Nathan is a commercial fisherman and spends months in Alaska catching amazing fish which Angelica is a art teacher down in San Antonio. Their wedding was so beautiful and Angelica’s dress and entire look was just to die for!

Okay, I will get on with the show and fill in some more details in the post.

‘

‘

I love that Angie went for a bright and bold lip color!

‘

‘

‘

‘

Angie’s style was absolutely impeccable. I loved this jeweled white head piece and then she found a gorgeous cathedral length vintage lace veil that was absolutely stunning.

‘

‘

‘

Their ceremony was held on the labyrinth at red corral ranch.

‘

‘

‘

One of my favorite little moments during the ceremony was when Nathan gently swept Angie’s hair.

‘

‘

‘

Okay, these bridesmaids had to be some of the most stylin ladies i have photographed. They all wore coordinating jewel tones hues of blues, purples and some neutral greys. Then they all had custom made hair pieces with birdcage veils (or russian bridal netting) adorned with beautiful peacock feathers.

‘
‘

‘

But Angie’s dress really stole the show. So elegant. And loved that it was a different style than most brides are going for right now. Its was a silky satin off the shoulder gown that is so very appropriately names ‘the movie star’ from designer Amy Michaelson. Also, she had a really cool custom brooch bouquet that I had never seen before.

‘

‘

‘

‘

‘

‘

‘

‘

‘

‘

I love red corral ranch’s red party barn. It just magical at night.

‘

‘

‘

Angie’s family dressed up in traditional Colombian costumes and danced a cumbia as a surprise for her and Nate.

So a bit from our bride:

• Q. Bride: What is your favorite memory of the day?

  A. Dancing in the Hora Loca with all of our guests – Also when my family who dressed up in tradional colombian costume surprised us & Nate & I danced cumbia with candles!! Also getting serenaded at the wedding ceremony by Nate & all of his groomsman. Dancing with my father. Listening to Nates declare his beautiful vows )
• Q. Groom: What is your favorite memory of the day?

  A. Dancing with my grandma. Dancing the first dance with Angie. When my groomsman all sang with me. Having all of our families meet for the first time!
• Q. Bride: What advice would you give future brides?

  A. Try to think of what is most important to you & write everything down thats most important to you so you dont forget … because you will be so flustered & worried about ‘staying on schedule’ that you will forget everything you wanted to do on your wedding day!!!
• Q. Groom: What advice would you give to future grooms?

  A. Delagate responisibilities to your family members & friends to help take the load off of yourselves. Most of the time they are so willing to help & you usually just forget to ask!! Remeber to ask for help becuase you cant do it all.

Okay and one of my absolute favorite shots of the day! My mermaid on a the rock.

So if you could go anywhere for your dream shoot with your loved one, where would you go? Me…definitely Prague where Chris and I met and then later where he proposed.

Mia looked absolutely stunning! I love these portraits of her.

.

.

.

.

These were the coolest bridesmaids gift. Matching rings!

.

.

The little flower girls were cracking me up during the ceremony. They were having a little bit of fun. Hey, its tough being still for that long.

.

.

.

One of my favorites, I couldn’t ask for sweeter moment.

This cracks me up! Loved this little curly haired kiddo!

.

.

I love this little exit banner. Really cute!

.

.

.

.

.

.

Gotta love that energy! dance like you mean it.

.

So if you want to know what to do when you can’t do a sparkler exit because of the burn ban, these cute little homemade pompoms were a nice pop of color. It was just a wooden dowel with matching ribbon streamers attached to the end.

.

Congratulations Mia and John!

Isn’t this the cutest little white country church ever! I loved it.

These guys were incredible. They cracked each other up all day long, it was just great to be around.

I still love this picture of Rachel’s new mom-in-law carefully fluffing her train so that her daughter looked flawless at the alter. Such a sweet act of love!

I love this next shot…taken by my favorite second shooter, Chris.

….sigh… Love this shot too. I think they should print it big and put it in their home!

No brenham wedding is complete without the Grand March. My honey, Chris caught this shot!

Congratulations to you both!

Love these red bridesmaids shoes

What an incredible day it was and my most favorite part was that she walk down the aisle to her groom singing her a song and playing the guitar. It was one of the most genuine and sweet take on a traditional ceremony. I have no idea how Todd made it through the entire song and there wasn’t a dry eye in the place.

A favorite moment of mine during the ceremony. One of Alicia’s best friend’s and bridesmaid was singing a song to the both of them. I knew the words spoke to Alicia’s heart at this very second.

And…now for some of my favorite portraits ever! I just love them. The sun light was just gorgeous. Thanks to the couple for trusting me with this extra time…its so very very important to carve out some dedicated along time with the photographer. All of my couples say its SO worth it.

So, for those that have never been to a Polish-Texan wedding (lots of them out in Washington and Brazos Country) this is called the Grand March. Its a traditional dance that started with everyone ushering through the village or town to let the folks know that a wedding was about to start and EVERYONE is invited.

It gets a little complicated and the crowds of people are interwoven amongst themselves.

Okay, instead of ‘where’s waldo’ try and find ‘where’s Jenny’

It ends with everyone in a large circle and the bride and groom in the middle for their first dance.

A big congratulations to Alicia and Todd. And thanks to my awesome second shooter Matt Johnson for getting those killer shots of the Grand March from above.

Here is their slideshow

I am just about to post Jennifer and Johns gorgeous wedding at Spicewood Vineyards and thought I should share these gems first. I love her dress (Maggie Sottero Couture from Special Occasions). I had a Maggie dress too, I just love them! And that long cathedral veil…love it too!

Jill wore a gorgeous

Those lashes were fierce, and yowsers, Jill looked so stunning.

Love, love a good birdcage veil. We had some fun playing around with some extra time that was padded in the timeline.

I really do think the guys are spoiled in their groom’s suite. A poker table..what a great idea!

Jill and Brandon decided to have a first look. It was such a great experience and really helped to calm Jill’s nerves. Seeing your sweetheart before the ceremony can be such an awesome idea, it allow more flexibility in the timeline and also give you some alone time with each other.

Brandon said that seeing Jill for the first time was his favorite moment of the entire day. She was an absolute stunner!

Yep, super gorgeous bride!

I loved the ring bearers shorts and loafers. So cute!

And, Jill had these gorgeous details. Antique china with cute little glass jars, succulents, and hydrangeas.

And…my absolute favorite first dance shot.

Such a wonderful wedding. If you want to see more, please watch their slideshow here:

So just in case you see some familiar faces, Ashley is good friends with Katie + Brian. A big group of TCU folks were at both these weddings and believe me, neither reception disappointed. Lots and lots of dancing.

I love this shot of Ashley smiling at the crowd. It was taken by the hubby Chris. Good job baby!

I still love this next photo. I blogged about it a while back because it was such a nice quiet moment in the middle of a whirlwind wedding day.

Yea, and now the dance party…

There was some brilliant engineering with those glow sticks.

More cowbell!
