Jasher and my husband work together and were also roommates for a few months, so we know this couple very well. Jasher’s a great guy with a very forgiving personality. I know this because I accidentally dead bolted him out of his own apartment one night. He had to throw rocks at the window to wake me up so I could let him in. Hopefully he likes these pictures enough to call it even. 
Lindsey has the best fashion sense of anyone I know (well, I might call it a tie between her and her “Irish twin” sister), and so I was very excited to see her customized Carolina Herrera dress. It started out strapless and she went through nine fittings to make it temple-ready. Nine! I barely made it through two. As I expected, her makeup, shoes, accessories, and dress were all perfection, but I think my favorite part of her look was the huge smile she displayed throughout the day.
A very big thank you to Philip Thomas for letting me act as guest/second shooter for the day. It was a little rough in the beginning, this being my first “wedding shoot” and with all of those mirrors in such a small space, but he was infinitely patient with me and more than willing to offer advice and pointers. If you’re looking for a discreet photojournalistic wedding photographer with a charming accent in southern Texas Philip is the way to go!
The day started at Lindsey’s childhood home, with the bride and her sister getting their makeup done in mom’s bathroom.
She’s pretty.
Lindsey’s baby, Coco, got a new dress just for the wedding morning. She was moping around a bit, and I think it was because she knew that her mama was going away for a few weeks. (To Aruba!)
At an LDS wedding the photos of the couple emerging from the doors married are as iconic and wonderful as the first kiss photos at other weddings. Photos aren’t allowed inside the temple so these are the very first documented moments as man and wife.
Beaming!
I know and love every single one of these girls. And freely admit to feeling a little bit dowdy when we all get together because they all look t his fantastic every single time they leave the house. Actually, I would bet they all look this fantastic while lounging around the house as well. And don’t even get me started on what their combined shoe collection would look like. Utopia.
Between the temple and the reception there was a nice break several hours long. We all snacked, laughed, and took a few quiet moments before the party began. Though the day was a little bit longer overall, I think the two of them really appreciated having a moment to breathe in the middle of their celebrating.
The Father of the Bride’s toast was hort. Like just a few sentences short. But I love this knowing look exchanged between sisters that says “Yeah, this is exactly what I thought would happen.”
THAT SHOT!
It’s grainy, I know, but look at the expression on her father’s face. This is his youngest daughter and it’s obvious he adores her.
And I also for some reason love the framing with the disco ball and the DJ in a tux and bowtie in the background.
“Throw your hands up and shout!”
“And also, throw your stuffed giraffe in the air.” What the?
Jasher and Lindsey, I love you guys. Thanks for inviting us down to San Antonio to spend the weekend with you. The river walk was lovely, the temple was perfect, and my back ached for days after all the dancing I did at your amazing reception. I’m looking forward to the many dinner parties and game nights I expect to have with you in the future!
Best,
Jenna
