Wow! What a perfectly beautiful day for a wedding. The sun was shining and the sky was as blue as blue can be without a rain cloud in sight. Matt & Gabbie had their ceremony over at Valley Christian Church in Longview on Saturday the 26th, 2010. I had never been inside before so it was a first for me.
My assistant Carlo and I arrived at 1:30 and we shot some getting ready photos along with all of the family formals before the ceremony. The ceremony was short and sweet and before we knew it, the ceremony was over and off to the reception we went.
The reception was held at the Monticello Hotel in Longview which is a beautiful place if I must say so myself. While everyone else got settled in and mingled we went across the street to the park and got some awesome shots of just the bride and groom. These are always my favorite and the ones that always get hung up on the walls to be looked at through the years.Luckily there was shade or we probably would not have been out there very long at all because it was hot hot hot!
Afterwards we went into the ballroom where the wedding party and all of the guests were waiting. We spent the next couple of hours getting all of the important shots such as first dance, cutting the cake, garter and bouquet toss and then the guests getting their boogy on down on the dancefloor. Good times.
I even got sent home with some cake for my kids…so sweet. Thanks!
Well here is the first preview: The bridal party and the shots of the Bride and Groom at the park.
More to come soon so keep checking back.
Feel free to leave warm wishes for the happy couple below the slideshow.
