JUST MARRIED : SHAILEY & JOHN, PART II || WARRENTON WEDDING

Finally...here is the second part of Shailey and John's beautiful Hill Country wedding. You can see the first part here! I had to break it up into more than one post because there were just too many beautiful details to share. For the reception portion drove we about 30 minutes from the ceremony location to Warrenton, TX. They put a lot of hard work into transforming this old dance hall into a dreamy reception that was totally jaw dropping and visually stunning. I was in photographer heaven. Because of all of the lights they put up, there was enough ambient lighting to allow for a lot of images, especially of the details and candids, to be taken without much flash and really capturing that lovely ambient lighting and fun atmosphere. Like I always say...the more light the merrier. 

With receptions, I like to join in on the fun. I love those crazy dance moments, the laughter, the tears, kids being cute, grandma joining in on the fun, etc. Don't mind me if you see me dancing with the guests, camera in hand. It's all part of my style of photography and service. When guests see that I'm having a good time, they usually shine in front of my lens. 

I just adore Shailey and John SO. MUCH. I loved how grateful they were, how loving their family and how hilarious their friends were. I loved the delicious food, the opportunity to travel and experience. Most of all, I loved getting to learn their story and document their beautiful day as it unfolded.  

Enjoy!
