross to use me for their wedding. (I think she just wanted to see me in action before booking.)  So, when she got engaged I was super pumped that she gave me a call to come tell her story.  I love this family and feel totally at home when I’m around them.  Lots and lots of images to follow from their wedding at Amber Springs near Houston.

Her dad spent so much time working on his speech for the reception.  I love this frame of him.

Good times at their First Look.
Josh is s total natural with kids.

Party bus heading towards the reception.

I’m pretty sure there is an Aggie joke somewhere in this frame.

Whoop.

If you look towards the lower right of this image you can see Brent McKellar of McKellar Productions creeping in the darkness.  I can’t wait to see all the video goodness they got.

If I were forced to shoot Audrey & Cody’s Elmwood Gardens wedding every weekend for the rest of my life I’m sure I would get tiered at some point but it’s hard to imagine.  I LOVE this couple so much as well as all the people in their circle.  Super super kind hearts and the type of people that make my job the best ever.

True story: This was Audrey’s “something blue”.

Her sister may have teared up as Audrey went off for her First Look.

Audrey likes horses.  Horses like flowers.

Check out all the beautiful people in beautiful clothes looking beautiful.
I think when both parents walk the bride down the aisle it’s kinda super cool.

Thank you two so so much for trusting me to capture your 1st day of marriage.  You are awesome.
