Jess & Sam: Lexington Backyard Wedding

Jess and Sam have first met when they landed jobs at Simpson Optical...and it was nothing but laughter, goofing off and true love.  I must say I thoroughly enjoyed finding out who Sam really is...a guy who practices his 'blue steel' pose and perfects the gorilla walk (when he thinks no one is watching).  With Jess, I quickly learned there is 'Rhineheimer time'...meaning everything happens on her timing...even if their ceremony started 30 minutes.  Ok, so I wasn't watching the clock, but I know we were behind on pictures - but with a ceremony taking place in your backyard, who cares if you run late!  There must never be a dull moment with this couple! 

The couple chose Waveland as their formal session location.  With the flexibility of having the ceremony at your home, any location for formals is game!  As you can tell we enjoyed the cool shade of the porch (a cold glass of lemonade or sweet tea was the only thing missing).  I guess I forgot to mention their wedding day was sunny and a high of 95!  Boy, we were all sweating!  Not to mention the guys had their FBR (aka: fat boy rags) on hand for a sweat swipe between shots.  And that would also be the reason we don't have many pics of the guys with their jackets.  ;) 

Their backyard, which is extra spacious due to city-right-of-way, was decked with Chinese paper lanterns, a dance floor illuminated with various sizes of white lights, and tables sprinkled with flower-filled mason and vintage type jars.  And the food?  All the fixings for a BBQ right down to the sweet tea and lemonade!  It sure was a party with all the little kids running around and the make-shift dance floor!

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.  Also, don't forget to check out the various slide shows to see more of the evening.  Enjoy!  To see the entire collection of pictures, go here - but you'll need to get the password from the bride and groom.
