dustin + cassidy wedding

PHOTOGRAPHYlissa-anglinComment

I knew leading up to Dustin and Cassidy's wedding that it would be nothing short of EPIC. And friends, it was. Dustin and Cassidy are a special blend of charisma, fun, and sentimentality- and together they have touched a lot of people by just being them.

Their early December wedding was at First United Methodist Church in Lubbock, and the Christmas poinsettias that decorated the sanctuary perfectly complimented the rich wine-colored dresses and snowy white muffs the bridesmaids carried. Cassidy was essentially the most perfect snow queen I have ever seen- in a white lace dress with a keyhole back and shoes dripping in rhinestones. 

We were granted some beautiful sunlight for portraits before the ceremony, but after the sun went down, the real fun began. Seeing as Cassidy is the owner of Dance Warehouse (recently voted Best of the West AGAIN), there were several choreographed dances at their fabulous reception- including one that Cassidy had no idea was coming. It was the sweetest moment to see little dancers (along with their teachers- many of whom were bridesmaids) flood the dance floor to perform for the new Mr. and Mrs.!

Some of my favorite images from this wedding were the dancing photos that I was able to do some light painting with. I love these because they really capture the feeling of the reception- what a celebration!

Thank you, Dustin and Cassidy, for trusting us to capture such a special day- you are truly #perfectlypeters!

I met Tori quite a while back when we first opened our store. She was- and she has continued to be- such a fun person to be around. Always smiling and positive, this lady knows what she likes and has great taste to boot. Enter Chase. Chase is also a ton of fun and very thoughtful. These two were friends before they were a couple and I think that's one of the reasons they work together so well. It's clear that they just go together. I'm so glad to know them and to have been able to capture their day. 

I was IN LOVE with the florals from Lou Dee's Floral and Gift Center. These guys rock. As beautiful as the bouquets looked, they smelled even better. One reason to get married in May- peonies!

This is one of those couples that makes me totally excited about my work. Really- I had the best time with them!  These two met while working at The Overton Hotel, so it was a must that we began there. I loved hearing about their relationship, how they got to this point, and watching them together. It was a great reminder that nothing happens by accident. While working on these, I think I selected about 80 favorites (not kidding)…so here are my faves! Congrats Chase + Tori!
