East Texas Engagement | Jefferson, Texas | Josh + Kayce

 

I met Kayce for the first time while she was a bridesmaid at a wedding I worked for her friend back in October 2018! When she contacted me a few months later inquiring about my weddings, it didn’t click with me immediately who she was. We talked back and forth in our emails and we decided to meet up in person and discuss what they were wanting and just getting to know each other in general! So we set a date to meet up at Starbucks on February 9th (My birthday! It was meant to be! haha) and as soon as I walked in, I knew I recognized her but STILL couldn’t put my finger on it. Then she revealed who she was and how I knew her and it clicked! Mind you, the wedding party she was in was a party of 21 people! haha! I remember faces, but names were far gone for me! LOL

I was beyond ecstatic and happy to be working with her and her fiancee’, Josh. They are so in love and you can just see it in their whole engagement session. I loved seeing Josh get so involved in their session and really seeing him interact and bring out the brightest and sweetest smiles in her. These two are soul mates and there’s no doubt about it!

I can’t wait to shoot their wedding!! It’s going to be MAGICAL.

 

DFW Engagement | Downtown Dallas | Dallas, Texas | Kevin + Victoria

 

Let me just say, from the moment I met Victoria & Kevin, I knew we would be friends! They have the best sense of humor, they are so great to talk with, and I really enjoyed not only getting to meet them, but doing their engagements.


Victoria and I had discussed what style she wanted to go with for their engagements and she said she wanted something vintage but modern and classy. I immediately thought of Prince Harry & Meghan Markle’s engagement photos—you can see some of their beautiful portraits taken by the infamous Alexi Lubomirski here in a published story from Vanity Fair.

The outfit The Duchess of Sussex wore was STUNNING and Prince Harry’s was a simple but sophisticated suit. I mentioned this to Victoria during our call and she instantly jumped on board and said it was perfect! Days later she’s sending me a dress that looks so similar to The Duchess'! I was impressed and so excited!!

We had so much fun walking around downtown Dallas finding some of the most unique and cool spots to shoot at. These two were not shy in the least with any of my prompts and they even had fun with their own ways of making each other laugh. Victoria just glowed the entire time and Kevin looked so proud to have her on his arm. I am beyond excited for their upcoming wedding next year! It’s going to be STUNNING!

 

Gruene Historic Town Engagement | New Braunfels, Texas | Taylor + Samantha

 

When Samantha first reached out to me about her wedding, we clicked immediately! She has the sweetest and most personable personality!! We talked for quite a while on the phone during her consultation, laughing and discussing ideas like old friends. Then we met in person at a local Starbucks in San Antonio and it just solidified our relationship! I could NOT WAIT for their engagements!! She had discussed doing a vintage styled look for their outfits and she showed up and DID NOT disappoint!! How adorable are they?? And their sweet fur baby just topped the cake for me! The small town of Gruene was the perfect backdrop for their session. It provided a variety of unique and fun setting for each of their looks. I couldn’t have asked for a better location to shoot in!

Prior to this session, I had learned that Taylor’s sweet mother had unexpectedly passed away. From what I had learned, she was so excited for their upcoming nuptials. I prayed and prayed that this session would be fun, help Taylor relax, enjoy the session, and most importantly, I wanted to take portraits that would have made his late mother proud. Although I never got the opportunity to meet her, I’m sure she will be with them through out this new journey and I hope she’s smiling and loving the love shown in these images between these two. Much love and condolences go to Taylor, Samantha, and his family. Thinking of you guys always! <3

 

Wedding | Horseshoe Bay Resort | Marble Falls, Texas | Thomas + Heather

 

Thomas & Heather’s wedding at Horseshoe Bay Resort in Marble Falls, Texas was everything you could imagine and then some. These two met at Texas A&M university, all their family & friends have gone there, this wedding was FULL of aggie alumni! So of-course, there were nods to A&M throughout the decor and even an Aggie dance at the end—which by the way was AWESOME!!!

And OMGGGG there was a cockatoo for everyone to meet! She was sassy, beautiful, and wasn’t afraid to show it! I was later notified by the wedding coordinator that her handler had actually suffered from food poisoning right before it was show time. He was such a trooper and pushed through anyways, I had no idea he was sick until after the wedding. I was so impressed and I know Heather & Thomas were extremely grateful!


I loved every bit of this wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better bride to work with. Heather was amazing and her laugh was just so contagious! She looked so very beautiful and was just absolutely glowing with love. Thomas looked handsome in his suit and beamed with pride at his new wife often throughout the day and night.

Congratulations to you guys!! May your marriage always be full of laughter and love.

Mr. & Mrs. Uselton 3.16.2019

Wedding | Wylde Acres | Longview, Texas | Kogan + Krista

9.29.2018: What can I say about this wedding that you can’t see for yourself in these images? The bride looked absolutely show-stopping STUNNING. From her hair, to her makeup, to her beautiful gown, everything was to die for!! The groomsmen and groom kept me in stitches the whole time with their witty remarks and jokes. I very much enjoyed shooting such a perfect wedding & group of people!

I was blessed to be able to help document the day while second shooting with Farrah Nichole Photography, these are some of my favorites I captured from Kogan & Krista’s special day!

Wedding at the Reserve | Longview, Texas | Nathan + Whitney

“Rain on your wedding day is good luck because it signifies that your marriage will last. As you know, a knot that becomes wet is extremely hard to untie – therefore, when you “tie the knot” on a rainy day, your marriage is just as hard to unravel.”

October 13, 2018: It was pouring down rain and thunder-storming, we had tornado watches active and everything! But rain or sunshine, this day was a perfect day for Nathan & Whitney to tie the knot in front of their amazing tribe of family and friends. The whole day was full of deep belly laughs, adorable moments, emotional moments, and just genuine LOVE. I could not have asked for a better wedding to photograph. The weather cleared up for us to get some amazing formal shots with an ever-changing sky color that was just phenomenal to see! The bridal party was an absolute hoot, the family for both bride and groom were so amazing and so so precious and caring. As you can see through these images, Whitney & Nathan not only have a solid foundation of love and trust with one another but they have a true solid foundation of support from their tribe. Their wedding vendors, family, and friends all made the night full of such wonderful lasting memories!
