The first time I met Brooke was in the winter of 2009. She was the bridesmaid in a (favorite) wedding we photographed. Shortly thereafter, she was a bridesmaid again in another fabulous wedding! Brooke made an awesome bridesmaid. I would run into her a party now and then, and I think we kept up with each other via twitter. She’d even occasionally run across a picture she thought I’d love an email it over. I knew at some point she would be getting married, and really really really hoped she would choose me to be a photographer. Well a few months back we got an email with the subject line, “Major Development” and sure enough, T.J. and Brooke were engaged. I was thrilled that she wanted to book me! She has impeccable style so I knew the wedding would be fabulous!! I have LOVED getting to know her as a bride!
I soon discovered that Brooke had been a bridesmaid just a few more times than the 2 weddings I had photographed her in. In fact, I’m pretty sure she was in all 10 of her own bridesmaids weddings. (sounds a little 27 Dresses, huh?!) Brooke and T.J. pulled off the most beautiful wedding! It was classic and stunning and definitely had a “Jackie O” feeling to it. Its one of those weddings that will still be stunning in 30 years!
Well I’ve rambled WAY too long. But when a girl needs to gush, she just needs to gush. MmmK? Oh and I really love T.J. too, but Brooke is just so stinkin’ cute that I may have gone a little heavy on pictures of her. Well, her and the flowergirl. But wait till you see that kid… you’ll see.

I love it when boys wear classic tuxedos! So sharp!!

Are her parents not adorable? Love that mama of hers!!!

Aren’t the colors great??

Um… hello!! Is this child not a total cherub?? Such a cutie!! BTW, this wedding was at the end of April and thus should have been warm. But as you know, this Spring Oklahoma weather lost its mind. So it was actually a little cool that day!

On the way to the ceremony… There’s just something about this picture that I love!

Hello cute kids!

I’m telling you, she was a show stealer!

(this is their reactions to the flowergirl going a bit rogue on her direction towards the aisle)

Oh I LOVE it when a groom has an awesome reaction to seeing his bride! T.J. did NOT disappoint!!

April’s shot. Love it!

As soon as the party music started the guests went nuts on the dance floor! Usually it takes people a bit to get warmed up. Not this crowd!! It was sooo much fun!!

I’m telling you it was sheer madness on the dance floor the whole time!

Me and all my brides!! Love you girls!!

Brooke and T.J. your wedding was truly one for the books! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you two!
