The reception was held inside on the second floor and was a lovely venue with dark paneling, big windows and colorful art!  The guest loved the food (especially the shrimp appetizers)!

I was shooting with Eric of Downtown Imagery for this wedding and got the honor to be in with Allison while she was getting ready.  This was a great fun couple and we wish the best in starting out their new life!

We met up at JP Luby beach and looked around for a spot that wasn’t already occupied. It wasn’t too hard to do at 9am on a Sunday morning.

Their first outfit was Texas down to the boots on the beach! We walked around on the beach for bit and then headed down the beach and into the dunes for some shots. They figured out pretty quick that boots aren’t made for walking in soft sand.. heehee

After the dunes Katie changed into a sweet little white dress – perfect beach wear! I love the photos of her leaning on him looking out at the gulf!

Then we headed down to the pier… Lots of people fishing and some even catching stuff. There were several turtles popping their heads in and out of the water and tumbling around. Too Cute!

A big thanks to my assistant for the day – Marissa! Marissa is a friends daughter (that I’ve known since she was born) that is a HS Junior down there in CC. She’s been interested in photography and asked lots of good questions about posing and client interaction – and did a great job of helping me keep my gear out of the sand. lol Thanks sweetie!
