Mom getting her dressed… I love this one

with her dad

and just one crazy one with the girls

Chad, our groom with the most contagious smile… 

A little camo/brown detail

Prayer right before the ceremony

Moms carried little bouquets.  So cute!

This is AP’s baptismal bonnet that was created to turn into the hankerchief is wife would one day carry down the aisle.  AWESOME.  I wish I’d have found something like that for little Parker!

The Palms in Orange took care of the decor for the church as well as the reception venue.  (Flowers, too!)  These white crystal – like trees were just GORGEOUS.  And they were everywhere!  Beautiful.

Some of the following images show just how AWESOME lighting can be (and smoke!)  Such an amazing impact & touch of “drama” to the reception images!

AMAZING groom’s cake

First dance

Congrat’s guys!  I hope you enjoy them!  (Gallery is up!!!)

Kelly & the girls dressed at her grandparents’ home, which I loved.

Meanwhile, the boys were goofing off…  aren’t these two just too much?!  Look at those EYES!  ;)

And one of the handsome groom…

If I have good internet, I’ll be trying hard to blog more this week!

Dear Lindsey,

Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us.  Through the prep process, we’ve met the most incredible people, each playing a significant role in making this day perfect for Catherine & Chance.  You, Lindsey, are the BEST!  Much appreciation.  Much love, Becky B.

From Catherine -

Lindsey,
 
We LOVE the pictures from the wedding.  You did an amazing job, and we are both so happy that we got to work with you.  You made me so comfortable on the big day, and all of my girls are still raving about you (future clients??!!).  The groomsmen are all just so impressed with how fast you got through their pictures while still getting great shots. You captured the right moments with the style that made me know that I just HAD to have you photograph our day.  
  
Thanks again,
Catherine and Chance Perkins

Thank you Mrs. Becky & Catherine!  The day was beautiful and I hope these are the images that will remain your keepsakes from that day forever!  ;)

We had a few windows of “down time” through the reception, which I took advantage of by recording a few details of this amazing venue, Point Aux Loups Springs Ballroom.  One of my absolute favorites!

In Carolyn’s old room

Carolyn’s shoes were ordered and delivered with this on it.  Such a neat detail.

Hard core action shot of the videographer!  Look at that pose – he was serious about getting the shot.
