Awesome band + beautiful details + fun friends & family = reception perfection.

Cyndea and I were actually very disappointed for the wedding to end.  Sure our feet and backs hurt after hours of shooting, but we were having too much fun ourselves.  We were also treated like part of the family by the Langleys, which was never expected but so appreciated! 

And watching Lisa and Daniel throughout the day was so fun.  I loved seeing the note he wrote her scrawled on some random piece of paper that was delivered to her while the girls were getting ready.  And then the expression on his face as she walked down the aisle....awesome.  Always one of my favorite parts.  When I'm a guest at a wedding I usually miss the bride walking down the aisle because I'm craning my neck to get a glimpse of the groom's face.  I just love it.....so sweet.  I'm a sap, I know.

I loved watching Lisa and Daniel occasionally crack up for some reason while dancing.  It made me so happy to see they are not only in love, but have so much fun together.  That's so important!

Once again.....love. this. couple. 

What torture it is for photographers to only be able to share a limited number of photos on the blog.  Maybe I'll start doing slide shows on here....eventually.  Here are just a few of the million fun pics from the reception......

First of all, Happy Canada Day!  Not that I had any idea when it was until today :) But since our groom here is from Canada....I had to give our northern friends a little shout out.

I've loved getting to know this couple.  It started with our first meeting when I called Jessica by the wrong name....and then had their wedding date wrong...oops.  I'm just glad she could see past that and still wanted to hire me! 

Some of my all-time favorite photos come from their engagement shoot and Jessica's bridals.  What an easy and fun couple to photograph!  More to come of the wedding, but here's the beginning of their big day....

SO beautiful, Cat. You know how to capture the special moments and that means the world to me. Can't wait for the next installments!

I absolutely loved this shoot.  I had been looking forward to it for months.  After doing Jessica and Jamie's engagement pics, I knew she would be a beautiful bride.  And so natural!  I barely had to give her any kind of instruction the whole time.  She just did her thing and it was perfect.  It made my job a breeze!

I love the setting for these photos.  It worked out so perfectly with her dress and style.

I LOOOOOVE these bridals.  And when I share the rest, y'all will totally agree!  I was looking forward to this shoot from the day I took Jessica and Jamie's engagement pictures.  She is just one of those people who are, first of all, photogenic, and second, just know how to work the camera.  Haha....hope that totally embarrasses her!  But I just couldn't get over how natural and comfortable she was (or even if she wasn't, she sure seemed like she was a pro)!  I really didn't even have to tell her a thing.....just let her rock that camera.

Absolute beauty here....and this isn't even in my top favorites...

Jessica and Jamie tied the knot this weekend.  It was a great night with cool people, fun music, and a wedding cake that I was so tempted to touch every time I walked by.

I got to spend a few hours at the new JW Marriot Hill Country Resort yesterday.  I wish it was for my own vacation!  But actually it was for some engagement pics....second best reason :)

martha&jason kissing sunglare.jpgWe even had some cute pics with Jason's awesome kids.  They were sooo good and easy to work with.  I hope my kids turn out like that!

These two are soooo cute!  I just loved hanging out with them.  They were so easy-going and fun to be with.  And talk about cute couple to photograph!!  Lisa is one of those girls who is so pretty and always looks great (and has perfect hair!!).  And you want to hate her, but she's just so sweet and genuine that you can't help but love her.  She comes from a great family that I love and can't wait to work with more this summer!

Then there is Daniel....and he's quite a catch.  Although he went to Tech and I hold that against him (totally kidding), he is a true gentleman.  We had to run by my house in between locations to drop something off.....and before I could get my pregnant self even out of the car, he had already grabbed it out of the back and was walking it up to my husband.  Maybe they just didn't want to wait on slow-mover here to get it done, but I think I'll just give him credit for being a gentleman :)

So enough of me telling y'all how much I like this couple.  Here are some cute pics....

When you can't post a pic of the bride in her dress, you can at least post one of the cool flowers!!

IMG_9026 B&BOa logo copy.jpgI'm only partially through her pics....but they are beautiful.  Can't wait to post them after the wedding!

I just love these two.  I had such a great time hanging out with them and getting to know a little more about their story. 

And I had a really hard time picking just two photos for the sneak peek, but here they are.  The first one just showing the "realness" of these two.  We had some good laughs that day.

We have been SLOWLY collecting great vendors for our resource page (as well as other cool sites).  We want to be very selective and give you the best of the best around here.  And we are keeping them all local for now (local to Texas at least).

If I didn't feel so crummy and then take off for the big game...I might have a blog about one of them for you today.

IMG_8905 B logo copy.jpgBut I don't.  Just a random cool pic from a store I visited recently.  Sorry for the lame-o post, but girl needs a break sometimes (even after a 2 week holiday...but whatever).  This pregnancy is finally starting to slow me down.........just a little longer!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and stays WARM!

What a great way to start off this year.......super cool bridal session! 

IMG_8370a pp logo copy.jpgI love the next one because it reminds me of the laughs we had as I was crawling through the grass with my large belly.  I'm sure we got some stares from the people around us!

IMG_8672 br&pp&B&SOM&br logo copy.jpgI'm LOVING the rest of the pics....just got to finish going through them!

These two smarties are both doctors (or will be soon...I forget).  Anyway, they are not only smart, but good-lookin' too! 

We trekked around the UT campus (since Brian went there) and got lots of great shots.  They were so easy-going and seemed really comfortable in front of the camera.  It was great....and made my job even easier. 

And then the occasional funny pose from Brian was always entertaining :)  I love couples with a sense of humor!

How cool is it that I got to meet a random couple from Nebraska and Colorado and shoot their engagement pics?  So random, but very glad to extend Peacock Photography outside of Texas (even if we didn't physically go out of the state)...but close enough :)

They were such a cute couple and it was fun walking ALL OVER downtown SA.  They humored me and my determination to hit certain spots before leaving.  Then we got some great shots as the sun was disappearing....love those pics!

This is an example of great color choices.  I just love the way these pictures turned out with Jessica's pink shirt, both of them in jeans, and her jewelry and scarf.  Just a great combination of things that really worked well.

Besides that, Jessica really knows how to work the camera.  Jamie, sorry, but she makes you look good :)  I had a great time with them downtown just walking around and getting to know them better.  Can't wait to document the rest of this fun process of getting hitched!
