Those of you who have been following us for a while may remember that I photographed his brother Chris (and his bride, also named Linda , (who, btw, birthed a brand new baby Friday night! )) last year about this time as well. Jusselin and Chris’s mom Michelle passed in a car accident when they were both infants/toddlers and they’ve had a bit of a rough upbringing. It’s been great to watch them mature into the fine young men they’ve become – Michelle would definitely be proud.

Jusselin getting psyched up for the big event:





Linda and her dad have a fun moment before walking down the aisle:





Cross-the-church image of the wedding party – someone likes pink!





Linda was in the best mood all day, giggling at all of Jusselin’s jokes, even a few of the pastor’s.





Here’s the happy couple afterwards. We had lunch with them yesterday and they still haven’t stopped smiling :





Did I mention something about someone liking pink? The two salt and pepper shakers cake toppers are related to a scene in the movie “Fireproof” – if you haven’t seen it yet, rent it – powerful movie.





Photo of the bride and her dad dancing at the reception:





Lots more images going into their gallery in the next day or so. For those who haven’t heard of the salt and pepper shaker theme, here you go:

I just have to post a few of my favorite images from Linda and Chris’ recent wedding – the color was beautiful, but for most of the following photos black and white seemed to fit the mood better Chris is my nephew, recently home from Iraq and the Marines and Linda is his gorgeous bride from Harlingen, Texas. Lots of family from both sides attended, Linda and Chris will have plenty of support as they start out in life together. We love you both!





But wait! I am getting ahead of myself… the day started off like most summer weddings in South Texas – hot with a threat of rain showers. It had rained several times during the rehearsal the evening before so the planned outdoor wedding ceremony was moved indoors. We scrambled a bit to get everything ready and it turned out perfect Here’s a few from earlier in the day… one of the bride’s floral bouquets – lots of color and a beautiful arrangement:

Looking out past the wedding cake into the reception area:

Linda’s friend assisted with her getting ready – Linda is looking radiant!

Linda’s proud family looking on:

Afterwards, Chris’ Dad (David) gave Chris a toast he didn’t seem just too happy about

Linda seemed to enjoy it tho And the happy couple sets sail for a few days R&R:

Here’s the slideshow of the story of their day:

Their images are on the way to them, so I thought I’d post a sneak peek for them until I can get more online

As you can see.. Chris wasted no time once the pastor gave him permission…
