Weddings by JRP and KRP

So we all know I’m a fan of Rocktography, but what we didn’t know is that Rocktography on Boats is even more fun than on land.

Check out these cool shots from a recent wedding we photographed.

Saturday was a day full of beer and music…. and beer and dogs…. and beer and hay!
What more could you ask for?
Saturday afternoon, Kandice and I loaded up and headed down to Mansfield for the wedding of Lauren and Kurt.
Their wedding was an amazing mixture of country fun (on a ranch!) and modern flair (hot pink sashes on the girls!)
From their pond-side ceremony with guests perched on bales of hay, to their red-barn reception complete with margarita machine and a candy/treat bar, not one detail was missed. I was in awe!

First, as usual, Kandice and I had to sneak off for a little rocktography!

In addition to the ring bling, Lauren wore a beautiful necklace and earrings…. both of which were passed down from grandmothers. In fact, the necklace included a stone from her grandmothers original engagement ring!!

but some bling was straight from the bride!

Next we headed out into the heat for the ceremony

Then off for some bridal party shots!

As the sun began to set, everyone scooted back outside for a slideshow of photos from the bride and grooms childhoods.

And last, but never least, we snuck the bride and groom away for some after-dark photos!

Congratulations Lauren and Kurt! Your wedding was beautiful, and I hope your honeymoon goes just as smoothly!

A few weeks ago, Kandice and I shot the wedding of Nikki and Michael.
While things certainly didn’t go as planned, I couldn’t have imagined a couple that could have handled it with more grace than Nikki and Michael did.

The morning of their wedding, Michael had an unfortunate accident involving their tiny dog, Duke. The accident resulted in a pretty decent scratch to Michael’s iris, which required that he keep his eye taped, and use an eye patch. Yes, on his wedding day.

I think at first, everyone was a little bit in shock, but we all quickly realized that sometimes things happen that are our of your control… and you can either choose to be amused or be irritated. We all settled on amused.
Michael was a trooper from the start, and proceeded to joke with us the remainder of the night about how it really should have been a pirate themed wedding anyways. One of the bridesmaids even sent her husband out to pick up novelty eye patches for the rest of the bridal party to take a photo in! Perfect!

The ceremony and reception were downright BEUATIFUL with hot pink and black/white damask accents. It was seriously a photographers dream wedding. Not one detail was missed, though I’m bummed that I forgot to grab a little box of chocolates for the ride home. Ha!

With a super fun bridal party and parents who could clearly see how in love their children were, the stage was set for an amazing evening.

So here is a quick preview from their happy day. And Nikki? Even if the eye patch isn’t funny now, I swear to you, it will be in another few years. It will be just another hilarious and goofy thing the two of you “did together once… when you were much younger”.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to update our blog really quick and get you all to join me in telling Kandi adios for the weekend.
She’s headed out to Colorado to shoot a wedding, so she’ll be MIA for a few days.
I noticed that she hadn’t had a chance to post her previews on here, but they ARE on HER blog…. and frankly they are just too good to miss, so I thought I’d help her out while she’s out of pocket and post them for you all to see!
Hope you enjoy these and wish Kandi safe travels!

And if you are contacting us about booking a wedding this weekend, don’t be surprised if it takes until next week to get a response. While Kandi is in Colorado for a wedding, I’m heading to Ooooooooklahoma wherethewindgoessweepingdowntheplains (sorry, couldn’t resist) for a Boudoir event! But we promise to return your emails/calls ASAP! Thanks!

Bryan & Amber

This is just a *very* brief preview for Amber, because I know I won’t have time to post more of her photos until at least the end of the week. So Amber, I hope this ties you over a bit!

Amber + Bryan were married on Saturday, so Kandi and I trekked over to Fort Worth. The location they chose (a golf course) was *so* beautiful. We were really excited to see the outside of the building, as the details were amazing.

Inside, the entire reception room (and bridal party!) was decked out in black, white, and red. Very classy, very modern. We loved it.

Here are a few favorites from their special day:
