You know, I tend to brag all the time how lucky I am to work with such fun, loving people as a photographer. It's definitely an art that ties you to humanity, and I'm happy to be a part of the more caring side of humanity. Which brings me to my latest couple, Jenn & Chad. Jenn, from the day we had our first meeting, it was nothing but fun, candor and great communication between us. I knew then I had to work with her and Chad--her fiance, who is a more reserved Yin to Jenn's spunky Yang.
On a particularly chilly Autumn day, we explored around the San Marcos Old Fish Hatchery and the river for their engagement photo session. I loved seeing them just be them (I know its hard for some folks when the camera is on) we laughed and joked as they just had fun and enjoyed themselves. And I think it reflects well in their photos.
As time flies by (as time tends to do) it was time for the Big Day. On a particulary scorching Summer day, I was honored to capture their gorgeous wedding at the lovely Faust Hotel in New Braunfels. It was a very lovely, historic hotel with lots of fun areas to play with and worked well with the traditional photos with the wedding party and family.
Jenn & Chad received a good chunk of bonus points as they chose to break tradition and saw each other before the ceremony. I know some traditionalists may not dig it, but from a photographer's point of view it's a fabulous shiny blue diamond. The break allowed us to easily gather the wedding party (When the ceremony hasn't started, its easier to gather the herd as all are a. ready b. nearby since the wedding will start soon) We were able to have a little fun and even take some photos of the couple together. Like I said, it's not for traditionalists, but for those brides willing to break free of the norm...it's OK to consider!
As the nuptials began in the beautifully quaint Faust Hotel, I smiled and cheered as the couple sealed their vows with a smooch. Everyone was so sweet and full of fun. There was food, dancing and fun throughout the night and was so excited to be a part of Chad and Jenn's wedding.
I wish them love, luck and lots of life!
