Two quick images from Laura and Chad’s great wedding at The Belgium House in Longview.

How amazing is this cake from Edible Art? Seriously? A drum that you can eat? Awesome! If you are looking for a cake for a wedding or any other occasion you have to look into Edible Art. I interviewed them a few months back on the site, click here to read and find out more about them.

Here is one from their First Look.

Laura and Chad were pretty much smiling all day long. I had a great time and can’t wait to go through all their images.

Congrats you two.

Hey, I just found out that one of my weddings is being featured on this great new website called Hot Pink Brides.  They only feature cool photographers so the fact that I’m on there may be an exception.  :)  It probably has more to do with how great Amanda & Royce’s wedding at the Belgium House was and less about my photography. :)  Anyway, click here and view their post and take a look around and I’ll bet you can find some ideas for your own wedding.

As I was working on this post I got an E-mail from Amanda who is on her honeymoon in Jamaica. It was neat to hear from her while editing the images, but kinda frustrating to hear from here because she is in Jamaica. :)

Anyway, on to the images….

From the get-go I knew it would be a great day. Amanda was all smiles as she got out of the car.  

The first thing she did was offer me a cookie. (It’s bad luck to NOT eat a cookie a bride offers… right?)  

This is a journal that Royce and Amanda have been writing in the past few months. They had phrases from it hung all over the place as decorations. Super cool stuff.  

I really love this shot. Way back in 1991 Royce had a dream about seeing his wife walking down a set of spiral stair cases. He wrote about it in a journal at the time and they had that phrase hanging at the spiral stair cases at The Belgium House.  

Royce is one of those guys that other guys just can’t stand. He’s good looking, funny, writes in journals, is super polite.  Basically everyone likes him. I’m thinking of getting t-shirts made that say “I wish I was Royce”.  

Did I mention Royce sings? Him and Amanda pretty much had everyone in tears.  

How cool is this thing?!? Again, parts from the journal, mixed in with some stunning Alex M Photography. :)  

These next few images are just some of the may many incredible details and decorations that Amanda did. If you can remember form her bridal session, she likes pink. I’m going to give you some space to get ready for the pink overload that follows.

Venue: The Belgium House

For the record, if you check back to their engagement session post, I predicted this would be a uber-cool wedding.
These few will have to hold you over for now. I’m just warning you now, when come back on Wednesday, you’ll wanna be sitting down. :)  

We had a blast shooting Amanda’s session. We started out at The Belgium House, they are getting married there in a few months, and then we headed into downtown Longview.

I think my favorite part was getting out of the car at our first stop. I was getting my gear out and I overheard Amanda telling her mom. “It’s OK mom, just trust him, they will be great.” :)

By the end of the session I think I had won her over because her mom was pointing out dirty grungy trucks for us to use in the shots.  

Alex really really likes the next two shots. :)

Amanda’s color for her wedding is hot pink. :) She had a few pink accessories that she was planning on using, but while we where at the laundry place a cab pulled up.
A cab sent from heaven above. (I’m thinking they should book it as their get away car.)  

Another shot I have a crush on, and it was not even a location I picked out. :)
