It was an offer I couldn’t refuse! A fellow photographer asked if I wanted to come help him out with a hot July night wedding….. Out near Beaumont, Tx! normally I wouldn’t drive that far (about 4.5 hours) to help out on a wedding. But my sister lives in Houston and my brand new little niece is barely 2 weeks old! So I had a great excuse to head east and help out a great photographer and see my new baby niece (oh, and my sis.. lol)
Stacey & Jeremy were super sweet! They had their wedding planned in their backyard, but this was not your normal backyard wedding! They had the use of theirs and the neighbors big yards – so there was plenty of room for the ceremony and reception tent. The skies turned dark while they were getting ready… and the rain came down! But then the skies cleared and we were in the clear.
Oh so we thought. The ceremony got started and was half way through when they opened back up and we had a sudden downpour! The bride and groom took it in stride and didn’t skip a beat and finished the ceremony. Luckily most guests brought umbrellas and we had a few to get to the wedding party.
We all took a shower mid-ceremony, but talk about a clean start to their marriage, right?!

Two sweet lovebirds for the couple
Talk about a wet kiss!!!
The POP of the champagne cork caught Stacey a bit off guard
ahhhh – the lovebirds
It doesn’t matter the crowd, it always seems the youngest guest can “get down” much lower than the rest of us…
Some left-over beverages from the evening
Stacey was torn between wearing her Mom’s wedding gown or a new one, so she came up with a wonderful suprise. She had her Mom’s dress altered to a coctail length and wore it during the reception. This is her grandma checking it out and giving her approval!
