Geana & Jeff had us partying late on Saturday. The whole day was VERY eventful. We went from her brother getting stung by a bee during portraits, to tripping over bottles in the dark, to tearing the maid of honor’s dress, all the way to smacking poor Vivian in the face with a camera. Needless to say, we are still recouping (some more than others).
I assisted a photographer in Fort Worth a few weeks ago with this super fun wedding. Assisting sort of gives me minor panic attacks because I really don’t know what to expect going on. Who are these people? Will they like me? Will they think I’m strange? Will they smile at me?
Sarah was incredibly warm and I got all of the good stories right off the bat! Charlie was a bit shy, but simultaneously outgoing so we had a nice chat while we were waiting for Sarah to finish getting ready. The groomsmen were my kind of boys. I suggested going out to the playground to ride tricycles and they were all over it.
The band is Emerald City and they rock!!

Nancy, Jason & I are plotting while Vivian is playing with the telephoto lens from the back of the church.
When we encounter a church with strict shooting rules, I will usually shoot the processional & recessional and I leave the ceremony shots to Vivian (and/or Jason). They are strategically positioned all around the church and they rock as photographers so I can take a moment to relax.
Here I am watching the ceremony from my vantage point with the ushers all around me- they sat down next to me right after the ceremony started and I was trapped. I needed to move for the recessional shots so I had to shoo them off a few minutes later.
I have no idea who this guy is but he wanted a picture with the three of us. Notice that Nancy is trying not to strangle herself with my lighting equipment.
Preview from this past Saturday. (It took me a whole day to recover; it was some party!)
Brittyn & John saw each other before the ceremony in the garden. I had been planning on the first meeting to be in the garden for a while but when we got to the church, there were several workers doing construction. Imagine my relief when they were gone 20 minutes before the meeting! Talk about a nail biter!
Jason rocked the ceremony pictures from his great vantage point in the choir loft!
Vivian got some great moments right after the ceremony!
They had the most adorable kids at the wedding!
Off to the reception we go!
We had such an amazing time with the whole crew. And I mean, we did have a crew of groomsmen & ushers this time. They were just a crazy bunch and so easy to get along with!
I am utterly sad that we didn’t have a rusty bathtub! Somehow we had found one both during bridals and engagements so I felt like there was something missing on the wedding day for sure!
