Westbrook Wedding | Julie & Archie

I had to post this.



It's time!!!! That's all I can think about as I type this blog post. I've been looking forward to this wedding since the second Julie & Archie were engaged, and now that it's time (or past time) to blog it, I am THRILLED! :D

The details of this wedding were awwwesome. Julie has and has always had such great style, so I knew her day would be fannnnntastic. On most all wedding days, I start off photographing the bride getting her hair and make-up done. When I showed up at the salon, Julie already looked as cute as ever, bragging on her sisters who have been so helpful through the whole wedding planning process. She started listing their accomplished duties such as the famous last minute wedding wands, bringing wedding day Dr. Peppers, and dealing with her "Zilla" (Julie was the furthest from a bridezilla) ways. I love when the Hartsfield girls are all together. They are hilarious, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that once you witness their hilarity, you immediately wish you were a Hartsfield. So I voiced it when I was shooting them getting ready: "I need sisters if I ever get married!!" Their immediate response: "WE'LL BE YOUR SISTERS!!!" Yes! (I'm holding you to it Hartsfield sisters! If I ever get engaged, I'm calling every one of you up the day it happens. Get ready!

7 Other things that made this wedding a wonderful one:

1. The best summer color palet of pinks and grays.
2. RAIN when half of TX was suffering the most extreme level of drought measured by climatologists.
3. Quick trip to Taco Villa for some photos, a favorite place of Julie & Archie.
4. The heaviest, most beautiful bridal bouquet of sweet-smelling roses.
5. Gray suits and suspenders.
6. DANCIN' FOOLS
7. Details! Details! Details!
