Joy + Rick Wedding

Family, friends and love...these are the basic ingredients you need for a wedding. Although it'd be nice to have a Platinum Wedding it's not neccessary. If you took away the nine piece band, dj's, fancy lights, flowers, ice louge bar, old castle venue and what do you end up with? Family, friends and love.

I love how Joy and Rick decided to have their wedding at their house. It was just a lovely little intimate wedding with their closest friends and family. And to keep it as intimate as possible the groom's sister got certified to be the wedding officiant. We even had a chance to sneak away to nearby White Rock Lake for some portraits.

I get asked this question a lot, "how many of your pictures are posed?" Except for the bride and groom portrait session at the end of this blog, none of the pictures below or slide show are posed. We like to stay as photojournalistic as possible and document the wedding day as it happens.

You can view their engagement blog post here.

These are some of our favorites from the day. Their slide show can be viewed here.

I love the following sequence.

Julianna + Eli Engagement

Even though we purposely didn't book any weddings in August just so we can catch up, it's still going to be a busy month. We've got lots of albums to design and will be updating our website with some of our more current work. All the pictures on there now are all from last year. So please check back in the next few weeks for a website update.

Julianna and Eli are two of the coolest people and lots of fun and easy to work with. They were so comfortable with each other and with the camera, it seems like they forgot I was even there! They were just lost together in their happy little world. Here are some pictures I liked from their engagement session. Look for their wedding blog post coming soon.
