Laci & Sean's Wedding, part 2
I’m back from visiting my brother Sean in California. We had such a great time! It was the first-ever Sangree father/sons trip for us.
Dad met me in Dallas and we flew together out to the Fresno/Yosemite airport. I think we had more fun on that flight than anyone else on the airplane. Neither of us is into crossword puzzles, so when we ran out of in-flight magazine Sudoku puzzles, we were both laughing as we turned to the crossword puzzle and started filling it in. I actually got a few right, but we quickly lost interest and just decided to try to fill it all in, which turned out to be much more fun after all. =)
Somehow, after staying up all night packing and tying up loose ends, I forgot to pack the trusty Canon SD800IS point-and-shoot camera. What a bummer! We were in some of the most beautiful country in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks and with only my cell phone camera! Actually, Sean brought his waterproof point-and-shoot so we did get some shots better than my camera phone. Now, if he will just email some to me, I’ll post them!
And now for some photos! Here are some favorites from Laci and Sean’s wedding at Walnut Creek Chapel.
The dressing room had some great light for this closeup while she was getting ready.
The bride looking stunning and taking advantage of the great light outside.
The groom and his men, of course. =)
Just as the ceremony started, the sun started shining through the big windows at the back of the church, making for some great, dramatic lighting! I love this one of the flower girls.
And then heaven opened and Laci entered! =) At least that’s what Sean must have been thinking when he saw this…
Fast forward 20 minutes and it’s party time! Actually, I stole them for a few minutes to get some great photos outside while the sun was setting.
The bride’s dance with her father. I just love capturing these moments of expressed emotion!
The groom’s dance with his mother.
Then Pistol Pete showed up and cut a rug! That cowboy can dance!
This moment cracked me up. No sooner did he catch the garter, but he ran into the crowd and gave his girlfriend a big old kiss! =) Style points for wearing it on his head, of course.
While the happy couple roams the reception hall greeting guests, It’s fun to capture detail shots like these. The dress was beautiful!
Sean & Laci were dancing and I just happened to capture this moment when another guest’s camera flash went off, providing some cool lighting from behind them.
Congrats, Sean & Laci! It was a pleasure and an honor to capture the details, moments and emotion from your big day in photos!
Now it’s off to bed! 2:40AM and we have a big day tomorrow… Driving up to Tulsa to photography a newborn baby for our good friends David and Alyson Frederick. Congrats guys! Can’t wait to meet Alayna!

boy, am I excited!!!!!I have a friend in California who is a wedding/engagement photographer- he is incredibly talented and I’ve never seen a bad picture.I added a girl on facebook because I could have SWORN she had his work as her main Photo. It turns out- she’s a past client of YOURS. :-) I live in OK/ Dallas… He lives in the Bay Area in CA. So I have not Been looking forward to flying him all over the place someday to take my engagement and wedding pictures- refusing to settle for lesser quality after seeing his photos, because they made others sub-par.So you just stay in business until I get married someday! I’m thrilled!!! Oh-and he also has a brother named Sean….:-)
Hey, Julie… No worries! We’re not going anywhere!
Hey, who is your Bay area photog friend?
his name is Sylvain GentileCheck outWww.sylvaingentile.net:-)I’m at childers_streetrod@yahooIt better be quite some time because uh, I don’t even have a candidate yet so hang in there!
if that’s not the link, then it’s .com… I don’t visit it often and 90% of the time, I access the internet from my iPhone so to wait for a blog page full of high res photos to upload requires some patience
