Remember Lindsay & Logan?  Their beautiful wedding was last week at Los Encinos here in San Antonio. I’ve known Lindsay and her family for almost 7 years now. We first met at church where Lindsay worked in the nursery and our lil’ Hudson dude was younger than lil’ p-diddy is now. He was probably about 4 months old. He got VERY attached to Lindsay. So much so that when it was time for him to “graduate” up to the next room when he started walking Lindsay had to ease him into the whole transition by staying with him for a little bit. He loved her. And now, she takes care of lil’ p-diddy Parker man on Sundays (when we actually make it these days).

I then started working with her mom, Traci at church and we became super good friends. Traci is the kind of woman that is a role model not only for her daughters but for other women. She loves to share her wisdom…um, with everyone. She has made me a better woman, a better wife, a better friend, a better Christian and a better mom and I was honored when they asked me to shoot both Tara & Lindsay’s weddings this Spring and Summer.

Like I mentioned before in the engagement post Lindsay is …very….very…organized. She made my job very easy. So I had to defiantely get a shot of the schedule she posted in all of the dressing rooms at the venue. No one was ever wondering what time we needed to start the next task.

We were pretty good in keeping with the time too. I wish I would’ve gotten a photo of Lindsay’s watch that she wore until the last possible second. I made her take it off once when we went out to shoot a few of her but she put that sucker back on so fast.

Here are a couple getting ready shots. Her cute little ballet slippers. Gotta love a girl that goes for comfort.

And a lovely shot of her mother tying up her ribbons.

She’s a pink girl. So naturally her colors were celdon and pink. The bridesmaid dresses were so cute. I loved that they were short and sassy…a little flair for the girls.

And here are a couple of my favorite shots of Lindsay. We did a full out bridal last month and I’m excited that I’ll finally get to share those too. We’ll get to those later though.

I always love doing detail shots and this time was no exception. The cake was so beautiful. Lindsay has impeccable taste when it comes to the flowers. They were gorgeous.

Logan’s father had passed away several years before but I was so glad to see him there. It was so touching to look over and see this photo of his father looking on and blessing this amazing day for them.

And Hudson’s best buddy Cole made another outstanding appearance as the ring bearer. Totally cute lil’ dude. Loved this sweet detail shot of him prepping for the big walk.

and here he is again after the ceremony flirtin’ with the girls.

And obvioulsy we can’t leave out the bride and groom.

I loved this group family shot of Lindsay, her two sisters, Niki & Tara and her parents. This was after the father daughter dance and they all cut in and danced as a group.

and i love this shot of the single guys participating in the tossing of the garter. i’m guessing that there were women involved in the cohersing them up there to begin with. Take a look at how they are all just standing there looking at the lonely garter on the floor in front of them. Even Cole didn’t want to pick the darn thing up!

Cole ended up with it in the end but we all know John is next on the list!

And this next shot is quite possibly one of my favorite shots ever. Lindsay had arranged for a special dance for her mom & dad. They will be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary in September and she wanted to make sure they were recognized for such an amazing accomplishment. This was am amazing moment for me to witness. As I looked on and watched Traci & Jess dance I got so emotional at one point I couldn’t even see out of my viewfinder. I watched as their 3 amaingly beautiful daughters and their newly extended family watched them from the sidelines. Each of them admiring the love they witnessed before them. I wondered what they each thought. Each of them so young, so in love and so ready to live their lives together. I thought about my own marriage and how one day I hoped and dreamed of such a moment in my own life. A moment where I would stand dancing with my husband as our 3 children and their spouses stood on and watched.

Celebrating and rejoicing in LOVE.

Congratulations Lindsay & Logan! Thank you both so much for allowing me to be a small part of your great big love!
