Jeff and I met up with the ladies on a very nice beautiful morning 8 a.m. at the W-Salon Group (former Wilbern Salon). Leah is a stylist there and they are remodeling the place. The ladies all had the salon to themselves. With three stylists doing all the ladies hair they were done in no time. Leah did her mom's hair after her's was finished. About 10:30 the guys started to arrive at the church all ready and dressed in their tuxes for pictures. As Jeff was taking pictures I was over in the Parish where the ladies finished getting ready putting on their dresses and applying make-up. One of Leah's friends she met while living in Colorado came from Nashville, TN to be a part of Leah's wedding and did Leah's make-up. Leah received a gift from Brad when she arrived at the church. It was a tiny little box with diamond earrings inside. She was impressed he took note when she mentioned in a passing conversation that "It sure would be nice to have a new pair of diamond earrings to wear for the wedding day". (Two thumbs up Brad, Good Job!)





Leah's dress was a Maggie Sottero with a sweetheart neckline, sweep train and laced up the back. After a tough decision to what pair of shoes to wear she chose white with pink polka dot high heels. They were adorable and fun to go with Leah's personality. The ladies wore fuschia tapered T-Length dresses with V-Neck and back lines with silver high heels. Leah's flowers were white Lillies and Stephanotis with green grass stems as filler. The bridesmaids carried a single long stem white lilly with the stem braided with navy ribbon. The guys all wore black tuxes with navy blue vests and ties.





Leah and Brad had decided not to see each other beforehand so we got as many pictures done as possible. The ceremony was held at St. Jude Catholic Church. It was a very pretty mass and I was glad where I was able to position myself so I could get some good facial expressions. Afterwards we finished up with pictures at the church and then followed Leah and Brad to a new housing development where they wanted some pictures along the lake in the sand. We are so glad we went, we were able to get some really amazing shots.





We then headed back to the church where the reception was held. Ron Brown with Another Dimension was the DJ and he announced them into the room. They started right into dinner which was catered by Corporate Caterers. It was good food as always. They then had the toasts started by the Maid of Honor Kate, sister to Brad, and Best Man, one of Brad's friends. They had a wedding cake and different types of brownies to serve as dessert. They then danced to Etta James' "At Last" for their first dance as husband and wife. Everyone seemed to have a good time.



Thank you guys for having us as your photographers to document on your special day. We hope you have a blast in Mexico on your honeymoon.

Stay in Touch,

Tyff and Jeff
