amanda + stephen | victoria wedding | victoria country club

Say hello to Amanda and Stephen's glorious wedding :D

These two were wed last month in my hometown of Victoria, Texas. They had such a fun getting ready process filled with anticipation and joy for the main event. When the big church doors swung open and Amanda made her way down the aisle, it was evident to all in attendance how much they care for one another. The reception was at the Victoria County Club and was packed with lively dancing thanks to a great band, which did a great job keeping things flowing throughout the night.

Hopefully the photos show what an amazing day it was! :)  

hailey + charles | austin engagements | ft worth wedding photographer

Ohhh!!!

Sigh. If I never get to do a session again, and this was my last one, I'd retire as a happy happy photographer :D

Hailey scheduled her engagement session at her grandparent's ranch just outside of Austin because so many amazing memories took place there while growing up. But is just so happens to be a complete dream to photograph too! It had a beautiful little creek, swings, an old stone wall with a framed window and door, and a treehouse?!?! Plus a canoe was involved in there too, I'm not sure if it gets any better ;)

Hailey and Charles' moms were roommates and best friends in college so they knew of each other their entire lives, but didn't officially meet until a ski trip their sophomore year at Abilene Christian University. How amazing is that? Talk about moms knowing best :D. They are graduating in May and Hailey is majoring in advertising/public relations and wants to work for a corporate or non-profit organization. Charles is a physical therapy major and has plans to attend medical school next June. Yay! One day they would love to do medical missions together in a foreign country.

With these photos, what you see is what you get: One amazing couple that completely loves each other and Jesus. It makes my heart so happy to be able to photo them :D

I hope y'all find many you love!! And I cannot wait for your wedding this June!!

Below: This photo is upside down, but it's their reflection in the water! So much fun. :D

rector family | dallas wedding photographer

The sweet Rector family has a new little addition! Please meet adorable little Tripp.

I had so much fun with this family, a huge thank you for asking me to take your pics! It's pretty normal for parents and furniture to get peed on at a session, but this was a first for me...... and let's just say I was initiated with the pee TWICE! I was about 2-3 feet away each time it happened too! Great aim, haha! I feel rather honored now that my official initiation to newborn photography is complete ;) hehe

Hope you love them!

chelsie + kyle | grapevine wedding | delaney vineyards wedding

And here it is, Chelsie and Kyle's fantastic wedding celebration at the Delaney Vineyards and Winery! Both of them went to Texas A&M and that's actually where they met. Check out the sweet story along with their engagement photos for more on that ;). Oh, and I don't know what it is, but the A&M crowds are always SO FUN! Whenever I find out it's an A&M wedding, I know it will be full of joy and many laughs.

Chelsie and Kyle's ceremony took place inside the winery amidst giant wooden barrels. On the outside patio they created adorable little sitting areas. CocoFleurEvents did all the amazing flowers, and my favorite was how they incoporated the study lamps into all the table arrangements and then the cute little pencils for each place setting. Adorable!

Enjoy :D
