Well… so much for posting all my 2011 weddings in 2011. I tried, I honestly did. And I thought I was pretty close. But then I remembered a bunch few that somehow didn’t make it. I do have an excuse for 2 weddings in that they were at the very end of 2011. And Jessica and A.J.’s  was one of them. You’ll find this post heavy in portraits because a) I love doing them and b) Jessica loves having them done. So we had all sorts of fun playing around downtown Tulsa. The day had some super memorable moments. The day of their wedding also happened to be on the day of the Parade of Lights and the Jingle Bell Run. Not to mention the other Christmas festivities going on downtown. Needless to say… downtown Tulsa was packed! But Jessica LOVES attention (and who can blame her?) and she was eating up all the honks, hoots, hollers and congrats she was getting! She and A.J. even took off running along the 5k’ers which made for an hilarious pic. (which for some reason didn’t make into the blog). The ceremony was at Trinity Episcopal and the reception at the Tulsa Convention Center. If you haven’t seen the convention center since its been revamped, you must! Its a great location for a reception!! We’re just jumping right in here, with the first look!!

Gorgeous makeup on Jessica by Faccia Bella!

Brides note the details here… colorful socks for the boys are a fun addition!! Gives them their own flair! 😉

So the highlight of my day was when we were running around the crowds downtown, a woman ran out and asked us to come into their brand new restaurant to do some pics. So its kind of a photographer thing (or maybe its just an Andrea thing) to get to photograph in a place no one else has. So yeah, bragging rights. The restaurant is Edward Delks and you MUST try it out!! I haven’t been yet, but the owners are amazing and oh so hospitable! They treated Jessica and A.J. fabulously and I’m guessing they do that for all the patrons of their restaurant.

Still Edward Delks. Awesome, right?

Florals were by the incomparable, Bridal Garden!! Love that Lindi! She’s so talented!!

We can’t forget Mr. T here. He is so darn cute!! And I love that expression. Shows that he can be a little rotten, but only in the best way of course!

Instead of the best man handing over Jessica’s ring, Jessica’s little man did. Such a sweet moment!

Another one of April’s brilliant ring shots! Love it!!Jessica decided to do a special dance with her dad, mom and son.  

Stationery created by Paper Girl! Love them too!!And what’s a wedding without an surprise choreographed dance!! The guests loved it!!

Cookies and Milk? Yes please!!This kid knows how to shake what his mama gave him!! He was quite the little dancer!

Jessica and A.J., you know I love you guys!! Your wedding was as fabulous as you are!! And of course thanks to my fabulous second shooter April. She’s of course responsible for a number of these images!!
