Well, the day final arrived and I was so excited! When I stepped outside however there was a menacing fog covering the city. But not to worry, it wasn’t long before the sun cleared the fog away. It turned out to be a perfect day to for Teela and Marty’s wedding at Westminster Presbyterian. The church was beautifully decorated by Kim’s crew at www.timelesseleganceweddings.com. Kim’s team also did a wonderful job on the reception at the Amarillo Civic Center’s Grand Plaza. I met Teela at the church early in the day and as soon as I saw the HUGE smile on her face, I knew it was going to be a great day!
While the girls finished getting ready Dustin Fuller (who graciously assisted me for the day) and I went to hang out with Marty. After a quick game of table hoops (in which the 3 year old ring bearer was the winner I think) we headed outside to create some wedding day photographs. The guys were a fun group and we all had a blast! Before long the guests were arriving and as the sun set over the church Teela and Marty were married. After a few family portraits we cruised to the reception!
The reception was elegant and fun–which was a perfect topper to the wedding. There were strings of beads and orchids hung from high up that seemed to fall like a gentle rain over the dance floor. The happy couple danced and laughed with all of their friends and family. It was a lot to take in and there were smiles everywhere I looked! My favorite end to the night was a moment when Teela and Marty were dancing together and it seemed as if the world around them was far away. Something about the magical contrast of that moment caused me to photograph it in black and white–a quiet contrast to the color that surrounded all of us.
Sherwin & Jenny, Jed and Lisa and most of all Teela and Marty-It was an honor to spend this happy time in your lives with you. You all have wonderful families. Thank you for the opportunity!
