Jessica & Brad's Wedding at Christ Church & The Wyche Pavilion

What do you get when you add a reception full of lawyers, alcohol and a bunch of left-over sparklers? Well apparently a fire that required an extinguisher to put out. We had already left with the couple for some end-of-the-night shots but we heard the tale later. Luckily no one was injured. The rest of the day was catastrophe-free though and everyone had a great time despite the relentless heat.

Please enjoy some of our favorites from Jessica & Brad's beautiful wedding.








What a gorgeous bride Jessica made.





The beautiful Christ Church in all it's splendor! Truly capturing the amazing (and bright) stained glass in such a dark church does pose a photographic problem though. This is actually two shots combined to retain the detail and color in the glass but still have the ceremony scene well exposed. It's just one more extra touch that we feel is an important one and makes us not just photographers but photographic artists.


We loved the expressions as they burst through the church doors. This and several others made a great series in the couple's album.


Love it!














Jessica's uncle was quite the dancer and it sure looked like he had fun. Don't you just love cooky old guys?!


Brad rocking out with the awesome band Hit Mob 7. Definitely a band to scope out if you are looking for crowd-pleasing live music.





What makes this exit even more cool is that Brad and his dad have been restoring this antique Datsun since he was a teenager.


So naturally it had to have it's own photo shoot...



And of course we could not leave their furry friend, Rutledge, out of the fun. After all, they even made a lil' doggie tux for him. What a handsome devil!
