For them, the ceremony went off perfect and it was great that both sets of parents and Vances daughter were able to make it down as well… the more the merrier!

For me, the ceremony was slightly more painful.. lol The stones on Marriage Island aren’t set in very firm and (of course) I found the one stone that was loose and higher than the others and took quite a spill! Luckily all I ended up with was a good size bruise on my knee where I landed and I cracked a filter on my camera… Luckily it wasn’t enough to effect the functioning of the camera… but that is why a professional photographer always carries at LEAST two camera bodies to shoots! So with a small limp we finished the ceremony and got a chance to walk around and take a few good shots of them along the river.

Thanks for letting me capture this day for yall!!!

Even though Marla kept telling me she wasn’t photogenic and never looks good in any photos. I thought she was absolutely gorgeous in her dress and had such a sweet big Texas smile…. but I have to admit, even though I liked the shots, that I was worried she would hate them all. I was quite relieved when I got the email back that she loved every photo!!! ~whew~

Chris was the typical groom.. a little tense and not wanting to smile at first. But after the short ceremony he loosened up and Eric and I caught him smiling in a few photos >;-)
