the one with Sadie and Aaron's BIG CATHOLIC WEDDING!
If you like watching weddings, simply click that photo to see a slideshow. If you like weddings with the words, then keep scrolling baby! I got you covered! Today I’m talking about Sadie + Aaron’s Wedding!
I’m almost sad to post this. I truly am. I’ve been photographing this family for years now. And I truly love every minute I get to spend with them. The Dierschke Family in Wall is precious to me and their community. And their youngest daughter was married during this pandemic and they still managed to bring the community together in a grand way while keeping us all safe.
Sadie has two sisters and I had the privilege of photographing their weddings as well.
I lovingly refer to Dierschke weddings as BIG FAT CATHOLIC WEDDINGS. People, it’s insane the amount of work that goes into these weddings and the community that rallies behind them to celebrate! It’s insane and fun and something to witness at some point in your life. If you get invited to a Catholic wedding near Wall, Texas.
GO!
Sadie’s sisters have had some cute kiddos since becoming wives. Of course, they were included in the wedding details and I loved seeing the wedding through their eyes!
Her sister’s were married in their home church in Wall, however, Sadie + Aaron wanted a Traditional Latin Mass, I think even High Mass if I’m not mistaken, and the church that worked with them was in Olfen. I didn’t mind one bit the extra driving because HELLO! I love visiting new churches and seeing the details. This one did not disappoint! Although it wasn’t my first visit. I photographed her sister’s bridals at this church. Part of them anyway.
The details of the lace on Sadie’s gown were stunning. Absolutely stunning! And bravo to her mom for helping her get dressed. Things were a bit stressed because of the drive and the heat and the fact that the office was locked and we couldn’t get in right away. They came through like CHAMPS though! This family knows how to roll with the pressure.
Dear Marshall. You never disappoint. Always here to brighten my day and help me make kick ass photos. Marshall is the guy on the right in this photo. The one without the hat. He’s married to Sarah and the best advice I can give you about Marshall, is be ready to say NO. He comes up with all kinds of ideas that could possibly get one in trouble. Fun, YES. But many times trouble. Marshall, you know I love you. Toni loves you as well.
Below is the videographer, Noe. He’s super fun to work with and always sets up the best shots for my camera. LOL
Like I mentioned before, it was super hot that day! It never seemed to bother Sadie. She held herself with such grace that day.
I LOVE THIS SHOT ABOVE!!!!
The light was coming from the north window in the room and there was a huge black TV on the wall. I think the room is used as an activity parish center, perhaps. At first, I was working hard to find a composition that worked without the dang TV. UGH. It was like the black hole of death in my book. But then with all the movement and activity in the room, I decided to simply embrace it and move in. By move in, I move with my feet to change the focal point. I work with prime lenses and so I move, not the lens. I hope that makes sense to anyone that’s in the photography game. I’ve learned through my many years of photographing and loving weddings, the three components of a good picture are moment, lighting, composition.
I always watch the groom when the bride is coming down the aisle. How can you not? Will he break down and cry? Or will he be so happy that only a smile can shine on his face! The latter in this case. BRAVO Aaron! I’ve been a Catholic for almost 30 years now and I’m still discovering the mysteries of our Church! This was definitely something to witness and be a part of. If you are Catholic and planning a Catholic wedding, please give me a call. We need to talk.
I’m dumping a bunch of images in the gallery below, but I have so many to share and you really only come here for the pictures, let’s be honest, so ENJOY!
love does,
Kristin
