In one word…Emery and Trey’s wedding was INCREDIBLE!!! Seriously, I knew it was going to be a unique and special wedding upon hearing Emery’s wedding plans and helping her with wedding crafts, but she really outdid herself with all the attention to detail she put in. Plus, we were just happy to be a part of their wedding day because they’ve been our close friends for many years and I was so excited to see Emery happily married off to Trey. It was a perfect day, and everyone genuinely had a GREAT time at their wedding.

Like I said, the details were amazing:

The best bouquet EVER…Emery made this using many old brooches from her grandmother:

I loved the flowers as well:

And instead of a groom’s cake, they had various groom’s pies (they both have a mutual affinity for pie):

And heeelllloooooo awesomeness!!! LOVE this!!! Tammy and Betsy from Soups, Salad and Sweets did an amazing job on the cake!

I could post many many more detail shots from their wedding, but on to the people pics because Emery and Trey are pretty awesome too . Emery getting ready…I love the retro feel to this pic

Emery and Trey chose to do a “first look” before the wedding, and I’m soooooo glad they did because it gave us plenty of time for pictures with all the fun props! I always love seeing the anticipation on a groom’s face before he sees his bride:

And I equally love seeing the bride’s reaction on seeing her groom for the first time. So much happiness :

I like bowties

Beautiful lake + old yellow truck + basket of fresh flowers + the most adorable couple ever = one of my most favorite pictures taken ever!

They used a sailboat for the bar…LOVE:

Ceremony time:

Instead of a guest book, they had a photo booth set up for family and friends to take pics in.

First dance:

I’ve known and been friends with Kristin since way back in high school. As a matter of fact, Kristin and I used to ride together to school and she was even with me when I got my very first speeding ticket ever (how exciting, right?). I was so excited when she contacted me about doing their pictures for several reasons. One being that I get to see and catch up with an old friend, and two being that we would be doing their pictures in Dallas, TX since that is where Kristin and Rick live. So a couple of weeks ago, Miranda and I took a weekend trip to Dallas to take their engagements and to get a little shopping done .

We had an awesome time with Kristin and Rick, and I absolutely loved loved loved shooting in Dallas!!! It was so good to shoot somewhere different and way more exciting than ol’ Monroe, LA. I have to give a huge shout out to Rick right now though…we met Sunday morning around 7:00am and he had just gotten off work after working 24 hours. He was bright eyed, excited, and such a sport about taking hours worth of pics after working 24 straight hours. Kristin, he’s a keeper .

I know this one is completely out of focus, but there’s still something about it that I just love for some reason. Almost like a dream…

I love the mood of this one:

Heeelllooooo Dallas skyline!
