Jamie & Steven had a fantastic wedding at Lanes Chapel UMC in Tyler.  They are a quirky fun group and I loved being able to bring some of that into their wedding photos.

One of the little know benefits of having a First Look is your groom paying attention to what earrings you chose to wear. :)

This is one of my favorites from the day.

They danced out of the ceremony.

Jamie mentioned that one of the things she was looking forward to most about the wedding was getting to have meatballs at her reception.  I figured a photo was in order. :)

I have had a blast getting to know you guys.  Thanks for trusting me with your day and I can’t wait to show you more photos soon! :)

These guys just got married and I’ll be showing you more images soon, but for now I had to sneak a few of my favorites to the site for your Monday morning view pleasure.

They had a fantastic First Look.

I love this little glimpse into what their kids will look like. :)

More to come later this week.

More images from Jennifer & Jeb’s Villa di Felicita wedding in Tyler, TX.  Starting with the rings.

A few from their First Look.  Also, a big shout out to hair stylist Michelle Guzman (817.561.2666) and make up artist Tisha Corcoran (http://tcmakeup.com/)

The Village Bakery in Tyler brought a tasty cake. I will neither confirm nor deny that I had a slice. :)

Once we hit the reception Jeb unleashed a flurry of dance moves on everyone with a little help from Music on Wheels.
Thanks guys for a great day.

Jennifer & Jeb had a fantastic wedding this past Saturday at the Villa di Felicita.  Here are a few of my favorite images.  I’ll be giving them a full blog post in the coming days so stay tuned.

Our last guest post and wedding planning tips come from Ronda at the Villa di Felicita in Tyler, TX.  This is the place to get married in Tyler, in fact they are constantly booking brides from Dallas and other areas.  Ronda & her staff often work 2-3 weddings per weekend so they know quite a bit about planning your day and the best way for it to flow smoothly.  Here are a few shots of the Villa followed by her tips.

1. Book your wedding with Villa di Felicita!  :)

2. Have professional vendors the day of your wedding..

Photographers that can work quickly and on a timely manner – if you have someone who isn’t use to working fast, then it can cause your reception to not run as smoothly,  Also, there is no good substitute for a dj or band… trying to do music yourself or have it done by a friend does not usually work well.  Dj’s will make the announcing very clear and will help keep everything on schedule!

Same goes with florists, videographers, cake, ect!

3. See each-other before the wedding starts (have a First Look).

This will ease the nerves of both the bride and groom when they are standing up in front of 200 guests!  It can be done very private where the two of you are together alone seeing eachother for the first time (with your photographer).  It gives the two of you time to really take each-other in and see what he/she looks like.   It also helps with the time line of the reception so that you don’t spend extra time after the ceremony taking 45 minutes worth of pictures and have guests waiting on you to get into the reception!  It really has nothing to do with bad luck! :)

4. Stay calm and have fun!  Don’t look back on your wedding day and think… why did I get so upset about that?? Don’t sweat the small stuff and enjoy every moment of your big day!

5.  Have fun!  It’s a day that is dedicated to you.. the bride and groom!
