To say we're obsessed with the images we're getting back from our film camera would be a mild understatement. We blogged with our (digital) favorites from Kassi and Ian's engagement session a few weeks ago, but we just got in their film scans from Richards Photo Lab and boy oh boy are we in love! We can't wait to shoot their wedding in Wyoming next summer on film + digital! Yippee!

Earlier this fall we took a trip to Indiana to visit our family up there. Luke is originally from Indiana and one of the biggest perks of our job and of being self employed is that we have the freedom to go and visit our family there anytime we get a break in our schedule. We made a pact for this trip that any pictures we took on the trip (aside from iPhone pictures, OF COURSE!) were going to be with the film camera.

We finally got around to sending our film from the trip to Richards Photo Lab in California, and just got the film scans back this week. With our film scans, we've also decided to get actual proof prints back with our scans, so... now, guess what we're going to do! Have actual PRINTS of these pictures to keep as memories.

These pictures were from a lazy Sunday afternoon out at Luke's sister and brother-in-law's farm. Luke and I had been into the "city" that morning for church and had a big lunch at Outback (my favorite croutons and ranch dressing ever) and then we headed home to change clothes and get ready for an afternoon of fun with the kiddos. We're blessed with several nieces and a nephew in our life, but these two little girls are the star of the farm and bring so much joy to our life. I am thankful for these pictures of us!

They have chickens. Luke is so jealous.

It was cold, and it was a jammie day for them. I wasn't even aware that there was a term called "jammie day" until my amazing sister-in-law Cassie taught me about it. How cute are these kiddos! This one's going on the fridge!

We're really loving our film camera. If you're a photographer and you're kinda thinking about getting into film photography but are intimidated, we say GO FOR IT. If you know how to work your digital camera and are shooting in manual and consistently getting proper exposures, then shooting a film camera isn't that different. It's so much fun.

The worst part of it all is the wait to get your scans back. But the best part is, you get them back and they are ready to go - no editing (if you shoot it right.) On our slow internet the time it takes to download the scans (about 1 hour per roll) is also lame. But again - it's worth it!

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of going to one of our favorite Texas places, Corpus Christi, to photograph Krystal and Tommy's wedding day. Corpus Christi is the perfect 'beach town' for us because it's a relatively short drive, but far enough away that it still feels like a mini-vacation. Not to mention my favorite hotel to stay at of like... all time (Omni Bayfront Corpus) is there. Sooooo anytime we get to go to Corpus it is a win-win.

Now.... it's extra special when we get to hang out with amazing people like Krystal, Tommy, and their families. We've had a wonderful time getting to know these folks. I remember it as clear as can be when we first heard from Krystal, many months ago. We were driving to Bay City to eat dinner at our favorite restaurant around here, The Fat Grass. Just as we pulled in the parking lot, the phone rang. All I could think about was how Luke answering that phone was putting more time between me and the warm bread and butter I was fixing to eat at Fat Grass. But.... I'm thankful he did, because it was Krystal, and she is special to us! :)

So without further adieu, we are excited to share Krystal and Tommy's gorgeous fall wedding (can we talk about how amazing her fall flowers were?) from the Corpus Christi venue, The Ranch at San Patricio.

What a beauty!

How adorable is this tiny little chapel that they said "I do" at?

Can you tell this couple has a sense of humor? This just happened on its own. Seriously... they are so much fun!

The reception was set with all kinds of gorgeous gold tones, fall flowers, and ivory linens. Here in Texas we don't seem to get much of a fall, so this was a breath of fresh air!

Why yes this IS a mariachi band! They serenaded the couple during cocktail hour and it was a wonderful addition to the reception!

During the father-daughter dance, Krystal's mom and brother watched on. Love this moment!

How lucky is Tommy to have a mother who makes him laugh like this! :)

Once the party got started, the dancefloor was packed all night!

At the end of the night, the amazing DJ (Johnny Hotcakes) coordinated these two lines where people would come down the middle dancing. It was glorious!

Krystal and Tommy, your wedding was so much fun and we are so thankful to have been a part of it! I only wish you guys lived closer so we could hang out all the time. We can't wait to keep track of you guys and the amazing things that are sure to be in your future!
