Sometimes I go to weddings that are so fun and lively and just full of awesome people that I want to put down my camera and join the party! This would be one of those, guys! Chelsea and Derek have the best group of friends to have a wedding (y’all should start hiring them out, haha!!) and they sure know how to have a great time! Add in both Chelsea and Derek’s easy-going attitude and the day was completely stress-free and absolutely perfect for the two of them!

It all took place at the Cross Creek Ranch in Parker, TX, which has an outdoor area that was just PERFECT for this November wedding! The temperature was perfect, the light was perfect, the breeze was perfect… even the rain that we had a few days prior was perfect, as it filled up the pond area, making for some awesome shots at the end of the night. I have a slight love affair with the combination of the bridesmaid’s dusty pink dresses and the groomsmen navy tuxes… what a great color combination, especially with the pops of gold and dark red in the reception decor (oh, and Chelsea’s awesome gold, glitter shoes!)

Congrats again, Chelsea and Derek! Thank you for letting me be a part of such an awesome day!
