Lindsey + Paul wedding

Lindsey and Paul were married last Thursday in an intimate ceremony at Tiki Island.

When I (Laura) first spoke to them (a week or so before their wedding) they were just going to have a small ceremony with the two of them and a judge at a local park and then we were going to go take some fun portraits of the two of them around Galveston. Well, as the week progressed, friends and family gathered together and the plan changed significantly and we had a full blown wedding! I was really amazed at what they managed to pull of in less than two weeks time! They had a gorgeous outdoor wedding at the Village of Tiki Island at a friend's house surrounded by all of their family and friends. And we still got to do a few photos around the Strand :)

The couple honeymooned in San Francisco and will continue to live in Galveston while Lindsey finishes medical school at UTMB. Congratulations you guys and it was great to meet you!

Brooke + Trey wedding I

David traveled to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico this last weekend to cover the destination wedding of Brooke and Trey. The wedding festivities were held at the amazing Cabo Azul Resort. Brooke and Trey were so laid back and easy to work with as were their friends and family. It certainly was an honor to have been chosen to be their photographer. 

In total 34 people were in attendance. Nearly all of them came in from Texas. The bride's signature color orange was reflected in various ways. From the invitations, programs, monogramed towels and dinner napkins, groom's tie and cufflinks, flowers and especially her shoes. David was also impressed by her wedding ring which was a diamond in the raw.

The ceremony was held in an unbelievable outdoor pavilion, El Corazon. It is an open-air, five story wedding chapel with candles, water falls and torches that overlooks the Sea of Cortez. All I can say is that it is simply an amazing location. The lighting, design and view were unmatched for an outdoor ceremony. A single lantern was placed at the front in memory or Trey's mother. 

Following the cermony David led the couple down to the beach for sunset shots.

The cocktail hour and dinner was held outdoors on the veranda overlooking the beach at Javier's Restaurant. After dinner and toasts, the guests were invited inside for dancing and cake

Katie + Blake wedding

Katie and Blake were married on Good Friday at the Safari Texas Ranch and Laura was there to cover it. This one was such a fun one to cover as Blake and Katie are so energetic and creative. There were lots of personal touches that really made it special. Katie had her Kate Spade shoes dyed green (the same color as her Jeep!) and Blake and his groomsmen wore matching Converse All-Stars. The overall color scheme was orange and green and it really turned out great. The weather held out just right for the outdoor ceremony and the peacocks on the grounds provided much vocal entertainment. The reception was a hoot, from the entire bridal party's rendition of "Thriller" to the groomsmen later serenading the couple. AND her garter had a teeny tiny little pistol in it (not operational of course!). Congratulations you guys, I had a blast and thank you so much for letting me a part of your day!

Part 2 of the fabulous wedding Laura photographed in the Dominican Republic this last weekend. 

Laura + Alex wedding I

Our very own Laura Burlton had the pleasure of traveling to the Dominican Republic this past weekend to cover the destination wedding of Laura and Alex. The beach front ceremony was held at the luxurious Paradisus Palma Real Resort in Punta Cana. She stayed for three days providing complete coverage and got in a little fun time too, mind you, her idea of fun is taking photos...  Laura & Alex stayed after to enjoy some R & R time and their honeymoon at the resort and should be returning at the end of the week.
