Emily and I traveled to Port Neches some time ago to capture the engagement images of Lauren & Chase at which time we completely fell in love with the intimate feel of their small home town. Returning to photograph their wedding was no different at all given that Lauren’s salon, family home and childhood church were a mere blocks from one another. We knew we found the place where Chase and his groomsmen prepared for the wedding when we saw a home with a driveway and street lined with pickup trucks. It is a good thing too since Chase needed to use one of them to pull another out of an open field when a failed u-turn left it stuck in the mud and wet grass…what a fun wedding day memory!

The wedding reception was a grand southern affair complete with Lone Star beer, cowboy boots, Texas BBQ and live Zydeco music provided by a genuine Louisiana Zydeco band. Everyone had an amazing time…including us.
