Erica & Russell's Wedding: Ceremony and (more) Formals

Hey... so remember that one time I said I'd post more of Erica's wedding pictures? Yeah... it seems vaguely familiar to me as well. I thought I could fit the reception pictures in this post, but that just ain't gonna happen. So, someday, you'll see the reception pictures. Hopefully sooner, than later. Ceremonial Blessings did all the decor for the wedding. If you've read my blog before you've probably heard me talk about them. Almost all of the nicest weddings I have ever done were decorated by Tabitha and her staff. They are fantastic!!

I told you, fabulous!

On our way to the reception we stopped downtown for just a couple more shots of Erica and Russ and the wedding party. This is probably one of my favorite bridal party shots I've done.

Reception pictures coming soon.... hopefully....

Brandy & James Engaged: Stillwater, OK

And guess where I got to go to shoot their engagement session?That's right! Only the best school in Oklahoma! Brandy and James both graduated from OSU and are getting married there. So it was only appropriate that we did their engagements there. I really enjoyed getting to know them. And other than an evil goose chasing me (and making me scream like a little girl) the session was a lot of fun. We wondered around campus and even ran over to Eskimo Joe's for a few shots.

Doesn't Brandy have fabulous taste is dresses? She also had the most precious little blue number that was so retro I just couldn't even handle it. I can't wait to see her wedding dress because I know its going to be killer!

Allie & Zac's Engagement Pictures: Tulsa, OK

Allie & Zac are just too fun! And they were an absolute breeze to photograph! Allie was a bridesmaid in Kristin's wedding. (I love referals from awesome brides!!) Allie and Zac are planning on tying the knot in September at the Barn, and I can't wait. After getting to know them I just know their wedding is going to be fabulous! I'm so glad I get to work with such fun people that are totally into the whole experience! We headed downtown for their e-session. It was one of those days where we had a nice break from the hot weather. aww!

I'm not sure what it is about this shot that I just love! Allie's expression is adorable though!

This picture takes me back to college when I had a professor that was always emphasizing "repeated pattern". I love repeated pattern. (Thanks, Poppy!)

Granny

My Granny was the greatest. I wish more of you could have known her. I've been told a lot this week that I'm kind of like her, and what a great compliment that is. So maybe by knowing me, you can get a glimpse of her spirit. She was quirky, funny, and ridiculously talented. I mean... really funny, and really talented. I can't tell you how much I miss her. Today was my first day back at work, and I suppose, the first day when life was supposed to go on. But I've discovered that just because the funeral is over, I'm home, and back to work, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt just as badly. There's a hole in my heart that won't be filled till I see her again in Heaven. So, because I can't, go squeeze your grandma really tight and tell her how much you love her. And for you photographers that read my blog, go photograph your loved ones. I'm so thankful I took this picture, because I captured her the way I knew her.
I want to thank my incredible clients who have been so amazing and patient this past week. I truly am thankful for those of you who were so understanding. I also want to thank everyone for the nice comments on my blog, Facebook, Twitter, through email and text messages. It really means a lot.

***Out of the Office***

My grandma passed away on Friday and so I'm headed to Missouri for the next few days. I'm not entirely sure when I'll get back but I plan on spending this week with my family and resting. If you have an appointment with me Sarah will be contacting you to reschedule. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Kristin & Stefan's Wedding: Tulsa, OK

Ever known a bride that squeals with happiness when the sky breaks loose on her wedding day and pours down rain? I have! That's the type of girl Kristin is. She would have liked to have lots of vintagey field shots, but was thrilled to get to stand in the rain under an umbrella. Luckily the sun stayed out long enough that we were able to get a little of both. Kristin and Stefan's wedding was gorgeous! It was held at Camp Loughridge and was beautifully decorated by Ceremonial Blessings. Kristen has impeccable taste and it showed in every detail!
Flowers by the French Bouquet
Kristin and Stefan hired Old Urban Trolley to take their guests to and from Kirkland Chapel to the reception hall. Its almost a must to provide this type of transportation at Camp Loughridge and who better to use than Old Urban Trolley!
April's shot with my art on it.
Oh how I love this picture. I mean love it! Really really love it!!
The sun decided to come out during the reception and it made for some gorgeous light!
Enjoy a whole bunch more of the wedding images by watching the slide show!
***So... I could never get the slide show working, which is a huge bummer. Trust me that there were lots of great pictures to show off. I wish I had time to show them all, because they were so fun***
