Jess & Rob on the happiest day of their lives.

Jessica’s dad gave Rob this guitar as a wedding gift.  He was giddy as a school girl.

Mother & Father of the bride.

I have no idea what happened here but I love it.

If you are wanting the Mug Machine at your wedding go here to find out more info.
If you don’t want the Mug Machine at your wedding you wedding probably is not cool enough. :)

Warning:  Lots and lots of photos.  Don’t start looking unless you want to end up jealous of Jessica, Rob, and their amazing little Elmwood Gardens wedding.

We’ll kick it off with a shot of her bouquet.  Barbara & Thomas from La Tee Da Flowers outdid themselves on this one.  I don’t know what any of these things are called, but together they look amazing.  (I kept telling Barbara that I was going to eat the “little tomatoes”

Jess surprised Rob with these cufflinks.  She had me print tiny photos of him and his father who has passed away.  When he saw them for the first time it was a pretty intense moment.

Some First Look magic.

Some First Look tears.

Jessica got her dress from Weddings AtoZ Bridal Boutique.  They are located in Tyler and some of the nicest dress people I know.


The cake was done by Crumbs & Crayons and the decorations by La Tee Da Flowers.

Rob likes pirates.


CMB DJs was there and Casey kept everyone on the dance floor.

If you look near the back of the group you’ll also see my friend and videographer Jeff Heimer.  I LOVE working with great videographers at weddings.  I’ve said it a million times, but I’ll say it again.  Get your wedding filmed by a professional.

I adore this shot.  It’s one of my favorite moments at weddings.  Right before they run out for their get-away is a time that couples connect again and have one last “moment” before the wedding ends.

Thank you two for your trust and excitement about having me photograph your wedding.
You were a blast to shoot and I still have hundreds of photos to show you. :)
(I’ve already seen them and they are pretty good.)

Check back Friday for some Mug Machine goodness.

This wedding was basically an explosion of happy people, pretty, flowers, and laughter.  I wanted to get something blogged yesterday, but my monitor broke and I just got a new one in so I’m only unleashing a few images. (With many more to come this week.)  I also loved getting to work with some of my favorite wedding vendors.  Many many thanks to Elmwood Gardens, La Tee Da Flowers, CMB DJs, JMH Pro Video, & Weddings AtoZ Bridal Boutique.

Here is one image from the wedding, their Mug Machine, & their Rock the Frock session.  Enjoy.

I love when couples choose to have sparklers for their get-a-way.  They are fun, they add light, and they give the whole day a sense of crazy love story movie ending.

My tip to you… If you are using sparklers, don’t skimp on them.  Get the longer ones.  The short ones burn out way to quick.  Sometimes before you even get to them.  Also, make sure your guest wait to light them till you are standing there ready to exit.  If not, you’ll end up running though a thick cloud of smoke. :)

Courtney & Jonathan had a great little wedding at Elmwood Gardens.  I gave a sneak peek a few days ago but here are a few more of my favorite images.

They had a fantastic First Look.  (Jonathan teared up a bit.)

Is she smiling because she is getting married to the man of her dreams or because the minister is using an iPad?
Yes.

Lydia Covey was there with harp in hand plucking, playing, and performing perfectly.
