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.
We are half way through our 25 tips on planning your wedding and today’s guest post is from Barbara of La Tee Da Flowers in Tyler, TX. Here are jsut a few shots of her amazing work.
When I asked her for some flower tips this is what she had to say…
I’m often asked this,
What should I bring when I have my wedding consultation?
Your consultant will be able to offer you more creative suggestions based on the information that you provide. Your florist will want to create a spectacular and memorable event just for you. Anything you bring will be beneficial. Pictures that depict what you have in mind are helpful. If you’ve seen pictures of things on line or in magazines, bring them. Bring a photo of your dress and a sample of the fabric or lace if you have it. Swatches and pictures of the bridesmaids dresses are helpful. Also bring pictures of your wedding location..especially if it’s a location that is new or not used before, such as your backyard or neighbors yard. Most florist will want to see the venue in advance of the wedding but this will help with the initial consultation. Also think of what “style” of wedding you want. If you are not sure, your florist can offer suggestions based on your wedding plans so far.
Here are some of the main things you should know before you visit us for the first time.
Where the sites are of your wedding and reception are?
What are the colors of your wedding?
What is the size of the bridal party?
What is the approximate guest count?.
What is your floral budget?

Wedding photography is kinda a funny thing. When brides book me, they are not really quite sure what they are paying for. If you book a great florist like La Tee Da Flowers, they can point to a photo or show you a real bouquet that will look exactly like your wedding flowers. You can go to Edible Art to taste and see the actual cake you will eat on your wedding day. But, photography is different. I can’t show you your wedding photos. I can show you other photos I have shot, but the actual photos from your wedding have never been created before. You are booking the PROMISE of beautiful photography.
You are booking me based on trust that I will deliver something unique.
When Lauren booked me, this shot of Drew was on the front of my site.
When Lilli booked me, this shot of Lauren was on the front of my site.
When Angela booked me, this shot of Lilli was on the front of my site.
When Nakitha booked me, this shot of Angela was on the front of my site.
(Nakitha’s getting married in October 2010 so you’ll have to wait to see her photo.)
Each of these shots is different. These brides didn’t book because they wanted the exact photo they saw on my website.
They booked because they trusted me to capture a shot that had never happened at their wedding.
Booking a wedding photographer is more about trust than a package price or actual photography.
You are booking me believing that I will show up 1 year from our meeting date and capture something never captured before.
You are booking me because you believe I understand what your day means to you.
You are booking me knowing that I’ll see something on your day that no one else can see or document.
You are booking me because I promise to give the memories you have yet to make a photo that matches.
It’s a trust and promise that I am honored to have.
To all my past and future brides, thanks for trusting me.
