I must admit my initial meeting with Linda and Roger was one of the hardest meetings for me last spring. I had my new puppy, Mater, for less then a week and I was spending an entire day away from home with meetings and portrait sessions. Linda and Roger graciously let me ooh and ahh and show pictures of Mater on my camera phone and then told me all about their darling doggy, Mango, and his role in the wedding complete with a doggy tux! This was meant to be! Mango even joined us for the engagement session downtown last fall.

Sunday, May 24th opened with glorious blue skies and wonderfully warm temps. Possibly the best conditions for the outdoor ceremony planned at Klein Creek Country Club. The entire wedding party, including Mango, were getting ready at the Westin in Itasca. Linda and Roger had a special moment alone, seeing each other for the first time in their full wedding regalia. Then Mango and the rest of the wedding party joined in for some pictures. We had to get creative and work around the golfers and some long drives at Klein Creek for the pre-ceremony photo session.

Linda’s family hails from Laos & Thailand and Roger’s family is from China, together they provided each of their families the first Americanized wedding with American wedding traditions. And of course, a photobooth, with printed snapshots as the wedding favors!
