If weddings were measured on a scale of 1-10 Brandi & Nathan’s would be a 14.

Much more to come later this week.

This is the last category of Top 10 images and it’s a good one.  Regardless of wedding venue, flowers, and all the planning that goes into a wedding day it’s ultimately about the two people getting married.  There is nothing I enjoy more than giving a couple a great photo of them on their wedding day.  Most of these came about because of them choosing to have a First Look.  It’s what allows us time to really have fun and capture some creative photos.

Since this is the last category I’m going to leave the voting open all weekend so get to work people.  check back Monday morning when the winners in each category are announced.  Each category winner will receive a 16×20 print of their winning image. So pick an image, vote, then get on your Twitter and your Facebook and make your friends come vote.

Here are the images.

I hope all of you had a great Christmas weekend.  I know many of us have to get back to the rat race today so I thought I’d cheer you up with some fancy looking photos.  I somehow forgot to do a rewind last month so you get a double dose today!  Here are some of my favorite images from November & December of last year.  Enjoy.

Castle on the Lake is one of my favorite venues in the area and it’s located just outside of Jacksonville, Tx.  I love when brides choose to get married at wedding venues because they are well… wedding venues.  They are built and put together to help your day go smoothly and their on site staff help take care of so many things you did not plan for or expect.  Here are a few shots of it as well as a new promo video Vanessa McKellar just put together for them.

One of the coolest things about Castle is their HUGE bridal suite.  This thing just blows away every other location.  If you have ever been a bridesmaid you know just how crowded these “prep” rooms can get.  Not the case with castle.  I shot a wedding with 10 bridesmaids getting ready in this room and there was still plenty of room for moms, aunts, and grandparents to come in and visit.  It’s awesome.

They have a couple of options for your ceremony.  One is a big a big tree.

The second is a cool rock wall they just built.

Finally, here is a video that Vanessa McKellar just shot.  Brittan is the bride you’ll see.  (La Tee Da Flowers did the flowers.)She’s also the owner and runs this place day in and day out.  She is super nice and will totally become your BFF as she helps you put together your wedding day.  Give her a call and get this placed booked! 903.721.3593.

I hope you are not to tired of Jessica & Rob.  I have one more post of theirs and it may be my favorite. :)  I was thrilled to be able to do a Rock the Frock session with them.  We did theirs the day after they were married.  (These can be done anytime after your wedding, but many couple choose to do them the very next day.)

They were about 15 minutes late to the session. (Insert newly-wed joke here.)  Regardless, we had a fantastic time shooting and I am loving these images.   If you are interested in adding a Rock the Frock session to your package, shoot me an E-mail and we’ll chat about the details.

Her bouquet from La Tee Da Flowers held up great.  (Way to go Barbra.)
