About a month ago, I had the pleasure of shooting this couples big day and it was really amazing y'all. I often say I love my job, but couples like Krysta and Ryan make love seem so effortless, and when I have a couple like that, well. Its just the icing on my happy little photographer's heart shaped cake.

I began my day at the hotel with Krysta and her hilarious bridesmaids. Everyone was having a great time, very laid back, very excited and you could just feel the love surrounding the bride. Take note bridesmaids: that type of atmosphere is exactly what a bride needs on her big day. Oh, and a little champagne never hurt anyone, either ;)

The maid of honor even got a little bling on the bride's big day!

After the makeup was done and the hair was perfect, the bride changed into her dress and the gals hit the road. They hired a party bus (amazing) to transport them to the wedding ceremony at St. Bartholomew the Apostle Catholic Church in old Katy. Ifollowed behind in my little Honda Fit, wondering if my husband was willing to go back in time to hire a party bus for our wedding. Sigh.

When we arrived at the church, Ryan and his groomsmen were already dressed and ready to go. Bonus points for the guys! Ryan was adorably nervous, and his groomsmen were adorably supportive. Nothing like a bunch of emotional guys to really tug on a gals heart strings.

Their ceremony was a traditional Catholic wedding mass, and it was the first one I've ever photographed. It was a gorgeous ceremony, and as usual I tried not to cry behind my camera while the two were saying their vows.

Afterward, the entire wedding party got back on the party bus, and we headed to a nearby park to take some wedding party photos. My second shooter took over for the reception and I went home to begin the editing process ;) Congratulations to the happy couple!
