i loved the super chillaxed wedding day these two had.  lots of friends. lots of family. lots of fun.

this note that jim gave lindsey the morning they started their marriage was perfect for a photo of her rings.

big shout out to rayven of life is pretty event planning and make up for making the day happen and people look awesome.

casa flora did a killer job on the flowers. (as always.)

who doesn’t love a first look?

i always love it when couples cheer after they are married. one of my favorite photo moments.

hey look.  tricks with ring bearers.

a little hook em / whoop battle.

cmbdjs making the dance off happen.

October was a great month last year.  Perfect weather.  Tons of great sessions.  Many many favorite photos.  Feast your eyes on this bumper crop of stunning imagery.

Gina & Kevin had an incredible wedding at Metro Church in Longview, TX. Here are a some of my favorite shots from the day.

The more weddings I work, the more I realize a bride’s shoes are almost as important to her as the groom. :)

These two had a killer First Look.

Casa Flora Flowers did an amazing job with the arrangements. You should book them.

This is Kevin’s daughter. I let her sneak into the balcony to watch their First Look. She started tearing up. Then I started crying. Then my photos were out of focus. It’s OK though. Right? :)

Tasty and delicious cakes from Chez Bazan. You should also book them. :)

You can’t really see her in this shot, but Lydia Covey was also at the wedding rockin’ her harp. If you are looking for a harp at your wedding, she is your girl. :)

The whole family.

Gina & her dad had a great father daughter dance.

The Chad Evans Band did an AMAZING job at the reception. If you are in need of band you should really check them out. (903.736.6868)

The Mug Machine was also there. Those will be posted later this week.

I knew about 5 minutes into their rocking engagement session that this would be a great wedding.  On the wedding day I think I was there for almost 10 hours or so and got so many great images that picking which ones to blog was harder than usual.  

Linsey wore some amazingly pink shoes!  

Cayde was relaxed and laid back all day long.  

A few shots from their “First Look” before the ceremony. Super fun. Super romantic. Super intimate.  

I really like how this one came out.  

A good groom never takes his eyes off his bride. :)  

I got this shot by leaning out my window as I was driving behind them.
Driving skills = Bad. Photography skills = Good.  

The reception was a blast. Here’s a small taste of how much fun it was. (I LOVE the black and white shot of Linsey dancing with her Grandfather.)
