Emily and Mark are Married!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Emily and Mark's wonderful wedding at St Patrick Cathedral in Fort Worth. What a beautiful church to work in and what a gorgeous fun couple to work with. Emily and Mark had fun all day. Their reception was at Anglin Occasions, and even though it was over 100-degrees on their wedding day everyone still had a great time. Here are the highlights.

Mark sent Emily a sweet massage while she was getting ready. Love that!

 Her boots and dress.

Jewelry.

Bling :)

 A kiss from the flower girl while getting ready. What a cutie this one was. 

 Putting on the veil.

 The beautiful bride and the handsome groom just before the ceremony. I love the stained glass windows at St Patrick's!

 Mark tears up as he sees Emily coming down the aisle with her dad.  What an amazing moment.

 I like this shot of the little girl trying to get a better view.

 Some ceremony photos.

Pure joy.

 This is a gorgeous couple.

 The fabulous girls.

The handsome guys.

Some alone time in front of the Church.

They had a mariachi band serenade them at the reception. How cool is that?! 

 First Dance.

Perfect.

 Dancing with dad and mom.

 Toasts

 The purple drinks and purple cake. It was purple on the inside too!

 Cake!

 Love it when the girls go after the bouquet.

 Love it even more when the guys go after the garter! So many times it falls on the floor. Not this time :)

 Her brother sang a song them them. What a sweet moment.

 He's a firefighter so they had to take a few photos in the photo booth with fire helmets. Super fun!

 A few photos outside just before the exit.

 And a rose petal send off.

Congratulations Emily and Mark! I should have the rest of your photos online in a few days. I hope you love them all!

Friday Night Football

College Football on Friday Night? In Texas? Wow! Last night The TCU Horned Frogs played the Baylor Bears in Waco and it was an unbelievable game. The final outcome wasn't what I expected...I haven't seen the Horned Frogs lose in years! Here are some highlights.

Purple hands...purple Frogs.

 TCU's quarterback scores in the first quarter

 Another first quarter touchdown. It was a really high scoring game with lots of action.

 And. Its. Third Down! I love that at Amon Carter and it was fun to see it on the road as well.

 Defense.

 Baylor stopped TCU from scoring on passes to the endzone several times.

 Second Quarter

 Scramble

 Trying to get to the Baylor QB. He was really good and his offensive line really kept the Frogs away most of the game.

 An incomplete pass in the third quarter.

 Prayer.

 I noticed this player on the bench with TCU shaved into his hair. It was hard to see it all at once because it wrapped totally around his head. Cool! You can see the TC...Texas Christian, that's the important part anyway.

A series of photos of the quarterback. Handoff, getting the play from the bench, dropping back and passing. 

 Passing through traffic.

So I totally think Coach Patterson is a genius. Somehow he motivated his players to come back from a 24-point deficit to almost win the game. As a teacher, I'm always in awe of the motivational skills of coaches. How do they keep their players from giving up? How do they get them to push past what they "think" they can do. I need to go to coaching school.

At the end of the third quarter...the little fans were sad, the big fans were sad.

Fourth Quarter: The comeback. A few nice runs

 The helmet comes off.

A touchdown and a two-point conversion.

 Another touchdown for the Frogs.

 And I thought this was it. I really did. TCU forced the Baylor QB to fumble the ball, recovered the fumble and scored to make it 48-47. I was wrong.

 There was too much time left, Baylor was able to kick a field goal and then with second left they intercepted a pass to stop TCU and win the game. For the first time in years I had to photograph the TCU quarterback leaving the field sad. That was different.
