The details – the wedding color was mainly a peachy pink with Chinese red.. I didn’t know that they had personalized water bottles with one of the engagement photos I took for them, pretty cool! For the guests during cocktail hour there were canvases for them to paint on. There was also delicious sorbet / gelato during cocktail hour. The reception was a Chinese banquet (so good!) There was a menu that explained the significance of every dish… helpful, because I didn’t quite know the significance of the dishes either!

One of the groomsmen and I put together this surprise gift for the couple – a 8×12 Giclee canvas of one of the engagement photos. I LOVE being able to see my work in print, it’s sooo cool that it got displayed during cocktail hour! And yes, I get that excited

With the happy couple

The ladies of 96D#4. A parting shot for a while

Beautiful and joyous wishes to the awesome couple on the first day of a long and amazing journey!

Cara and Rick were married on a beautiful, beautiful August day. In fact, all my August weddings had awesome weather, but I think the temperature was a lot cooler on their wedding! Cara really loved photos, and so we made sure we left pleeenty of time for portraits – nearly 2 hours! In fact, I helped Cara go over the wedding day schedule prior to make sure that we could get all the photos in. Cara planned her wedding from Texas, so major props to how smooth the day went! Her wedding party was HUUUGE and we also wanted all the family combinations covered. I’m so psyched to present this set of photos. Enjoy!

Cara waiting

Cute shoes and absolutely gorgeous dress!

The men were pretty good with getting ready on time. I told them they had to make sure to get those boutonnieres on =D

I love this shot of Cara’s hand coming out

Portraits of Cara – is she not GORGEOUS!

Rick is waiting for the First Look!

*tear* look at how happy he is!

So.. the wedding party had 8 on each side plus a flower girl and an attendant! I made sure I got a wiiide lens for this wedding! (28mm f/2.8)

Such goofy men!

Work it ladies!

Rick and his wacky siblings

Rick and Cara are absoluuuutely romantic when they’re together. I didn’t need to give them much direction, they’re just so in love!

Aw aw cute flower girl!

More of the ceremony

What an awesome kiss!

I wasn’t able to stick around the reception – but Steph Stevens covered the reception and from my preview here, it looks like it was a BLAST! I think they did a Michael Jackson choreographed dance later in the night

Congrats Cara and Rick, and a special thank you to Cara’s mom, Lynne, for finding me. You guys are unforgettable and I wish you all the best down in Texas!
