Schneider Weddings

Archive for October, 2009

Wow! What a perfect day for a garden wedding and garden reception! Sunny, not to warm, not too cool, everything was just perfect! Everyone was tired at the end of the day – Rich & Pamela had their wedding at Great Oaks Manor – a great Bed & Breakfast for kicking back and relaxing after their wedding before heading off on their honeymoon…

I’ll be getting more images up ASAP.

What great people!  Here’s just the first of the wonderful images we got on our play-date in the Woodlands.  Look on the Gallery link (top menu, far left) for more great images of Sarah & Justin. You can also view them as a slideshow!

Recently on the Today Show they did a feature on a new really fun trend in wedding photography called “Trash the Dress” (TtD) that mentions John Michael Cooper, the Godfather of the Trash the Dress genre. Anyone who knows me knows I never soil my TV with MSNBC or my PC with it’s equivilent. However, I AM a John Michael Cooper fan. Here is one of his hotter TtD images:

One of my brides, the lovely Laura H., is actually buying a second inexpensive gown to do a TtD BEFORE the her wedding, so we can display it AT their big fat Aggie wedding coming up in April of 2010 (no worries Rand – the matches & kerosine will be left at home)! This is a fun watch:

Update – Check out my early April 2010 posts of Laura’s TTD session!

Pamela really wanted some playful images of Rich spinning her around.  We stopped before anyone got excessively dizzy.  A great, fun way to end an engagement session!

Their wedding is in less than two weeks!  It’s at a beautiful B&B in Richmond named Great Oaks Manor.  I can’t wait!!

As Rich, Pamela and I were out taking photos at random settings, we found a gorgeous park in a little neighborhood.  I’ve already had a number of people ask to have portraits done here.  I definitely need to bring walkie-talkies with me next time, since at the distance I shoot at and the sound of the water there’s no other efficient way to give directions.  I can’t pick my favorite.  See what you think…

There’s a few more photographs or Pamela and Rich which were taken at this location, but without the waterfall, which I will post in the next few days.
