Jen’s wed to Ed

Disclaimer - I “borrowed” today’s title from Jen and Ed’s website. These guys have a great story, they met at all places a Los Lonely Boys show in Corpus (they are both from Austin). So how does anyone meet at a show? I mean come on there is no way you can have any kind of meaningful conversation when it’s so loud your chest goes thump, thump thump with the base drum. That is unless you show up 10 HOURS EARLY to save your place in line because it’s a general admission show and you happen to be camped out right next to each other. So after many more shows and thousands of miles logged going from show to show the rest is (as they say) history.

Congratulations!

15 minutes to go time!

Five minutes to go and Jen was feeling a little nervous (who wouldn't).

Ed and Jen were all smiles once they had a seat and got to see each other.

Time to break bread with Father Mike

The recessional was just shy of a football field... their church was huge!

The had their first dance to a mariachi band! That was way cool.

I love this girl's expression.

When the band left the DJ took over...

This is what happens when you dance into the night.

Jen’s Bridal

So the first thing that probably comes to mind is “Mike you can’t post a bridal before she gets married, what if the groom sees her!?!?!”

No worries, if you read the last post you’d know I am waaaay behind in postings. Jen and Eddie got married this past Saturday (post coming soon.... probably).

We shot at the Capital, lots of green grass and trees outside along with a tons of cool staircases, columns, and hallways indoors. Oh and a HUGE bathroom in the basement that always vacant, perfect for getting dressed, but don't tell anyone!

Front lawn, this was a warm-up shot to test the lights but it turned out to be one of my favorites.

Head shot - so after further review Jen decided her make-up looked too natural (I thought it looked great) and went with a little different look for her wedding day (I liked it better!). It pays to do the trial run.

Spot light

I like the blue tone on this with the fade to black all around her.

A little soft light

The back of Jen's dress was way cool, it must take for ever to lace up.

And here's the ring.

Rachel and Shane

So I’m not one of those bloggers that makes up for lost time by doing a bunch of posts all at once... OK I’m busted. I’ve come up with every excuse for not posting, but in the end they are just excuses and I’ve shot so much. So here we go:

This is Rachel and Shane. They are one of those couples that knew within two weeks (or was it two dates?) of meeting each other that they were meant for one another. Fast forward almost two years and here we are!

ALL SMILES getting ready.

Obligatory shoe pic

We were literally in a closet! This is a super wide angle and if you look close you can see me in the mirror almost on top of Shane.

We did our group pictures inside their was no way on God’s green earth (although I think she phrased it differently) Rachel was going outdoors in the humidity to do pictures. It was one of those rare hot and humid Austin August days.

I love her expression in this one.

BEST bubbles pic to date.
