Evelyn and Bryan, Departure

And with this, we bring another Hoelscher wedding to an end. 

Thank you Evelyn and Bryan for allowing us to take a peek inside the story of your lives.

Thanks again to Natalie for entrusting the preservation of your daughters' legacies to us curious onlooking documentarians.

All the best to the wedded couple - may TCU and UT never again have to wish failure upon the other for the final spot in the BCS championship game.

We will see y'all at the next one.

Evelyn and Bryan, Don't Stop Believin'

And then...the friends!  If you remember from Evelyn's sister's wedding (Ellen and Clay) last summer, this family knows how to party, and they surround themselves with people who share the same joie de vivre!

Signed, Sealed, Delivered brought their A-game to get the crowd movin', and our all-star couple joined them on stage for some kareoke fun.

When it's time again for a new lead singer for Journey, Bryan has to be at the top of the list!

Evelyn and Bryan, the In-Between

Every life is a story, and story is told thru relationships.  With weddings, all these personalties are gathered in one place for the only time in history, and going throughout a wedding day is like reading the couple's story person by person, chapter by chapter. 

If Mr. Hoelscher (two posts below) represents how things began, and Miss Katie (post directly below) signifies what is to come, then Monsignor McGowan, who baptized Evelyn as well as both of her sisters, represents the sacrament of everything in between.  It was only fitting that he conduct the sacrament of marriage, and his Irish brogue only adds to his authority of overseeing that which is holy.

Evelyn and Bryan, Generations

There are many moments that make each wedding unique, but there is always that one moment that really sets it apart from every other event.

Miss Katie lives alone, and if you didn't know she was 100 years of age, you would never guess it.  Evelyn once lived in the upstairs apartment at Miss Katie's house, and since Miss Katie couldn't make it to the wedding, Evelyn stopped on the way to the church to present herself to Miss Katie, showing her how she looked in her wedding dress.

It was one of the sweetest moments that two people could share...and I trust that you will enjoy sharing in it as well.

Evelyn and Bryan, Beginnings

You might've seen Evelyn and Bryan's intro a few months back, and having to put away their film for the Holiday season, I've been itching to dive back into it.

Now it's finished, and here's the first of 5 peeks into their fantastic occasion.

We're quite fond of FOB Mr. Hoelscher who was so bold to have his haircut onsite shortly before the wedding.  As Kourtney noted when we were watching the final edit, "he's the father-of-the-bride that every girl wants."

And he gets to do it one more time.  We're looking forward to it!

Lacie and Blake, Intro

"With Texas weather, you never know what you're gonna get."  I think everybody views their own climate that way, that it's mercurial at best, and never cooperative when one needs it most to be.  So when Lacie informed me that she was getting married outside in February, even with the mild temps leading up to the day, I was just a little bit concerned :->.  

But the result couldn't have been any better - and I imagine, it couldn't have been any different.  Lacie and Blake and all their family and friends were so upbeat and full of positive energy that it pushed all rain far far away.  65 degrees and partly cloudy made for the perfect setting.

2 days later, it snowed. :->
