This past weekend I went down to Sweeny, TX to shoot the wedding of Jana and Jed.  I’ve know the bride for a long time.  Her older sister was my college roommate.  This was quite a different experience for me because I knew most of the family and I even stayed with them for the weekend.  It was cool to see a wedding from the side of the family….especially all the work that occurs AFTER the bride and groom leave.  Usually I’m out of there quickly after they are, but this time I stuck around while the family cleaned and packed up all the decorations and food.  And I sat up and watched (I was too exhausted to help) as they put all the food away.  I have a completely new respect for my parents and Saylor’s parents now after seeing how much WORK there is AFTER the wedding is over.  I know after my wedding I was so tired and they must have been also, but they still had work to do while Saylor and I finally got to rest and even went on VACATION!  Someday it will be my turn to be the parent who cleans it all up so I guess that is the circle of life.  Ha ha ha.

Anyway, I had a GREAT time and can’t wait to photograph the next Duncan girl’s wedding.  Whenever that may be. ;)  Love you guys!  Thanks for having me.

Here are some of my favorites.  Beware I had a hard time choosing so there are a ton!

The flower girl was SOOO tired.  She kept falling asleep….everywhere.  So cute.

The last one was requested by the mother of the bride.  Notice the empty pockets.  They have four daughters.  Can you imagine planning and paying for 4 weddings?  I asked the Dad if it was rough having four daughters and he said “I’ve always thought it was a blessing.”  I think I would have to agree.
