Bethany Tyson-Cook and Brian Sharp Wedding

If I have any energy left after this hot (almost) Solstice day, a few more images are to come later tonight from this lovely mid-week wedding at Whitestone Country Inn. Including Brians leap of faith, a ravishing kiss and their heart hands (awwwww). Along with several more weddings from the last couple of weeks. Thanks to Bethany for including me as part of the family celebration, and everone’s patience with a tired little one paid off big time with the family portraits. Big fat yay!

Suzanne Evans and Chad Farmer

Suzanne’s Mum did a superb job of making the wedding cake shown below, and the candy bar was too tempting for me not to take home a couple of boxes of huge tart bubble gum balls for the girls.

The beauty of an outdoor ceremony, when everything comes together, is that bright California look. Even more dramatic can be the lighting and clouds brought on by inclement weather. So an outdoor wedding ceremony at Crescent Bend, with its lovely layered gardens, has lots going for it. While some understandably can’t handle the element of risk with the weather, many of those who can do reap the rewards.

Suzanne and Chad rolled the dice and lucked out with the storms. All the family photographs and ceremony were completed before the cool clouds turned menacing and then followed thru with their promise.

(DJ Jim Ogle kept his laptop on the local radar and we planned on clearing his exposed ceremony sound gear asap. Unfortunately Murphy’s Law had it’s way with his covered sound equipment, near the end of the reception when it rained cats and dogs. After his third piece went out was the only time i’ve seen him not smiling. It rained so hard it splashed back in under the tent.)

The pretty bouquet was placed in the fountain by a groomsman immediately following the ceremony. And the last teaser image here is to illustrate “a little” photoshop lighting retouching. A little on the heavy side to add some drama.

…. and as everybody waived them off from indoors, Suzanne and Chad ran out to their car in the rain for their exit. Pulling out my scuba camera gear I was able to follow without fear ….. but you’ll have to wait for their finalised album design to be posted here to see those images.

Kellie Parsons and Jake Goza

Like all brides, Kellie had a few things she really wanted to happen on her wedding day, if possible. Said “No big deal” if circumstances worked against it, after all it’s an event with many variables coming together. But who doesn’t their wedding day to have some special elements that have personal meaning?

An outdoor wedding was one criteria, but potential weather issues were a large consideration picking the location. So a World’s Fair Park wedding became an L & N Station Building wedding, where the reception was already planned. This meant a white carriage ride could still happen. And the ceremony to reception transition would be easy.

Time and technology came together for Kellie and Jake, and their downtown First Sight photographs. iPhone radar weather tracking from weatherunderground.com showed them there would be a small break in the weather … and they’d built in enough time to take advantage of it. Thanks to Mel for being the umbrella and transportation gaffer. And finding an unusual portrait location.
