Jessica & A.J.: Married – Tulsa Wedding Photographer

Andrea — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:48:53 +0000

Well… so much for posting all my 2011 weddings in 2011. I tried, I honestly did. And I thought I was pretty close. But then I remembered a bunch few that somehow didn’t make it. I do have an excuse for 2 weddings in that they were at the very end of 2011. And Jessica and A.J.’s was one of them. You’ll find this post heavy in portraits because a) I love doing them and b) Jessica loves having them done. So we had all sorts of fun playing around downtown Tulsa. The day had some super memorable moments. The day of their wedding also happened to be on the day of the Parade of Lights and the Jingle Bell Run. Not to mention the other Christmas festivities going on downtown. Needless to say… downtown Tulsa was packed! But Jessica LOVES attention (and who can blame her?) and she was eating up all the honks, hoots, hollers and congrats she was getting! She and A.J. even took off running along the 5k’ers which made for an hilarious pic. (which for some reason didn’t make into the blog). The ceremony was at Trinity Episcopal and the reception at the Tulsa Convention Center. If you haven’t seen the convention center since its been revamped, you must! Its a great location for a reception!! We’re just jumping right in here, with the first look!!

Gorgeous makeup on Jessica by Faccia Bella!

Brides note the details here… colorful socks for the boys are a fun addition!! Gives them their own flair!

So the highlight of my day was when we were running around the crowds downtown, a woman ran out and asked us to come into their brand new restaurant to do some pics. So its kind of a photographer thing (or maybe its just an Andrea thing) to get to photograph in a place no one else has. So yeah, bragging rights. The restaurant is Edward Delks and you MUST try it out!! I haven’t been yet, but the owners are amazing and oh so hospitable! They treated Jessica and A.J. fabulously and I’m guessing they do that for all the patrons of their restaurant.

Still Edward Delks. Awesome, right?

Florals were by the incomparable, Bridal Garden!! Love that Lindi! She’s so talented!!

We can’t forget Mr. T here. He is so darn cute!! And I love that expression. Shows that he can be a little rotten, but only in the best way of course!

Instead of the best man handing over Jessica’s ring, Jessica’s little man did. Such a sweet moment!

Another one of April’s brilliant ring shots! Love it!!Jessica decided to do a special dance with her dad, mom and son.

Stationery created by Paper Girl! Love them too!!And what’s a wedding without an surprise choreographed dance!! The guests loved it!!

Cookies and Milk? Yes please!!This kid knows how to shake what his mama gave him!! He was quite the little dancer!

Jessica and A.J., you know I love you guys!! Your wedding was as fabulous as you are!! And of course thanks to my fabulous second shooter April. She’s of course responsible for a number of these images!!

Brittney & Nick: Married – Claremore Wedding Photographer

I met Brittney in September of 2010, and shortly after that she booked her November 2011 wedding with me. It was a long engagement, but its been such a blessing getting to know her and her mama! I had been excited about this wedding for awhile because a) I knew it was going to be fabulous and b) I love photographing Brittney and Nick. They’re ridiculously good looking and are an absolute dream to work with. They held their rustic Italian themed wedding in Claremore at First Baptist Claremore and their reception at the Centennial Center at Rogers State University. A couple weeks before the wedding I noticed that Brittney had started pinning a lot of wedding pictures with old pickups on Pinterest. Come to find out, their getaway car was a newly restored red truck. Oooooh you know I was happy. So I asked if it could go out to the park with us for the portrait session! yay oh yay oh yay!!

I don’t know what it is about these shots that April took, but I love them. They’re so simple and beautiful. You’re gonna see lots of details of flowers and decor all done by Flower Play Designs. Soooo gorgeous!!A lot of girls are now doing first looks with their daddy’s. Its such a sweet emotional moment and this one did not dissapoint. Brittney is the only daughter in her family, and so it just makes it extra special that she’s Daddy’s only little girl.

Ya know I love me a fabulous first look!! LOVE this moment!!!yup. Red truck. Fabulous right?! And are we loving the custom signs??

Ohmahgah. I love the colors and aren’t the bridesmaids gorgeous?? Such a good looking wedding party!!!

This may be my fave. I love it.My view.

April’s view.Nope. This is my fave.

Okay I have to point out that these pictures would NOT be this fabulous without the professional lighting! You MUST have professional lighting, ESPECIALLY in a ballroom!! Check out Empire Lighting!!I can’t get over how much I love this picture!! Its freakin perfect!! April rocks my face off!!!

Brittney and Nick, what can I say? Your wedding was incredible and I just love you guys!!
