On one of the hottest days in July, John & Allyson said “I do” in front of God and family at Allyson’s family church in Houston. The wedding date was extra special for Allyson because it’s also her Grandfather’s birthday, which they also celebrated at the reception.

The wedding was filled with soft pinks and white hues including a gorgeous bridal bouquet to drool over. Allyson’s bridesmaids were resplendent in light blue dresses that fluttered in the whispering breeze. John wore his dress blues for the ceremony and was accompanied by his father, the best man. In fact, Family was a major theme for the evening. Family helped pull the wedding together and they were part of the wedding party.

I love a first look and Allyson blessed me with not one but two first looks and a first touch. She had a first look with her father at their family home then a first look with her bridesmaids at the church as she was exiting her limo. A little before the wedding was to start, John & Allyson shared an intimate moment where they held hands and talked for a few minutes before the wedding.

After the ceremony, we headed to the Club at Falcon Point golf course in Katy, TX. The staff cleared the course for a few moments giving us some time to take a few more photos on the property. John and Allyson commandeered a golf cart and enjoyed a few moments alone as they drove to the portrait location.

Guests danced the night away and enjoyed a stunning sunset. At the end of the night, John & Allyson’s guests sent them off with a sparkler exit and Allyson’s grandfather helped chauffeur their getaway vehicle.
