Michael and Nikki are Married at Last!

I met Nikki and Michael a year ago when they booked me for their wedding. I immediately loved them. This past year I have enjoyed seeing them again to do their engagements and then to do Nikki's bridals/boudoirs. I was thrilled that their day came and they were finally going to say their I Do's! Jackie and I headed out to Dallas to capture their day (by the way, check out Jackie's blog for her preview!).

The morning of their wedding I received a phone call from Nikki with some bad news. She had gotten a phone call from Michael, their cute little boxer puppy jumped up on the couch and got Michael in the eye, as in a puppy nail in the eye. Scratched corneas are no fun. :( Nikki had not planned a pirate themed wedding....but we had to work with it. So Michael showed up looking oh so cool in his black eye patch. I mean; he is 6'7", a policeman, and a handsome fella...he was able to rock the patch. Totally.

Another thing...I have to brag on Nikki. She has beautiful style, and the wedding showed it. So many lovely details, all thanks to the lovely Nikki. Great job girl!

The Guys-Doesn't Michael make the patch work?

The serious pose

I knew Nikki was a daddy's girl when we first met. She talked about him so much. On this day the love for her dad showed. She was so sweet and emotional...her daddy is obviously her hero.

The Awesome Gals. They were a blast!

Details...this was just beautiful, and her grandmother's

The I Do's....so sweet.

Michael and Nikki could not have asked for a better day!

Saying a little prayer

This kiss, folks, was so awesome. See her hold on him? So romantic, I love this image. Love it.

XOXO

Now, remember when I said that Nikki had her boudoir photos taken for Michael. Well, as soon as they walked down the isle, Nikki grabbed Michael to give him a little present. A book she made for him. I think he liked. ;-) And was pleasantly surprised. I love his smile here.

I think he said Thanks. :)

Jackie and I grabbed the lovebirds for some outside shots, I took this while they were posing for Jackie.

Father Daughter Dance

His adorable niece wanted in on the dance. She was so stinkin' adorable. Her brother is one of the boys to the left. I love the boys hanging on each other.
