Also, here is a list of some of her wedding vendors which she loved so much as well as a few favorites of mine from each of her sessions. :)

Jean, James, & The Purple Wedding
Jean, James, & The Purple Wedding

Sometimes when I get to a wedding and a bride had told me her color it’s still hard to “find” her color.  There was no doubt Jean wanted a bit of purple in her day. :)


These two had one of the sweetest First Looks in a while.  They just stood there and hugged and talked for quite a while.


I’m not sure who drew their gun first, but there was a bit of a stand off for a while.  Things got tense. :)


Flying bridesmaid.

Impromptu Dance Party.

This was James as they left the ceremony and were heading down the hall for a few minutes alone. :)

Also, a big thanks to Stephanie Jamison for coordinating this wedding.  You can reach here at (903) 922-6896 or follow her on Twitter where she is always giving out great little planning tips.

Katherine & Sean | Wedding Photography Tyler, TX

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.
