I remember when Kayla’s mom reached out to me to inquire about an engagement session for her daughter and future son-in-law. The engagement sessions was so relaxed it made me feel like we didn’t meet for the first time a few minutes prior to shooting. Of course, the wedding day was just as fun and easy going! Yes, I shot the wedding while I was 7 months pregnant and HUGE, but...
San Antonio Wedding at Sunset Station | Alexis + Eli
Alexis was the VERY first person to receive a quote from me via Thumbtack. I had never heard of Thumbtack before another bride asked me about it and sparked my curiosity. I signed up, but was very weary of how it worked. When I saw a request for a San Antonio bride looking for a wedding photographer I poured over all the details (I wanted to make sure we would be...
Coty + Will | Bright + Classic Engagement | Victoria, TX |
This adorable couple choose me for their elopement and I was so happy they did! It was on short notice that we never had time to do engagement photos. Around the time I had finished an educational course on a posing system that I was dying to try out they had been married several months, but I sent Coty a message and asked of her and Will would be up...
Historic Texana Church | Edna, TX | Sweet Simple Sunflower Wedding | Renee + Jimmy
As the title suggests this wedding was sweet and simple, but there was so much more to it than that!! This was a split ceremony/reception wedding and because not everyone who was going to attend the ceremony would be able to travel to the reception location (Gruene Dancehall – because they wanted their first dance on the oldest dance hall in Texas) the couple had a reception like dinner for their...
Helotes, Tx | Fun, colorful engagement | Courtney + Roland
I first met Courtney at the Victoria Bridal Expo in January and as we have gotten to know each other I learned that we had a lot of mutual acquaintances. Small world! When I sat down with her and Roland for the first time I learned more about them as a couple and individuals. The long growing romance between Courtney and Roland shows when you are around them with how natural...
Big, big, BIG news!
I have SO MANY things to tell you all! Some of this may be news to you, but if you have seen me in person lately odds are that one of these facts may not be a surprise. Without further ado, here goes all that has been going on lately; the good and the bad. 1.) Passing – Jacob’s grandmother passed away unexpectedly quite recently. He was VERY close to her;...
Cuero, TX | St. Michael’s Rustic Wedding | Cassie + Eric
It all happened on bright and sunny spring day in Cuero at St. Michael’s Catholic Church. Cassie was already surrounded by her closest friends and family tucked away so Eric wouldn’t accidentally see her before the ceremony started. Typically girls get the reputation on running late to get ready, but it was actually the guys we had to wait on for this wedding. Not enough to make anything run late, but...
Cuero, TX | Intimate Rustic Wedding | Bridget + Geoff
For me to fully explain this wedding day you have to know the bride. She is very specific and a planner! When we met and I asked her about the wedding day she never had to tell me “Oh! I am not sure” or “Hmm, I hadn’t thought of that”. She knew exactly what she wanted and had a vision on how to make it happen. I was behind her...
Mission Valley, TX | Rustic Engagements | Kayla + Denver
The Pantone Color of the year is GREEN and Kayla told me she is incorporating a lot of greenery into her wedding. So it’s fitting that our first location was FULL of gorgeous green everything! I couldn’t have asked for a better location and I’m so glad they picked somewhere that was personal to them as a couple. This couple is just too cute together and I can’t wait for...
How to Have a First Look as a Traditional Bride
Traditional brides tend to use the words elegant, classic, and timeless to describe their wedding day. Where an untraditional bride would use words like modern, trendy, and unique. When I ask my “traditional” brides if they are wanting a first look they answer me with a resounding “no”! Well, I am here to tell you that you can have your 3 tier wedding cake and eat it too! If you are...
