It's hard to believe that just a few days ago on Monday at Kim & Russell's wedding, it was about 60 degrees outside.  Warm enough to go outside for pictures, stay there for a little while, and not need a jacket to do it.  What a difference 3 days can make!  Here it is, Christmas Eve, and we're completely covered in snow!  Kim & Russell's beautiful wedding and reception took place at the Kemp Center for the Arts in Wichita Falls, and my photog/college friend Meegan Weaver was my second shooter.  I really enjoyed having her with me, and I think she liked the lower pressure job of second shooting!!  It's always fun to just let go and take some fun pictures from different angles than you're used to.  It was a sweet, intimate ceremony with only the closest of family and friends to share in the joy of the day.  It was almost like an early Christmas present to have everyone together!  Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs.!!

My view on top, Meegan's view on bottom.

I LOVE the light coming through Kim's veil in these shots!!

And now for Meegan's view...

Elevator shot, yall!  Holla!!

Again, my view on top, Meegan's on the bottom. 

Yes, I carry three cameras at once.  Crazy???  Maybe.  Whatevs, it works for me! 

Meegan did a shot like the one above and showed it to me on her camera, and with my fisheye lens, I was able to get lots in the shot.  Good idea, Meegs!!  LOVE how you can see what's going on inside and outside the ceremony...lots of anticipation!

And here's one of those fun, other-angle shots I was talking about being able to get when you're a second shooter... 

My guess is that this wish for the happy couple came from one of the mommas...

The shoes were my muse...oh yes.  Gorgeous.

Another cool angle from Meegan...

I've never taken Jamy for the farm-girl type, so I didn't expect for her sister to be either.  Boy, was I thrown for a loop when I showed up at the farm, and later left with cow poop all over my shoes!  Almost everybody had on their boots and jeans, but when I saw Jamy in her leggings and boots (not of the cowboy variety), I felt right at home...we were wearing practically the same thing!  Jamy, your family is precious, and I had a GREAT time hanging out with yall and the cows.

Besides the fact that a picture of grandparents with their grandkiddos is super sweet, I love this next pic because of the brown cow who is crashing the picture between the silos.  I guess he wanted his time to shine, too. 

What a great idea Alyssa and Kalynn had for their parents for Christmas...pictures, of course!!  I wish more older siblings would think to do this for their parents.  It seems as though family pictures sort of end when kids get into high school.  It's rare that I have families who have older kids that want family photos taken.  What a treat!  I hope they enjoy their surprise!!
