A Different Kind of Wedding

This was supposed to be a back yard wedding and with all the rains and after the back yard flooded, it turned into a very cramped indoor wedding. Mercifully by the time the wedding was just about to begin, the rains stopped and things begin to dry outside though not near enough to have the ceremony outside, it was dry enough to take some pics. At least everyone took it in stride and enjoyed the evening...

Ringing in the New Year

This year, me and the hubby spent New Year's Eve shooting a wedding for a terrific couple in Magnolia at The Cowboy Church. This family is so awesome, I can't even tell you. For the first set of engagements, Janet, the bride's mom, invited my kids out to swim at their house and made dinner for us all while I was out with her daughter and future son-in-law. AND, as a thank-you for agreeing to shoot this wedding on the holiday, they got us a fabulous room for the night (see personal blog for those pics). I had a wonderful time and would do it all over again. I know Janet & Amy have been waiting sooo patiently for this preview, so enjoy ladies!
Isn't this a rockin chandelier? If you're gonna call yourself The Cowboy Church, you'd better be ready to back it up!

So I personally ADORE this shot.

Another favorite...

All the girls had matching (if not painful) black & white polka dot pumps...so cute!

These candlelit mason jars lit the path from the main road up to the church.

Amy's mom spent forever on these chocolate "W"s for the reception, but what a terrific idea. I didn't get to eat mine and then forgot it, but Janet says she's got a few extra...yay!

All set for a par-tay!

The cake was lovely, but I really liked the topper myself....

First dance, the way they look at each other is so sweet!

Daddy's girl...

Who knew Zac was such a great singer? He sang Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" during the reception. I now can add this talent to my list of reasons why I like him!

I almost got a waitress in big trouble for this shot minutes before midnight...

Zac designed this ring for Amy himself...

Happy New Year!!

Waiting for them in their suite...

Awe...Mom and FallYn put in some serious effort and I know that Zac & Amy know how loved they are.

Of course Mom & Dad are now completely broke, but what a great party...hahahahaha!

Sneak Peek Mr. & Mrs. Beierman

I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely couple's wedding this past weekend and I cannot get over how incredibly hospitable the clients I am blessed with are. These families were so welcoming and agreeable and Marissa even tried to calm my nerves with her champagne when my beloved favorite camera took a header out of the back of the car and bounced to it's death on the pavement. Since I have great insurance, I refused to let that little mishap get me down and went about the business of capturing this very special day. I truly feel these two are in it for the long haul and I wish them all the happiness life has to offer them. Enjoy your preview, Mrs. Beierman (and you too, Brad)!

Mr. & Mrs. Boze

This past weekend we drove to Belton, TX right outside Waco for the wedding of one of my beautiful brides to a wonderful man that I know will love her for the rest of her life. It was quite a ways to drive but it was so worth it! These two families along with their guests were just such sweethearts! I know that the Bozes are off on their cruise, but if I know Marci, she is still checking the blog every chance she gets so I have several to post for her that I think will make her smile! Hope you're both enjoying smooth sailing and I will talk to you when you get back, but until then enjoy these moments from your big day!
