East Texas Wedding ~ Belgium House ~ Dixie Cotton Gin

Like many photographers, Fall is our marathon and once December gets here we let out a long satisfied and tired sigh.  Now that December is here I'm looking for time away from my business to spend with my precious family.  AND - I look forward to getting to work on some important, personal project that I've put off for too long!

One of those things on my list is dusting off the old blog.  Not just catching up on posts, but also a complete redesign for my website - oh my heart just did a pitter patter!

If you'll remember I did this bride's lovely bridal session back in JULY at the Dixie Cotton Gin.  She was such a trooper in the 100 plus degree heat!

And then finally - her beautiful wedding in September at The Belgium House.

Venue: The Belgium House
Caterer: Adalante Catering
DJ: Moore Music
Second Shooter: Kendra Michelle (My FAVORITE GIRL IN THE WHOLE WORLD)

And finally their Day After Session.  A Day After Session is perfect for those weddings with a tight timeline. It's often difficult to get all of the images a couple wants on such a jam-packed day.  Finding an hour between the ceremony and reception for portraits is difficult - especially for sunset ceremonies and those choosing not to have a First Look.  I cannot stress enough to my brides the importance of scheduling your ceremony with enough light left in the day for portraits.  Any photographer worth their salt will tell you light is CRITICAL to beautiful images.

I'm in the middle of 3 weddings in 15 days and things are fast paced, fun and hectic around here.  I got to shoot this wedding with KENDRA at the BELGIUM HOUSE last week and here are a few of the details.  Such a fun wedding with lots of unique ideas incorporated.  And as always - shooting with Kendra is a blast!

Getting ready with the girls has to be one of my favorite parts of shooting weddings!  And of course this is also the time we (photographers) get to take A LOT of creative license with detail shots.  Yes - we get weird looks as we try to perfectly photograph those messy make up brushes - but these are the details that make the day.  And details are worth capturing - and capturing beautifully....

 WORK IT GIRL - WORK IT!  (Kendra working her magic).
