What a Way to End the Year!

Posted on July 20, 2013 by Samantha

We had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at the end of the year for one of our friends from church. We always see it as an honor when a friend wants us to be a part of their special day. It was a small ceremony where the attendants were the bride’s sister, and the groom’s sons. The love we witnessed that day was evident everywhere we looked. At least we live here in the south so when we went outside to take pictures, it wasn’t too cold. The bride even had a lovely fur shawl to keep her warm.

Last Minute Bliss

Posted on June 21, 2013 by Samantha

When one of our photographers got married last year, we were asked if we had time to shoot another wedding in the area two days before. So it was a huge week of weddings. Not only did we find out about this wedding last minute, the bride and groom put the whole thing together in a month! When the bride is from another country, and the visa gets accepted, you only have a short amount of time to pull everything together. So even though the bride had only one person come from China, the entire night was full of love and fun. The bride even changed into a traditional Chinese dress for the reception. And I have to admit, in all the weddings I’ve attended and photographed, this was the first one where I started tearing up during the speeches.

This wonderful couple had the best smiles around! And they were surrounded by great smiling family and friends. From the fun time of learning roles at the rehearsal, to stealing a private moment together under the trees this day was filled with love. To make the day more unique, the toasts were opened to all their guests. Many excited blessing of joy were bestowed upon the newlyweds!

Small Local Wedding

Posted on April 13, 2013 by Samantha

One of the great things about living in Marietta is being so close to the Marietta Square! We’ve done a few family shoots there, but this was our first wedding! Even though it was toasty outside, we had a lovely day photographing this wonderful wedding at the Marlow House. From the small, private ceremony to the exciting sparkler send-off, it was a fantastic first Marietta Square wedding. We can’t wait for more!

Fly down to southern Florida in the middle of winter, invite the sunshine and you’ll have a perfect beach wedding! This unique couple had homemade bouquets, boutonnieres and a ceremonial arbor at their morning beach wedding.

All kinds of love at this outdoor wedding.

Giggles for those with them and butterflies for those who are looking down on them. This wedding was filled with love in all forms and two hearts were joined in a new family this beautiful fall day!

Last fall we photographed a Catholic wedding and captured some tender moments, including the surprise shower the flower girl received during the blessing of the rings!

1st Anniversary Do Over

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Samantha

This bride and groom had big plans on their wedding day for where they wanted to take pictures. The plan was to go to their favorite places around St. Louis and get a lot of outdoor shots. Well, Mother Nature had different plans. It rained. So, we showed up for their 1st anniversary and went to all the places we didn’t get to go before! It was a lot of fun running around the city, and being able to see how much joy they had after their first year of wedded bliss.

Sweet with Sentiment

We returned to Texas and braved the heat to photograph the couple from our country engagement shoot. The tiny chapel was decorated with light pink roses resting in mason jars, and an old truck was parked outside to whisk them away. They had personalized cook books, peach jam, and mason jar mugs for all their guests to take home. Overall, it was another cute and customized country night!
