A Christmas Wedding

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing Beth and Brandon's wedding in Alba, Texas, and their reception in nearby Golden.  Alba is about eighty miles east of Dallas, but the difference is night and day.  Pastures filled with cattle abound, the leaves on the trees are changing color (we're a little late here in this part of the country!), and ranch gates are decked out with Christmas wreaths. Beth was a beautiful, excited bride, marrying her best friend of many years.  Brandon seemed very cool, but I think he might have been just a little nervous.  Both of their fathers are ministers, and both participated in the ceremony.  The church and the reception hall were decorated for them by friends and family.  Actually, I believe many of the friends I met are like family to them, something obviously treasured.  Here are some of my favorite snaps.  Best wishes to Beth and Brandon!
