Mason Rogers
Ring Bearer
No little pillow & fake rings for this guy. Mason, Krystle's son, will carry the actual rings in his pocket & present them at just the right moment. He's the right guy for the job!
Abbigail Chesser
Flower Girl
Abbigail, Tim & Krystle's daughter, is very excited to wear her beautiful dress as the flower girl! You'll notice that the flower girl's role is a bit different for this wedding. We're saving the best for last!
Mike Cottongim
Sound Man
Mike is a great friend & an all-round good guy. Tim & Sam met Mike about 2 years ago when a friend asked him to join us for a Game Night at our home. He lived in Tulsa for many years before moving to Louisiana where he was a school principal. He moved back to Tulsa a couple of years ago & is now an art teacher at Bixby Public Schools.
Photography by Chelsea Taylor
Photographer
Chelsea really enjoys photography -- so she limits her projects so she can focus on each one and still enjoy it. That really impressed us. We had a lot of fun on the day of our engagement pictures that are featured here on our website. She'll be the one with the camera. You should smile when you see her coming.
