We started the day at John & Amy's (another small group couple) house to get ready and to shoot all the family portraits. Lindsey and all the girls were a little late arriving, but that didn't seem to put a damper on our photo schedule of the day as a whole. John and Amy have a beautiful house in Spring and it made the perfect backdrop for the wedding photos since shooting outside was basically not an option.
Lindsey and Brian's ceremony and reception were held at Shady Oaks in Spring, just a mile from our studio. It had been sometime since I'd worked at Shady Oaks. Thank you Nancy for being so nice to us and for making our experience working at your venue a joy. The ceremony started just after 7 PM. Since Lindsey and Brian had agreed to see each other prior to the ceremony (great decision) we only had to shoot the photos of the entire wedding party after the ceremony. I can't stress enough how important it is (in some cases) for couple's to see each other prior to the ceremony if they are passionate about having exceptional photography for their wedding. In Lindsey and Brian's case they didn't have a lot of time after the ceremony to take portraits. Also, the chapel doors at Shady Oaks would not be opened until just 30 minutes prior to the ceremony, thus taking photos in the chapel before the ceremony was out of the picture. Also, it would have been suicide to take the family photos out doors, thus it was necessary for everybody to meet at another indoor location to shoot almost all the photos prior to the ceremony.
Thank you so much Teresa and Les for allowing us to be such an important part of Lindsey and Brian's wedding day. It was a pleasure getting to know you all more and being there with you Friday. We appreciate you guys and wish blessings upon you and your family. God Bless.
