Wedding Wednesday: Tinnell and Marcus

Today’s Real Wedding features a bride who may look a tad familiar. If you’re like me and are a fan of the hit TLC show: SayYesToTheDress-Atlanta & SayYesToTheDress-Bridesmaids, then you will be excited with this Real Wedding choice. The episode with Tinnell became a huge fan favorite because of her obvious style and it may have something to do with the fact that she showed up with all 15 of her bridesmaids.  Yes, 15! So we knew an extraordinary wedding was ahead.

Today we have Texas couple, Tinnell and Marcus whose had  a wedding style of glitz and glam. The wedding locations were Memorial Drive United Methodist Church for the ceremony and The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts for the reception, in Houston, TX before 250 guests. The bride and groom, hired Sacred Image Photography as their photographer. My favorite elements? The seven foot high back chairs, cake pops in lieu of a grooms cake, the beautiful back drop that the Hobby Center provided with its 60-ft windows, groom having a little fun with his garter search, the mother & son dance, and I dare leave out Tinnell's killer bridal shoes.


Enjoy the view!

Marcus goes missing momentarily as he hunts for blushing bride Tinnell’s garter belt. What a cute couple!

With 15 bridesmaids and 15 groomsman, it was nearly impossible to get Tinnell and Marcus’ entire gang in the shot — but what a fun shoot it is!
