Teresa and JR have been married for six years this past January. As a surprise, Teresa planned a full-blown wedding ceremony and reception at a nearby hotel with family and friends coming in from near and far to celebrate. Even though he was getting suspicious as the date approached, JR was pleasantly surprised. The couple got married by a Justice of the Peace at the Tarrant County Courthouse, and having a big party and photos afterward was something he had wanted.

What a fun, beautiful and loving couple. Their children were a big part of the fun (that's one of their sons breakdancing during the reception). I enjoyed being there to record the evening for them. I love weddings, but there's something more meaningful about a couple who's already been married for awhile. It's easy to be head over heels with a new love; it's special to have that same feeling years later.
