The first time I met Jennifer, we were at an after work happy hour in downtown Fort Worth. We were both working for the same staffing agency (along with Chelseabug). Towards the latter (more fun) part of the evening, I insisted that we be some karaoke guy’s “Fly Girls” (backup dancers, for those who didn’t love the show “In Living Color”). So we got onstage… and we danced. Why not? Well, homey didn’t know the words to “Baby Got Back” so (embarrassingly enough) so I found myself hijacking the mic a few times (since I got mad flowin’ skills… yo). It was the epitome of ridiculous. But that’s what happens the few times Jen & I are able to hang out…ridiculousness.
Fast forward, we stay in touch through the years. Jennifer’s the kind of girl you can go 2 years without seeing, and then hang out and talk like you never missed a day! I’d heard about Bobby (BJ) when she started dating him, and how cool he was, and all these things she liked about him. Months later, they’re still dating; she’s still all googly-eyed whenever she talks about him. Then, after she had spent some time away on a trip, she came home and there he was with her puppy… and a very important question!! Totally romantic! Naturally I was honored when she asked me to be their wedding photographer! Here’s a few shots from their special day.
PS -BJ, after seeing the two of you together, I understand why Jennifer was so head over heels in love with you! It was amazing looking through all of your film & seeing how madly in love the two of you are. Thank you to you and your gorgeous wife for allowing me to be a part of your special day. Let’s meet soon for a Day After Session! xoxo

OHHHHH, and I have to tell you all about their first dance. They danced to Journey’s “Faithfully.” You know – Oh girl, you staaaand by me. I’m foreeeeveeeer yooooours. Faithfully. (I sing amazingly, btw.) (hah)
Well towards the end the end of the song, when the song busts into the “Ohhhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh!” part (again, great singing…), the entire wedding party was singing along! It was awesome. And I captured it:
And how amazing are these two…
