I had a great time at the Villa di Felicita in Tyler, TX shooting Katherine & Sean’s wedding.  Here are just a few of my favorites from the day.

Katherine& her dad share a treat from the candy bar.

The tasty and fancy cakes were done by the umber talented ladies over at Edible Art.

Some First Look goodness.

The flower girl spent a few minutes scratching Katherine’s back and relaxing her before the ceremony.

If you look over to the right of the photo you can catch a glimpse of RuthAnne.  She was rockin’ the harp and did a swell job.  You should book her for your wedding.

Of all the weddings I have shot at the Villa di Felicita, this was the first I ever saw or heard an airplane fly over.  I’m assuming it was heading towards the island for the LOST series finale.

CMB DJs kept everyone dancing the whole night long.

The Mug Machine was also at the wedding so be on the lookout for those later this week.

So I’m thinking of starting a new little tradition here on the site.  Once a month I’ll feature my 10 favorite images from a same month 1 year ago.  (Wow, I feel like I made that sentence much more confusing than it needed to be.)

I think it’s important for brides to see a “history” of work.  Anyone with a decent camera can shoot a good image every now and then. However, shooting a wedding week in and week out is what really helps me “know” what’s going to happen next on your day.  So, this is a way of showing you that I’ve been shooting for a little while, and it’s also a way for my past brides to flaunt their stuff on my blog again. :)

Anyway, here they are, in no particular order, my favorite images from April 2009.

I have a few new bells and whistles on my site and one of them is fancy schmancy slideshows.  I thought I would try one out with one of my favorite couples.  That’s Leigh & Tong, I’m talking about you!

Enjoy the slideshow guys.  (You can also click the little box on the lower right and make it super big. :) )

Come back tomorrow for and interview with one of my most-est favorite wedding vendors.

Typically what you get from this site are photos of weddings that just happened, or my opinion on wedding related topics. But, as important as my opinions are, maybe you should hear from real couples who have been married a little while. So I thought it would be fun to start interviewing past brides and grooms. To actually meet up and sit down with these couples to see if they have any advice for you brides who are still in the thick of this wedding planning process.

What better way to start this series than with one of my all-time favorite couples: Lauren & Brent.

These two had an incredible wedding at the Villa di Felicita in Tyler about a year ago. I visited their place in College Station to chat about the wedding process, photography, and even asked them if they still like their wedding photos. (You’ll have to watch the video to get the answer.) 

Also, many of you may not have seen their wedding images so here are just a few of my favorites.

So, I’m sure most of you will remember Kim and Josh from their amazing wedding at the Villa di Felicita a few months ago. I had a bit of fun with her album before I shipped it to her and when she received it, she returned the favor and sent in pictures! Any other brides out there who think you can top Kim taking her album tailgating feel free to send in some photos and I’ll show them off as well.

(Let’s hope someone remembers to cover the album’s eyes before the Oklahoma State game tomorrow.)
