| The Tremont House, St. Patricks, and Ashton Villa Wedding |
When we get to meet genuinely amazing couples who are down to earth and are truly in love with each other it..makes me appreciate my job more than ever (I know I talk about how much I love my job a lot but hey.. there’s worse thing to say!). These two newlyweds are romantic, GOOFY, fun, loving, sweet, kind, and loving..with a Christ centered marriage made to last forever. Jessica said when she read my bio (she actually read my bio, can we be best friends already?), that she wanted a friendship relationship with her photographer so knew we were the perfect-pair. HEART SWOONS. Thank you guys for spoiling us with your kindness and allowing us to be a part of this stunning-day.
Jessica got ready to at The Tremont Hotel in Galveston, TX this March (yes, I am now officially only 2 months out from catching up on blogs vs the 4 months, what what!) and she had a photographer’s dream of details! Beautiful fine-art inspired pastel bouquets, a gorgeous long veil that we incorporated with her elegant something-blue wedding shoes, a custom wooden ring box, the most amazing invitation paper suite I’ve ever seen (she designed + made it herself!!), and even cute matching bridesmaid robes and champagne glasses. No detail was left untouched throughout the ENTIRE day and I LOVE me some details. They enjoyed sandwiches and fruits, champagne and laughter while having a hair and makeup artist pamper and beautify them all morning!
Adrian met his bride at the of the ceremony aisle at the St. Patrick’s Catholic church in Galveston, TX. The Tremont Bus took the girls to the ceremony and the guys were there getting ready in the back room of the cathedral. We met up with Adrian as his mom pinned his flower on his jacket. We snapped a few more detail shots of the programs and flowers behind the scenes before the ceremony started. The overcast day was perfect for my shooting-style, and the breathtaking Galveston church photographed so well under the shaded sky. After their ceremony we ran outside to take some family formal photos before the rain started to sprinkle on us and we all rushed over to the Ashton Villa house for the reception party!
The reception was jaw-dropping. As soon as you walked in there was gold and greenery in every corner with a mariachi band filling the sounds of the rooms with laughter and chatting filling in. It was warm, and the vibes were warm, cozy, and classic. There was a candy bar made by the brides mom, Alma, and each candy was individually wrapped to perfection. Bride + Groom covered pretzel sticks, golden hershey bars, rice krispy sticks, and so much more. Everyone made everyone feel like family, and they danced, ate, drank, and partied the night away!
One of the craziest (and most exciting) parts of weddings for me is we never stop MOVING. I actually prefer go-go-going like a hamster on a wheel, vs anytime that I have to stay still. This wedding was photographed in only 6 hours and we were able to jump from hotel, ceremony, to reception and photograph the whole-shabam and get ALL OF THIS AWESOMENESS… all before it rained <3. It went by in a blink for us and we enjoyed the ride. Whomever thinks wedding photography isn’t thrilling, isn’t doing it right!
