Tulsa Wedding: Abby and Brandon

One year ago to the day Abby and Brandon said "I do."  And now they decided to have a beautiful ceremony and renew their vows on their one year anniversary.  Awww!  With close friends and family Abby and Brandon looked into each others eyes and announced their love for each other, again.

With both the ceremony and reception at the beautiful IDL Ballroom in Downtown Tulsa, we had more than enough spots to take photos.

I love the rustic/urban/industrial feel of downtown Tulsa.

Abby and Brandon opted to see each other prior to the wedding.  I actually found a beautiful indoor spot that had plenty of natural light from a whole wall of windows.  (Lovvvvved it!) We decided to take quite a few of the photos there, because it was so stinking cold out!

Such a gorgeous couple!

Thank you so much for including me in your special day!  You are such a wonderful couple with a beautiful family and friends.  We had a great time!

Until next time,

Weddings: Same Day Slideshows

I just love doing same day slideshows for my wonderful couples! 

What's a Same Day Slideshow?

The slideshow is a sneak peek of the wedding day for the wedding party and guest. While guests are eating dinner during the reception, I quickly grab 30-40 of my favorite images of the wedding day and put together a slideshow to be displayed on my laptop.  I love putting together a slideshow because it acts as a conversation piece on the wedding day and encourages guests to have a discussion about the bride and groom.  ex.  Oh my goodness Jessie looked so beautiful on her horse, Terry and Lisa look so much in love....I'm so happy for them!

The results of these conversations are priceless. When guests see the photos displayed the same day, most often they respond by complimenting the newly married couple on how beautiful their day was and/or how lovely they look together. With technology being as quick as it is, the first wedding photos the bride sees are those she's been tagged in Facebook. And let's be real...dancing photos sometimes aren't the best reflection of a beaming bride. I, instead, offer the opportunity for her to see photos the night of her wedding and know everything came together the way it was supposed to.

No, the photos that are in the slideshows aren't edited.  But that's not the most important factor to me.....it's the experience.  Why wait a month to see a preview of your professional photos.....when you can see them the same day they were taken!  Experience!

Below are a few of my same day slideshows that were actually viewed at the receptions......no editing and no changing.  This is what I like to call "Same Day SlideShows in the RAW!"
