Wedding

Bailie and Clint ~ I Do: Castroville, TX

in

Bailie and Clint were married at The Grande Hall at the Hofmann Ranch in Castroville, TX. Loved this beautiful venue and the owners Hans and Charlotte Hofmann. If you are a bride in the San Antonio area, definitely check it out as you will not be disappointed. 

Bailie and Clint were wonderful to work with and I enjoyed capturing such sweet emotions between the couple. Their first sight was one of my favorites I've done as Bailie literally took Clint's breath away. Beautiful all around! Here are my favorites.

Also a huge thank you to Melissa from Botanika who did a beautiful job on the flowers and for helping the wedding run smoothly!

 

Amy and Blaine ~ I Do: The Colony, TX

in

Amy and Blaine were such a treat to work with! Their beautiful wedding was at The Tribute Golf Club in The Colony, TX. Such a great venue and probably the shortest commute to a wedding:) My husband had played golf there a few months back and prepared me for the amazingness I would see. Here are my favs from their special day!!

 

 

Kaitlin and Drew ~ I Do: Seminole, TX

in

Wow! What a special day! I was so thankful to be at this wedding! I met Kaitlin and her mom, Denise, when I lived in Lubbock and there are just some people that you have an instant connection with. I had this 100% with them and have loved working with them through each session!:)

Kaitlin and Drew are an amazing couple! SO sincere, SO thoughtful, SO in love! I never expect my clients to acknowledge me on their wedding day as I am working and I like to be as close to as invisible as possible. Kaitlin kept asking me how I was doing...if I needed water and so on. Drew made a point to come to me at the end of the night to thank me. Again, not expected but so wonderful and a testament to the kind of people they are! 

My favorite moment of the night was the mother/daughter dance! It is evident the closeness they share and I was literally in tears with them. Thank you for allowing me to capture your day and congratulations Kaitlin and Drew!:) 

Courtney and Riley ~ I Do: Fairview, Texas

Courtney and Riley are adorable and I could not be happier to capture this wonderful day! It was pure joy and I had so many favorites;) They got married at McDermott Church of Christ followed by a reception at Heritage Ranch Golf Club. As you will see, there was a lot of dancing going on and I was loving it! Enjoy!:)

Beautiful couple!!

 

Bene and Kevin ~ I Do: San Antonio, TX

in

Bene and Kevin hold a special place in my heart! I remember leaving from their engagement session and thinking..I can't wait for their wedding! I just love the way they love each other..so thoughtful and sweet with one another. 

Their special day began at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church followed by a reception at the Southwest School of Art. Both of these venues are amazing and anyone getting married in the San Antonio area should check them out. The reception included a live band, lots of dancing, yummy food, popsicles, and bottled Dr.Pepper...the really good sugary kind:) 

Congratulations Bene and Kevin and hope you enjoy my favorites!

 

Amy and Brian ~ I Do: Abilene, TX

Amy and Brian were married at Hillcrest Church of Christ followed by a reception at the T&P center in Abilene, TX. I loved many elements of their day including colors, flowers, and the little details. Amy and Brian were so fun to work with. Brian has such a dry wit and I love how he can make Amy laugh so easily!:)

Congratulations you two and thank you for letting me capture your special day! 

The couple chose to do a first sight before the ceremony and I always love how they turn out and the extra time for portraits:)

Stephanie and Tyler ~ I Do: Houston, TX

in

What a wonderful wedding to start my summer off! I'm so in love with this couple and feel truly blessed to have captured their amazing day. They were married at the gorgeous Lanier Stone Chapel. This venue blew me away and gave us beautiful backgrounds for pictures.

There were countless special moments and it was evident from stories told by family and friends, these two were meant for each other. I had so many favorite moments and had to make myself narrow it down:) Did I mention that they are the closest thing I know to Ken and Barbie..Tyler being Mailbu Ken of course;)

Thanks to Stephanie and Tyler for being so wonderful! I know great things are in your future as a couple and again congratulations!

 

 

 

 

 

Geraldine and Riley ~ I Do: Abilene, TX

Geraldine and Riley were married at Chapel on the Hill at Abilene Christian University followed by a reception at The Grace Museum. I always enjoy the process of each session leading up to a couple's wedding and then finally getting to capture their I do's. 

The couple chose a first sight which was oh so sweet and then I was able to get a great amount of bride and groom photos which I love! Geraldine was amazing and let me take some photos of her sitting in her dress. Thank you!!:) 

Also, a huge thank you to my second shooter, Paige, and my amazing assistant, Christen!! I was 8 months pregnant at this wedding and could not have done it without these two ladies! 

I hope you enjoy my favorites from such a beautiful day!

Congratulations you two and have a wonderful first Christmas together:)

Ryan and Sylvia ~ I Do: Boerne, TX

This was such a lovely day! This wedding was just another reminder of how truly blessed I am to get to have this job! Ryan and Sylvia are those kind of clients who don't wait for the camera. They are so comfortable and full of love and I got to be there to document it all:) They were married at Don Strange Ranch in Boerne, TX right outside of San Antonio. This was a new venue for me and I loved it! Hope you enjoy the photos:)

Inspiration ~ Fall Wedding: Dallas, TX

I've been so excited to post these pictures! My wonderful and creative friend, Amie Turnage, and I got together and discussed a fall inspiration wedding shoot. Once we chose colors and the overall look we were hoping to achieve, we got to work:) As for the details and set up, this is the work of Amie and I'm so excited to show off her creative abilities. If you are a future bride and would like a wedding consultant for ideas and set up, please contact Amie. Check out her blog here where you can find her new creations as well as her day-to-day life with her newborn son:)

A big thank you to Amie's sister, Stephanie, who assisted in the set up process in a short amount of time and my two beautiful models, Kristen and Ryan! I had the pleasure of shooting their wedding the previous year and just had to ask them back for more!:) Hope you enjoy and get inspired!

Time to dance... I loved the father-daughter dance!!
