I don’t even know where to begin. Beyond the fact that Katelyn and Justin are unlike anyone else that I have had the pleasure of photographing, I can ramble on about that freaking light at the chapel that makes me swoon every time or the oodles of time that we spent on portraits just because we could. So from an organizational standpoint, I will tell you about the wedding day schedule.

Katelyn and Justin had their first glance at 12:30 in the afternoon on September 4th. The intense wind precluded us from doing formal portraits outside so we took advantage of this splendid light instead. Formal portraits- family and wedding party lasted about 30 minutes total before the ceremony, giving them almost an hour to relax and play around before the ceremony began.

After the short & lovely ceremony, we took two quick images of the extended family and since we were well ahead of schedule, I had a lovely 30 minutes more in the chapel with just the two of them.

Once we arrived to their reception location, Thistle Hill, there was some bustling around to set up the sound system so I took advantage of the lawn and the fact that the wind had died down. YAY!

Katelyn & Justin’s reception before 8pm. And with the sun setting at a 8:30pm, we had  some time to run around downtown Fort Worth. Because we can.
