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...

The pictures are awesome! Brandi looks amazing and she and Brian look so happy! Winnie, it certainly is hard to choose favorites, they are all so great and seem to capture a glorious event so well. I wish I could have been there in person, but as I couldn't I'm so happy to see the wonderful fotos. Congrats and much love to you, Brandi and Brian!

Beautiful Pics! Thanks for sharing. Guess my favorite is the "More Glorious Light" as they walk away from the camera but they are all beautiful. Congratulations to both of you!

Favorites? Where to start they are all so beautiful!! I have to say I love the one of Brandi getting her make-up done and the Gothic picture. And of course I love the one of my guy in the background. Brian yours is sort of cool too, you know, not bad for Mr. Whiskers anyway. Kevin you and your team did an outstanding job capturing every detail, down to the napkins. What a special blessing to be able to remember even the smallest of details of the most special day of your life. It is obvious you take your job very seriously and professionally but also with great feeling. Thank you for putting so much into my little bro's special day. Congratulations Brandi and Mr. Whiskers! Love ya lots!!!

Audrey: I wish I could have been at the wedding because the pictures were great and I want to see them in real life not in the pictures. I love you.
Ethan: I saw the wedding pictures and it made me really want to go to the wedding. My favorite picture was fooling around with the rings when the frog has them. I love you.

These pictures are amazing... I've got several favorites, but the pic of Brandi with her brother before she walks down the aisle is so sweet. Even sweeter, is the pic where Brian brushes her hair away from her face!! What a memory:)
