July 19, 2008 Wedding

I loved this Bride's Cake. It came from Bumdoodler's. As always they did a great job!

The second shot is that cool feature I like to play with on the camera.

A unique shot from the grooms room. The photographer laid

on the ground below the girls as they looked over her.

The favors around the rose petals were a film strip of the bride and groom which gave

the guests details on where to view their wedding photos. To kick off the dance the

bride's grandparents led The Grand March. This picture is towards the end when they

make the "bridge". It was alot of fun to watch!

July Events

Here are some photos from some of our 8 weddings we've had in July!!

This is our July 12th wedding. The bride graduated from A&M so the song at the end of the ceremony that they walked up to was the Aggie War Hymn. It was quite cool I have to admit!




July 19, 2009 Wedding

Catch Up

Just a couple of pictures from our June 7, 2008's wedding. The set up was simple but I loved the burst of colors and the little touches here and there. It really made the whole place look like a million bucks!

Ceremony

Vail/Pierce Wedding

Sunday was the Vail/Pierce wedding! I didn't get a chance to meet the bride until about a month prior to her wedding because she was living in Virginia working for a senator's wife! How exciting is that?! Tabitha and her mother were very pleasant to work with. Her color theme was yellow and ivory. She kept things simple but very classy.

Centerpiece
She had a beautiful four tier wedding cake. She also had two smaller cakes that she presented to two very special couples. Her wedding date fell on her older sister's 5 year wedding anniversary and her Aunt and Uncle's 30 year wedding anniversary. The bride and groom presented the couples with their individual cakes along with a special dance. The parasols were a very nice touch and they were fantastic for photos.

There was a threat of rain (finally) prior to her outdoor ceremony start time, but lucky for us it passed. You couldn't have ordered more perfect weather for a July wedding in Texas! Here are some photos that we took with our brand new high res. camera.

a neat filter we found on our camera!
