These two had a super laid back wedding day at Tankersly Gardens.  It was my first time shooting there and I totally dug all the cool little locations I kept finding.  If you are looking for a place to get married near Mt. Pleasant you should give them a call.

Even though it was 6.3 million degrees outside these two had a terrific First Look.

Holly’s little boy was a-freakin-dorable.

You can tell that having that First Look totally made the moment Holly walked down the aisle  seem dull and boring to Jacob. ;)

Holly’s son was rockin’ the Toms.

So lately I’ve developed this strange and slightly embarrassing habit of crying when dads and their daughters dance to Cinderella.  Hopefully most people don’t notice, but fell free to point and laught at me if you are at a wedding and witness it live.  I do so love these moment though.

These ladies really really wanted the bouquet.

This guy really really wanted the garter. :)

Thank you two for a super fun day.  You were perfect.

Megan & Mitch get their Mug Machine on.

Hey you know how The Knot gives out all those fancy pants awards to the best wedding photographers?  Well sometimes those photographers have to get married and THEY have to pick a wedding photographer.  :)  Megan won a fancy pants award from The Knot this year.  She also got engaged and picked me to shoot her wedding.  Not an official award, but a pretty good compliment right? :)

Alrighty then. On to the images!

Old cameras + wedding rings = FUN!

Best Groomsmen Ever?

It was June.  It was hot.Reason #7,352 to get your wedding filmed: 25 years from now you can hear EXACTLY  how you were feeling 15 minutes before your ceremony.
Major props to Vanessa & Brent McKellar for their help and creativity on this wedding.
Megan & her dad had a super sweet dance. Gus from YourDJ did a terrific job.

The Mug Machine was also there in full force.  Check those photos out on Monday morning!

Boutineer.  BOOM!

The girls and their socks.

Major props to La Te Da Flowers for all the centerpieces and florals at this wedding.

The girls without sock.  (But with cool shoes.)

Love how they decorated the arch at the Villa di Felicita.  Can’t wait for a bride to do all three arches!!! :)

The Village Bakery in Tyler doing what they do.  Tasty too, not that I had a piece. ;)
About as “formal” as they get.
DJ Goldman made sure everyone danced for about 4 hours.  It was epic.

Vanessa & Brent McKellar were also their doing their video thing.  (Hit the bottom of this post to see their wedding trailer.)

Q: How do you end such a great wedding?
A: Crowd surfing.

You two were so much fun to shoot.  I had a blast spending the day with you and can’t wait to get you more photos.  Maybe your trailer from Vanessa & Brent McKellar can keep you satisfied for a little bit longer. :)

Becca & Brad are the type of couple I love working with.  They are always eager to take “more” photos and gave me plenty of time to do so on their wedding day.  It was a blast so no more chit chat from me.  Let’s jump to the images.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot.

There is nothing more romantic that sharing your First Look with just you and your soon to be spouse…..

… and you little sister creeping in the background.

Stay classy Brad.

Becca’s parents pulled her aside to pray with her.  Another one of my favorites.
I love that you can see her sister’s make up running down her face. :)
When he first saw here that day Becca’s dad went on and on about how beautiful she looked.  He then went on to talk about how beautiful his wife looked.  That is one smart man.

You guys were terrific, Mug Machine, and album goodness await you later this week!
