Thanks so much Ashley & Kami! (and a big thanks to Tara & Eric Proctor for the amazing wedding and Judy Lehmbeck for the planning)

Tara & Eric // 1/12/08

for return guests:
Tara's bridal photos are in the post below this one...

Wow! I am fired up about how many killer images we got on Saturday! Tara, her Mom, Tami & Wedding Consultant, Judy Lehmbeck did an amazing job of putting on a gorgeous winter wedding!!!
I can honestly say that it is families like these that make me love my job. I haven't had much more than a Sunday off since last April and usually those are spent just staying off my feet but being able to capture some of the best and most important moments and details of peoples lives certainly keeps me going.
This officially kicks off my re-vamped blog for 2008 so I hope you will tell everyone you know to come check it out.
Bigger images, more posts and Pro Content for other photographers are just a few things in store.

Congrats to Tara & Eric who are livin' it up in Disney World.

Ok, here are all the artists & designers that made this wedding shine:
Wedding Consultant: Judy Lehmbeck
Dress by J.J Kelly


oops, I forgot these the first post...
Tara was so excited about her Carrie Bradshaw shoes! Nice!


Bride & Groom by: Tara Thomas and Eric Proctor




Floral Design by: Ky Payton
Salon for the bride and bridal party: The Spotted Zebra (hair & make-up)









In case you didn't know, Eric is a Oklahoma State Representative from Tulsa. It is good to know there are some truly good men in state politics. All he did all night was care for Tara. Bravo!

Thanks to Jessica Claire for the good idea on how to shoot this one!



Here are a couple beautiful details and great moments caught by my second shooter, Bethany. Nice Job!




I don't know who this girl was but she has been watching Dancing With the Stars. She had some serious moves for her age.

Tie off... Party On!


I have been dying to show off Tara's bridal photos. Check back tomorrow.

Ok, I did the hard part, now you have to at least let me know who is here looking. I really want to know this year who visits. So you must comment! Do it! :)

Tara's Bridal Photos

We shot these back in October and I have been really looking forward to showing them off. We also produced a Bridal Fashion Book (you'll have to ask Tara to see it) and of course a beautiful custom framed print for the reception. I am so satisfied with the great hand crafted companies I have found to produce such great products.

here's just a few...ok, 8 few.
