Downtown McKinnney Wedding

All the gorgeous ladies of the bridal party

Since I never make the blog, here I am hard at it.

Although, it’s not hard to make these ladies look so HAWTE!!!

Heck, Katie makes a shoe adjustment look good!

In case you couldn’t get enough, another group shot.

Ok, one for the ladies!  Although, he’s now taken.  Introducing Colby.

And the rest of the guys.

What’s a wedding with out some sexy paint by light?

Colby and his Tahlequah pose.

Such a cute happy couple.

More to come soon…

Meet Mason!

And introducing Morgan.

Like I said, we had a case of the munchies from Miss Morgan!

And we also had one of the funniest cases of the tickles ever!

It wasn’t all fun and games though, we had some hugs and love.

And even some kisses…

but, I don’t think Dad was expecting this…  eyes closed and all!

Nope, not expecting that at all!

Ok, we talked her in to a real one.

And if you are in the park, be sure and keep an eye out for the wildlife.

TPC Craig Ranch

Carissa looked gorgeous and how do you not love that dress?  You have to love the head piece as well.

And another quick one from inside TPC.

Then we made our way outside to that gorgeous light and backdrop…

Same light, different settings and added light can give you a whole new look.  If you are only doing available light… you’re missing out on some great looks!

One from the dressing room.

Before we start shooting the guys.

And Jeff is all ready to go!

And then so was the rain as the seating began…

So under the patio we went as if nothing happened.

Here was I really liked for some reason that George shot from under an umbrella.

And just to prove it.

The inside of TPC all setup with flowers from The Flower Shoppe

And the cake from Romano’s Bakery

We had to sneak away during the reception for some intimates…

Which I highly suggest every bride and groom make time to do…

or you don’t get all the cool pics that Jeff & Carissa did…

And a great sparkler exit to finish it all off.

That’s right!  It’s Cans for Comments… For every comment this blog receives between now and December 20th, 2009 we will donate a can of food for each comment to the McKinney Food Pantry.  So leave a comment, donate a can to help feed the needy.  We’ve upped the odds as well!  For every 20 comments, we’ll add on a bag of dried beans and for every 50 comments we’ll add on a box of powdered milk.  Those are the items that the McKinney Food Pantry was in need off as well as canned fruits and vegetables, so if you’d like to help too, please visit their website at http://mckinneyfoodpantry.org.  So 100 comments would be 100 can goods, 5 bags of dried beans and two boxes of powdered milk.  Help us help them, just by leaving a comment on the blog, something like “Great Cause!”, “Great Pics!”, “Donate a can for me!” or just “We love you Josh!” is all it takes to help at this time of year.  Then forward the link to a friend and have them do the same.

Meet Tod and Ashley!  

Now I must mention again, a dozen or so photographers are all shooting pictures at the same time, so imagine the paparazzi shooting an engagement and you are there!

You know, I luv my blue skies!

Behind the scenes, you’d occasionally see a photographer posing and directing like Stacy below…

One of the problems, when trying for a wide angle shot like below, you had too many photographers in the way…  But that’s okay!

Cuz Jason is more than willing to stand in once everyone moves spots!

Back to those gorgeous blue skies, I loved this one…

And I’ll toss in one SOC (Straight Outta Camera) so that you don’t think it’s all photoshopped.

Did I mention there were a bunch of photographers there?  Sometimes they even were in charge of hair, like Jared below.

Which made it easy to snag pics like this…

and another little behind the scenes look at a few of the photographers in attendance, and my light of course!

It wasn’t all work though, there was plenty of footsie playing and leg rubbing going on, but I can’t tell you who was rubbing on Tod’s leg.

Like I said, I did shoot some available light…

And some light that was available to me…

And a little different light that was available was the mini-frezzi video light…

Afterwards, we even did dinner and you’ll have to try and guess who’s fake birthday resulted in a chicken on their head…

Michael and Stacey decided to go with a first look and get their pictures out of the way before the ceremony which always gives you lots of time before hand for tons and tons of pics.  So if you decide to go that route, we always like to capture the moment and then give you a minute with your spouse to be.  Here’s a couple from that first meet.   One from me:

And one as Stacey just reaches Michael from George:

And the meet:

If you can’t just feel the love here, you must the tin-man!

Stacey loves doors, so these doors were more than a perfect backdrop!

More of those perfect backdrops for photos:

A nice relaxed portrait of the happy couple:

And another great capture from George during their portraits:

Stacey’s Bouquet:

Ceremony time:

And then a few more relaxed portraits before heading to the reception:

Later on during the reception, we snuck in another quick pic:

You gotta love the effort sometimes on trying to get the bouquet, but the little ring bearer in the middle of the action cracks me up the most!

And a sparkler exit from the Indian Creek Golf Course:

Congratulations guys, we had a ball and enjoyed every minute.
