After about 10 minutes with these two they quickly moved to the top of my “Weddings I Can’t Wait To Shoot Next Year” List.  They were so fun and so laid back.  They love to go out on the lake so that’s where we started the session.  Here are a few of my favorites.

As we were driving along I became fascinated with Gini’s hair that was flying all over the place.  I’m loving these two shots.

Charlie would “propose” to Gini every so often with a ring pop.  One day he gave her this plastic ring without the sucker.  She complained and then he gave her the wrapper with her ring inside it.  Well played Charlie.  Well played.

Like I said, I’m giddy as a school girl to get their wedding.  It’s gonna be at The Belgium House in Longview & The Mug Machine will be wrecking havoc.  Save the date folks.

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.)

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.

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.
