- aimee and greg’s wedding

Posted by kim on June 25th, 2009

Speaking of rain, here’s a wedding Kim Cooley did back in April with the assistance of Lynn Michelle.

Aimee and Greg were married at Perkins Chapel and had their reception in their backyard. This has been on my wish list for sometime – a backyard reception and to have a tent to top it off was perfection. Since it can be pretty hot in Texas, backyard receptions are a rarity unless the couple can afford air conditioning to be piped in.

April flowers bring showers. On the drive back to Aimee and Greg’s home, the sprinkles began and Aimee was glad we had planned ahead for the tent.  She actually made the most of their investment by using the tent then for their rehearsal dinner and a brunch the day after the wedding – brilliant, no wonder she is a busy attorney.

Another sweet detail for Aimee was her lovely shoes.  I have been reading about the trend but hadn’t had the pleasure of photographing a wedding shoe that wasn’t white yet.  Breaking traditions and adding your own flair is always great to see.

The little church up above is a little detail from Aimee and Greg’s backyard that makes the location of the reception even more special.  Below, Aimee stops by family wedding photos that hang in their home – brides then and now celebrated Aimee and Greg’s special day.

Their first dance – so sweet.

It was a wonderful day.
