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...
Spring Creek Place Event Center | Victoria, Tx | Erika + Stephen
The weather was literally trying to put a damper on the whole day. A cold front had come in and it was drizzly rain, windy, and cold. That didn’t seem to effect the couple’s moods at all. They were still happy and care-free on their wedding day. They did a great job on picking who to have close to them that day, because the wedding party just added to the...
Yoakum, Tx |Backyard Thanksgiving Wedding | Alecia + Brian
I was originally supposed to photograph this family in the middle of November until Alecia said that Brian had proposed and they were going to have the ceremony at their house the day before Thanksgiving! Ahh! I was so happy and excited for them! So we bumped up the family photos sooner so they weren’t as close to the wedding. Easy peasy…the hard part was waiting for the actual day. It...
D & E Party Barn Ranch | Victoria, TX | Hilary + Edgar
The day started at the salon where Hilary was surrounded by her closest loved ones to get pampered for the day. Hilary bought her wedding party custom bracelets from KEEP Collective and even wore one herself. It was so cute and unique and it was such a great idea! I love these getting dressed shots because if you look close enough you can see a phone flashlight being used to help light...
Victoria Courthouse Elopement | Victoria, TX | Coty + Will
I met this adorable couple at my very first Bridal Showcase. Coty came up to the table with Will in tow (as any dutiful fiance would) and looked over the photos I had on display. She told me they hadn’t picked the date yet, but they were planning in the next two weeks to make it official and would keep me in mind. She asked me questions that none of the other...
Victoria, Tx Elopement – Katie + Jeff
So these two stunning individuals did elope, but in New York…and several years ago. They were kind enough to volunteer for a collaborative session I was putting together. Katie is wearing her exact outfit from that day! Her hair was done by Sammie from Beehive Salon and her makeup was done by Miranda of Makeup by Miranda E. Blakeman. They finished with some super sugar cookie from Sweet As Can Be...
Shiner Central Station Wedding | Shiner, TX | Katie + Brandon
This July wedding was as warm as any other typical summer day in South Texas. The sun was shining and there were small puffs of clouds in the gorgeous blue sky. Katie started getting ready with her loved ones in a room at The Old Kasper House Victorian Inn. Brandon and his brothers were in the same house, but one room away. There was a person on guard at all times so...
Educational Gardens Wedding | Victoria, Tx | Trish + John
It was a bright summer day. That seemed to be a long time coming. Trish and John had been waiting for this day since what seemed like forever. The ceremony started at Holy Family Catholic Church. Nothing else mattered today other than them saying their vows. Trish was her usual happy, hilarious self. She thought she was being silly striking a pose like she was in the music video for Vogue,...
Austin, Tx Wedding : Shannan + Wallace
I have known Shannan since our 6th grade Social Studies class. We bonded over art and anime. We didn’t have any classes together in high school so we made new friend circles, but she stayed one of my longest and greatest friends so it only seemed right for me to ask her to be one of my bridesmaids in 2010. She accepted and saw fit at returning the gesture by...
Victoria, Tx Wedding : Rhiannon + Michael
To say I enjoyed this wedding would be an understatement. I have known the bride since Jr High and the groom since Highschool. It was such an honor to see these two come together as husband and wife. It was SUCH a beautiful wedding and I loved all the DIY details! My favorite thing is to see the look on the groom’s face when he sees his future wife for...
