The ceremony is over, the cake has been cut, the music is pumpin’and people are on the dance floor. It’s time to have some fun. The Photomaids photobooth is a great addition to your traditional wedding images. It’s a time for your family and friends to cut loose and be silly. We provide the backdrop and assorted items to include in the photos. Who knew that a pair of coconut shells and a small chalkboard could be so much fun?
We adore the ladies over at Wild Poppy Florist. Their eye for detail and color is amazing. Photomaids has worked with Wild Poppy in several weddings last year and they have always amazed us with their stunning floral arrangements and bouquets.

Jaws dropped as soon as this bride walked out onto the Texas Capitol grounds. You should have seen the crowds of people part like the Red Sea making way for her to walk down to where Sandy and I were set up for our first set of shots. The bride, Leslie, had shown us photos of the dress months before, but is wasn’t until we saw it in person, that our jaws dropped. Wow! She looked spectacular! The dress was a huge secret; Leslie wanted to keep the details of her dress on the DL (down-low). We felt very honored to be a part of the chosen few that got a little sneak peek of it. Well….. I guess everyone at the Capitol that day got a glance, but they weren’t going to tell!
Note from Leslie the bride: “My dress was very princessy and sparkly. When I tried my dress on, I knew it was the one because I didn’t want to take it off. The veil was trimmed in rhinestones to add to the sparkle. Nothing special about tiara other than I really liked it. To note, Cami, my maid of honor’s daughter, picked out my earrings which helped me to pick out tiara.”
Dress – Maggie Sottero designer purchased at Belle Saison

Calling all brides to be! Have you checked out The Inspired Bride? Tons of photos, articles, and resources for today’s bride. One article in particular that caught our eye was this one – Thinking Outside the Wedding Dress. As a bride, you think of everything, every little detail of the wedding day, but what many brides don’t think about is being comfortable as you leave the wedding. Now granted this might not be the choice of every girl out there, but I think for some, it would be a perfect choice. Go take a look at the gorgeous after the wedding dresses they have posted!

Looking back at these photos, we can’t help but laugh. We had discussed doing this really neat scene in the elevator getting shots of the newly engaged couple kissing as the elevator doors closed, making you wonder just what kind of hanky panky is happening behind closed doors. Great concept right?? LOL! It wasn’t near as romantic as it sounds. Photomaids photographer Rae, was hunched down on the side of the elevator trying to hide while Sandy shot the photos from the outside hallyway. Each time the doors would close, Rae would hit the “open doors” button. The doors would open, click, click click, doors would close, Rae hits the button, repeat. Can you imagine the poor soul down on the first floor who can’t understand why the elevator isn’t coming down? After a few takes, Rae poked her head out “Are we done yet?”
As the elevator shots came to a close, this is one of the last shots we got. The looks on their faces are priceless!
Here are a few more outtakes and antics from our engagement session with the lovely Perreda and Rodney. Good times….. good times!
Beware of the chicken! You know when Sandy pulls out the chicken, it’s gonna be a good time!
