nicki & mike — eden gardens state park wedding

June 29, 2010 – 3:44 pm

this was the 1st wedding we have had the pleasure of working with shelby peaden, and hopefully there will be many more to come! the event was flawless, seamless, and visually stunning. we are so thankful that shelby sent us this wonderful couple to us as we totally fell in love with them!  upon first meeting nicki, we quickly learned that she was one of the most laid back people that we had ever met (which meant she was an extremely easy-going bride).  she had her very own room to get ready, while the rest of her bridal party was on the floor above, just to insure that she would remain as calm and collected as possible.  then we met mike.  he is such a goofball and a true kid at heart.  it’s no wonder they make such a great duo and decided to become a lifelong team.  the ceremony was (luckily) situated under the shade of an elderly moss-draped live oak and the earthy, anthropologie-inspired reception was down by the tucker bayou lending the pavilion as the dance floor.  since the entire anthropologie line is a huge favorite of ours here at the studio, this wedding has turned out to be one of our most adored of all time!  we had such a ball with nicki, mike and all of their guests in the funbooth that the scorching heat seemed bearable for the duration of the night.  and as the pastor at the ceremony said, ” if your love can remain as hot as this day in june then you’re sure to have a successful marriage”.  be sure to check out the photo-booth slideshow at the bottom which includes all of the wackiness*! thank you, nicki & mike, for choosing us as your photgraphers. it was an honor and we can’t wait to see you again! ~lindsey, ryan & the pure7 crew

paige & will…….we’re not in kansas anymore! ~Alys Beach Wedding Photographer

June 17, 2010 – 7:02 pm

paige & will were one of our many couples that planned their wedding remotely, with the help of the awesome planner jennifer, of it’s a shore thing. it was one of the few times that we did not have the pleasure of actually meeting the couple before their wedding day. when the day came, we all became fast friends.  paige, will and their families & friends are so warm, loving (and just a little bit crazy) so we all meshed together VERY well! their ceremony & reception was held at the pristine alys beach resort. this is one of our absolute favorite venues to shoot, so it was a treat for us. they decided to hire our “photo-booth” service which was a BLAST. we brought along our nifty chalkboard speech bubbles and boy did this wedding party put them to good use! we have displayed some of our favorite photo-booth images in a slideshow at the end of this post for your viewing pleasure! thank you, paige & will, for inviting us to share in this wonderful day. we look forward to seeing you again soon! ~erica
