Brandi and Brian had a wonderfully elegant and emotional ceremony and reception at the Dallas Arboretum on Saturday! The AMAZING Roxie and Cindy from Something Blue coordinated the whole affair and I just love these guys!! The beautiful cake was once again provided by the FABULOUS Lauren of Fancy Cakes by Lauren!(Lauren, I am going to have to make you an album of all these cakes you have done at my weddings!!) Darryl Ward did the great decor and William Ryan did a wonderful job with the music!(William is one of my favorite DJ's for sure!!)
Andrew, Aubrey, and myself had a great time with everyone and we got some INCREDIBLE shots as well! Here are few highlights from the day...

Before I saw these, I wouldn't have believed that anyone, including the bride and groom, could've looked as good as me on Saturday....You did an unbelievable job, Kevin! Thank you for your professionalism and hard work. Simply fantastic.

Great job on the amazing photos Kevin! You always do fabulous work and I love doing events with you. Brandi & Brian had such an amazing wedding and I love how you captured the emotions in each picture. When I look at these I feel like I'm there again! They were such a great couple and I know they are going to be thrilled with these memories. Keep up the awesome work!

My favorite is the soft kiss on her cheek by Brian while the breeze is gently kissing Brandi's other cheek. She is absolutely gorgeous!! There is so much love there, even the photo can's say it all. Blessings to them forever and always, Brian's favorite sister :O)

You all are a wonderful couple and I wish you all the best and look forward to continue being friends with both of you. The photographer did a fabulous job these pics are wonderful they show the emotion, beauty, and love that are all part of a wonderful wedding day. I had a great time and have fun in California.

Great wedding, great Pictures, Great Couple. I am very honored to be a part of such a special day. He should have posted the "Deer Wranglers".

I just can't stop looking at these photos....I also want to take a moment to thank everyone else who made this wedding the most special moment of my life. A lot of hard work went into it, and all I had to do was show up. Thank you all! I also want to thank those who travelled long distances to be a part of it as well. I know it is not always easy to do something like that. Brian thinks he is the luckiest guy in the world, but I might beg to differ....I feel pretty lucky as well to have such a wonderful sister and new brother.
Posted by: Blake Hall | April 15, 2008 at 09:34 AM
Wow Kevin, the pictures look amazing! Thanks for posting them some so quickly. I didn't really get to see the details until now because it was such a whirlwind of a day. I can't wait to see the rest. We love the "American Gothic" photo. Thanks for indulging us.

Oh, I see how this happened...you kissed a frog and Prince Brian appeared? Thank you for inviting us to be a part of your special day. I love the gothic photo and the first dance. Wishing you both a zillion years of happiness.

One of the most beautiful weddings we have ever seem. It was just like a fairy tale everything was so beautiful. The photo's are great. You could just see the love flowing between the bride and groom.

Kevin, you have an amazing gift. Brian & Brandi were very forunate to have you to capture their most precious moments, so not only will they have these moments in their book of life, but because you are so talented & able to capture the very essence of each second, they will forever be able to feel each emotion as it were happening again.

What an amazing day, and the pictures capture it perfectly. I love the Brandi Peggy hug and Brandi and Brian with her veil blowing in the wind. As Brandi can attest, I don't narrow down favorites very well, so I'll stop now. Fantastic, gorgeous pictures for a deserving couple and family.

Sorry about the spelling of genius. I got so emotional seeing the beautiful pics of my family that the tears blurred my vision. Anyway, Kevin, you are a genius to produce such wonderful pics of such a beautiful family. Have a Blessed day.

Okay, so I had to take a second look, and it still brings a smile to my face recalling the events of the day! It really was a great day for everyone who got to be a part of it. Thanks again Brandi! Can't wait to see the rest!
