Some of the best weddings come out of a solid vision and working with top-notch local vendors to bring it to life. Jessica was inspired by the class and style of the Great Gatsby. We started at the Colcord Hotel in downtown OKC, where everyone was getting ready. The ceremony and reception took place on the rooftop of The Caliber, which has always been one of my favorite venues for it’s uniqueness and location. Planning and some florals were done by the amazing Emerson Events and Design. Other vendors include Nexus Entertainment & Cheevers Catering.

I realize that these images barely scratch the surface of the “steampunk” look, but I’ve always been drawn by this style and really wanted to do a steampunk-inspired shoot. I have to give props to Catie Bartlett for shooting these with me! We had so much fun with the dark and whimsical theme, in a perfect, woodsy location, on a nice day in December.

I was going through one of my all-time favorite wedding promo shoots, and decided to throw up a few more photos that I did not include in the original album. Bridal shoots are easily one of my favorite parts of the whole wedding photography experience! It’s a chance to show your fancy side and show off that expensive dress more than once. The model was my sister Kathryn, so for those of you who recognize her, don’t mistake this for her personal bridal shoot, haha. Hair and makeup by yours truly.
You can see more photos from the first post, or the album on my Facebook Fan Page.
