Close friends and family made up the guest list.

The attendants.

Even Heather’s youngest did a great job!  (Pretty good for such a little one).

Heather made sure she slipped in a couple of extra cute lines into their vows.  Mike was properly amused.

Family pics with the newly wed couple.

Heather’s proud brothers, Travis and Brandt.

On to the ceremony!

Father/Daughter dance.

Of course the first dance always ends in a kiss (you didn’t know that?)

I seriously love tulips and thought her bouquet was lovely!

Okay these toasts always get emotional for everyone!

Karaoke for everyone!!

Really….everyone!  Travis and Brandt did an outstanding job (they tell me they are the “professionals” out of the family!)

Heather your CD is ready!!!  Email me for details!!!

High school friends, Matt and Jil. like many, met up again years after high school was over.  Well, as they say, one thing led to another and they found true love.

Please join me for their big day at Edmond, Oklahoma’s Creekside Wedding Chapel!

Let’s just say the girls (they each bring wonderful children into this marriage), were very much about the getting ready phase.

The boys, not so much as the girls, but were will to stop for photos.

I’m telling you, Matt looks like he’s going to bust.

I love first dances.

Father/daughter dances are a close second.

Yup, a super time was had by all.

Even the younger set had a blast!

These girls LOVED the bouquet toss!

But only one could catch it.

Fast forward to the end.

Jil I will contact you when your CD is ready!!

But first things first.  Meet Erin.  Gorgeous inside and out.

Details for her wedding were in progress when I met up with her early in the day.

Hair and makeup was on the schedule as well.

Practice.

Once at Rose Chapel, it was really go, go, go!

Waiting in anticipation for the bride and groom.

Last minute instructions.

Everyone knew their job.

Mother and Father of the Bride.

One last shot before we move over to the reception.

First dance.

Father/daughter dance.

The cakes were beautiful as well as yummy.

Friends and family are wishing you all the best!

Count DOWN!!

Sigh, fairy tail wedding.

I guess that’s how Jerad’s grandparents refer to this beautiful little plot of land (and perhaps the structure in the background there) in Mustang, OK.  It’s got everything:  pond, trees, grass…everything you need for a lovely outdoor wedding.

The little blond is Ashley’s daughter.  She would NOT take up with me until I took this particular photo.  (Guess I got her good side.)

I do believe the entire family made it out for the big day. 

The flower girls did a great job!

I told you I was her new best friend.  Hee hee.Okay, let’s get indoors where I will leave you with a few from the dance floor.

You two have a blessed marriage!

Famous for their excellent fare of entrees and fabulous desserts.

The room has been set up with care and attention to detail.Once the immediate family has arrived, we get right to business with some family photos.

This particular family had the honor of the most members so I had a little fun with them.

They didn’t disappoint me!!

The entire gang!

Nancy planned this well since we had lots ‘o time for gabbin’.  Brayden, you were the life of the party.

Well the food arrived and it was time to wind down, thank God for what He has given us and enjoy the delicious food!

Cibo Molto Buono!

Since I was the second shooter (shooting with Lindsey Brook’s photography), I got to concentrate on the guys.  Fun stuff!

Of course the “guys” included the littlest guy!

Let’s not forget the flower girl!  (Yeah the basket of petals ranked way over the photographer!)

These darlings are all related!  What a good looking group!

I’m also in charge of getting the ring shots (among other details).

I sincerely love capturing the details!On to the ceremony!

This is the other flower girl.  She was enamored of the petals as well.

The cocktail hour awaited the guests as the bride, groom and families did their photos.

I’ll leave you with their first dance.  What a fun couple!

There were many details (and you all know that I love shooting details) that were beautiful to capture.  Gifts given from one family to the other.

Their rings are gorgeous.

The lovely Tharmika, her mother and mother in law.

Thank you so much for letting me capture your beautiful day!

As you can tell, I love the details.  Her ring is stunning!

Of course I love the details within the details. 

Her Grandma’s ring has been artfully woven into the grosgrain ribbon on her bouquet.   (Flowers and center pieces by Tanna Donalson).

Look who is proud as can be!  (Logan’s Mom, if ya couldn’t guess).

Woo hoo Pam.  You go!

As they departed, the guest’s gave them a sparkling send off!

The perfect backdrop for today’s wedding.  Meet Pito.  He’s the lucky groom.

It’s a low key affair that Miss “A” is looking forward to!

Dear friends join the happy couple to celebrate this day.

Meet Sherri (and her lovely daughter Shannon), the brainchild behind all the beautiful decorations and careful planning!

Cutting the cake proved only to be a slight challenge.  Hee hee.

More excitement for the day as Ashley tosses the bouquet!

I believe she was calculating the trajectory the bouquet took before landing right in this girl’s hands!

I will leave you with a shot of their ride out of town! 

Despite the rain we’ve had the last several weeks, the afternoon was glorious.

I’m liking this sand deal in place of the unity candle.

This is the vantage point from the bride’s dressing room.  Pretty cool, huh?

First dance.

Aren’t they sweet?  Just gives me a toothache watching them.  Hee hee.

Mother/Son dance.

Of course here is Brandi with her dad.

We are going to fast forward to the end of the fabulous evening.  Bubbles are always a fun way to end!
