Laura and Giles are why I love photographing weddings. Their story is amazing! Laura's family is from South Africa and they moved to Jefferson, TX many years ago while Giles is from Scotland where he grew up and has lived most of his life. But they met while they were both living in California and pursuing their dreams.
They both decided to have a real Texas wedding on Laura's parent's ranch called "Graceland". It was complete with bales of hay, Texas band, Shiner Bock, oak trees, and boots. But Laura and Giles' exquisite style, influenced by their California lifestyle and international upbringing, really upped the ante for those prone to show their Texan roots on the big day.
One of the coolest things about the wedding day was when everyone at the ceremony sang "Love Me Do" by the Beatles. It was funny and sweet at the same time. Where the style really came through is with the suits that Giles' friends were wearing. The hats, ties, shoes, and colors were all so awesome. Everything about the day exuded effortless style with a Texas theme. I'll never forget it.
I am posting way too many pictures, but it's a wonderful story and it's worth hanging around to see.
