A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of going to one of our favorite Texas places, Corpus Christi, to photograph Krystal and Tommy's wedding day. Corpus Christi is the perfect 'beach town' for us because it's a relatively short drive, but far enough away that it still feels like a mini-vacation. Not to mention my favorite hotel to stay at of like... all time (Omni Bayfront Corpus) is there. Sooooo anytime we get to go to Corpus it is a win-win.
Now.... it's extra special when we get to hang out with amazing people like Krystal, Tommy, and their families. We've had a wonderful time getting to know these folks. I remember it as clear as can be when we first heard from Krystal, many months ago. We were driving to Bay City to eat dinner at our favorite restaurant around here, The Fat Grass. Just as we pulled in the parking lot, the phone rang. All I could think about was how Luke answering that phone was putting more time between me and the warm bread and butter I was fixing to eat at Fat Grass. But.... I'm thankful he did, because it was Krystal, and she is special to us! :)
So without further adieu, we are excited to share Krystal and Tommy's gorgeous fall wedding (can we talk about how amazing her fall flowers were?) from the Corpus Christi venue,
The Ranch at San Patricio.
How adorable is this tiny little chapel that they said "I do" at?
Can you tell this couple has a sense of humor? This just happened on its own. Seriously... they are so much fun!
The reception was set with all kinds of gorgeous gold tones, fall flowers, and ivory linens. Here in Texas we don't seem to get much of a fall, so this was a breath of fresh air!
Why yes this IS a mariachi band! They serenaded the couple during cocktail hour and it was a wonderful addition to the reception!
During the father-daughter dance, Krystal's mom and brother watched on. Love this moment!
How lucky is Tommy to have a mother who makes him laugh like this! :)
Once the party got started, the dancefloor was packed all night!
At the end of the night, the amazing DJ (Johnny Hotcakes) coordinated these two lines where people would come down the middle dancing. It was glorious!
Krystal and Tommy, your wedding was so much fun and we are so thankful to have been a part of it! I only wish you guys lived closer so we could hang out all the time. We can't wait to keep track of you guys and the amazing things that are sure to be in your future!
