Andre and Edmarie tied the knot this past Saturday in Georgetown, TX! I was thrilled when they asked Dylan and me to be their Gabriel Springs Wedding Photographers! We knew it was going to be a fun day, 6 years in the making!
Andre and Edmarie decided to do a first look! We absolutely ADORE when couples opt for first looks! It allows our couples to share their true reactions and emotions to seeing their future spouse for the first time on their wedding day. By the look on his face, I’d say Andre was having a hard time trying to catch his breathe at the mere sight of his drop-dead-GORGEOUS (soon-to-be) WIFE! 
After checking each other out (Andre was excited to finally see Edmarie’s BOHO lace up barefoot sandals), we moved into romantic portraits. Another great bonus of having a first look is being able to take more romantic portraits on your wedding day!
This next shot is one of my faves! 
Since they did a first look, we were also able to take bridal party photos before the ceremony (which means everyone can get to the party that much faster)!
I LOVE floral crowns! 
Edmarie’s cousins serenaded the newlyweds just before they were toasted by friends and family!
After their first dance and dances shared with their parents, guests did not hesitate on getting the party started!! 
The newlyweds exited the party through a breeze of bubbles!
Congratulations, Andre and Edmarie! I hope y’all are having a TON of fun in Mexico! Thank you for inviting us into your special day!

[…] I can’t tell you how many times I was told by others to make sure to keep our wedding about us. But honestly, it’s impossible! Your family and friends want to be included in your big day as much as possible, and while that is so special, it makes it hard to focus on each other. There was one part of our wedding day, however, that was truly just about us; It was our first look. Free from the excited distraction of our smiling, crying, waving loved ones, we were really able to take each other in, seeing each other in a way we probably would not have otherwise. It was so peaceful and so personal to spend that quiet time together in the middle of the whirlwind that was out wedding day. Mylah and Dylan did such a great job paparazzi-ing while still making us feel like we were alone together. Our first look produced some of my favorite photos of the whole day, too!” – Edmarie (Gabriel Springs Wedding) […]
