An Old Church and a White Dress

 

I was very fortunate to be asked to photograph the wedding of Elissa and Robert in Beaumont, TX. Their wedding took place in a GORGEOUS Episcopalian Church built hundreds of years ago. Though photographs aren’t permitted inside during the ceremony, I was graciously allowed to shoot from the balcony. And thank goodness. Because I am in love with this shot.

I’m a big believer in arriving to my weddings EARLY to get the detail shots like this:

And, of course, we can’t forget the dress:

And how perfect is this shot??! Could I possibly have had a better venue?!

And I just can’t get over the softness of Elissa’s bouquet…

The couple’s reception was picture perfect, with natural light flooding the ballroom through tons of architecturally fascinating old windows. Mmm…love me some interior character.

Of course, I wouldn’t leave without the classic “Bling” Picture.
