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...
Thomaston, TX – Cassie’s Bridals
This past weekend Cassie became a wife. She was just as gorg as she was for her bridal session a few weeks earlier. I have been dying to share may favorites from this session and am so glad I didn’t burst before then. Cassie, you are beautiful inside and out. Eric, you are one lucky man and I know you won’t take her for granted. Cassie’s flower girl got a...
Top Reasons I Should NOT Be Your Photographer
WARNING: This may rub you the wrong way. There are so many photographers in this digital age that it can be daunting and feel like a very saturated market. But the fact of the matter is that no 2 photographers are the same. The way they act, talk, and photograph are vastly different and sets them all apart. In a world where everyone is saying “Pick me! Pick me!” I...
Rustic Engagements | Thomaston, TX | Cassie + Eric
Cassie and Eric’s love story reminds me of the saying I have heard and know all too well. What will be will be. I sometimes here this in a negative setting, but not for these two. They did meet. They did not fall in love right away. They went on with their separate lives. BUT….They did come back into each other’s lives and, even though Cassie was a little hesitant at...
