Jayson and Michelle's wedding at The Fossil Creek Ranch - Ada, Oklahoma

Jayson and Michelle's wedding was the second wedding I assisted David with while I was in Oklahoma. This was a really fun wedding with lots of laughing, crying, more laughing and... oh yeah, more laughing! The wedding ceremony was in the town of Ada, Oklahoma. Michelle was beautiful and Jayson was a stud. She didn't know about it but Jayson planned a song to sing to her during the ceremony and he did an awesome job! Right after the ceremony, the whole wedding party jumped into a party trolley and headed to the reception, which was held at The Fossil Creek Ranch.

The Fossil Creek Ranch is a really cool converted barn. There was a tent for the reception of over 200 people and the place was beautiful. One fun fact from the wedding was that Blake Shelton was one of the groomsmen and he was also accompanied by Miranda Lambert. He gave one of the funniest speeches I've ever heard at a wedding and the whole place was cracking up! It was called... "Thanks a lot Michelle... by Blake Shelton", it still makes me laugh, just to think about it!

Anyway, here are some of my favs.

Lee and Nicole's Wedding - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I love being a wedding photographer, it's such an honor to be a part of one of the most important days in a couples life together! It's also so cool to see how no matter where you are in the world, weddings have the same key elements... families, friends, happy couples, beautiful brides and lots and lots of partying! haha

I was in Oklahoma to visit an awesome photographer, David Baxter and most importantly, to assist him with a couple weddings. Everyone at Lee and Nicole's wedding were so wonderful. Nicole was beautiful and Lee was tight and neat in his uniform. An honor guard was present and the roses on the cake were hand made... what a perfect day.

David is such a great guy and we have way too much fun when we shoot together. At one point, we were both out on the dance floor! haha I love being a wedding photographer!

Here are some of my favorites from Lee and Nicole's wedding at Coles Garden in Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial

I had the opportunity to visit my good friend David Baxter in Oklahoma City to assist him with two amazing weddings this past week. I had never been to OKC so I was looking forward to this trip. David is an awesome photographer in OKC with an amazing family. I had way too much fun out there and they took me in and made me a part of the family. Tessa and their two kids Kyle and Nikki were so great. Thank you guys for everything, you really made me feel at home!

While I was there, David took me all over the place. I wanted to see the OKC Bombing Memorial and he took me one day to see the tour and the site. The memorial was pretty amazing, they did a beautiful job. Two gates stand tall with a reflecting pool between them. The times on the gates represent the innocence of the city at 9:01 am and at 9:03 am, how everything was changed forever. Chairs arranged on a lawn to the side represent the lives lost. Arranged according to their locations in the building; large chairs represent adults and little chairs, the children. It's a moving experience and I recommend visiting the site if you ever get a chance.

Here are some pictures from the memorial.
