I had the chance to head to Wichita Falls a couple of weeks ago to photograph Valerie and Andrew’s GORGEOUS wedding! This post will be LONG as there were soooo many cool details and stories everywhere!! The whole concept, design, and floral for this wedding was done by the WONDERFUL Two Clever Chicks…Cynthia and Lolly!(We instantly fell in love with them and simply cannot wait to work with them again on a wedding!)
Celebrity Chef Tim Love came over from Fort Worth and provided a spectacular meal for everyone as well!! My friend Jason Huang also came along and helped shoot the wedding with me and Stefanie, so without further ado….Here are some of my favorites from the day…
I normally do not post shots from Bridal brunches, etc… but I thought these centerpieces done by Kim Southard of the Swanky Thang were pretty cool!(Besides, you guys know I am a BIG tropical beach fan anyway!)
Now onto the wedding… Andrew getting ready…
It’s now a tradition at each wedding, that the guys have a shot with Tim Love…
Mr GQ!
Love the buttons as well as Valerie’s shoes!
Valerie’s dress…
The guys make their way to the church in the Limo and a cool shot of Andrew’s father waiting…
Valerie getting ready…
Another…
The girls…
A couple of Valerie…
Some of the church details…
This is a pretty cool sequence as the VERY cool pastor gave us permission to shoot from right behind him for part of the ceremony as long as we didn’t move.(I wish more churches would allow this as you can see the really cool shots we can get this way!)
Andrew looks on as Valerie makes her way down the aisle…
Andrew gets a little emotional as well…
LOVED the flowers!
A view from the front…
Some cute ones I got of the kids during the ceremony! I think the little guy was a bit tired!
The Kiss!
I LOVE this one as they make their way out of the church…
Some alone time…
Love these!
And another…
Some very cool reception details!
The cakes! The groom’s cake has special meaning in that both Andrew and Valerie have a dog and they will now all be together!
And here they are!
Since Tim Love was the chef for this wedding, there was a plethora of awesome food everywhere!
The first dance…
I got a cool view of the cake as they were dancing…
Father/Daughter…
Mother/Son…
The rings…
Who knew that Chef Love was also an awesome drummer! “Duck Soup” was the band and they did a GREAT job of keeping the party going all night! Also, me and Chef Love hanging out near the end of the night…
Explanation time….It is another family tradition that a practical joke gets played on the couple at each family wedding and this one was no exception! The wedding party shackled both Valerie and Andrew with metal locks and chains and gave them no keys!
At least they got a saw to work with!
Congratulations again Valerie and Andrew! I should have all of the photos edited and online in another week or so.
