To follow Sarah and Zach’s wedding here is their wedding invitation set! Like Cyndea said, Sarah is such an easy sweet gal to work with! I loved getting to do both her wedding invitations and photography… what a treat and such a fun way to get to know her and Zach!

Despite the yuck weather and the dreariness all around us, I the way Mackenzie and Spencer’s engagement session turned out.  Kate and I shot this one together (which was a treat in itself), and I really enjoyed laughing at Spencer’s goofiness.  There were some seriously funny pictures I could have posted on here!!  But the rest I love still…

We had so much fun photographing Sarah and Zach’s big day! The couple, the wedding party, venue, etc. were perfect. Sarah was easily one of the most chilled and laid-back brides ever! We had a great time hanging out and capturing all of the preparations and moments before they got to finally see each other inside the church. The two of them were clearly so excited and ready to be married and celebrate with their friends and family.
They got married at The First United Methodist Church in Austin and had their reception at the Salt Lick Pavilion in Driftwood. The reception was complete with great food and lots of fun dancing! It was beautiful and festive and everything seemed to go on without a hitch. Through hearing the toasts and kind words from their friends and family, you got a great sense of how special and truly awesome these two are. They are definitely loved! It was so fun to see everyone celebrate these two and share in their special day.

With Cyndea in Florida for a YoungLife retreat and Kate in Guatemala with Noonday Collection, I find it tough to work knowing they are both on vacation :)  But I had fun with my iphone this past weekend taking the place of my usual camera.  So I’ll share some favorites that just about wrap up our weekend at the ranch.

(ok I lied….the pic above was taken with my MarkII….just before it died)

Happy Monday!

There are several families that make up this bunch. We have brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins. They all wanted to get together to capture some photos together as they all live in different areas of Texas. The main reason for gathering was to get some pictures with their grandmother, the tie that bonded them all together. Sadly, a week before the session, she passed away after a tough fight with cancer. The family, however, still wanted to have pictures taken in memory of her. She was a huge Texas Longhorn fan.  So in honor of her, they all wanted to have a group picture wearing their burnt orange proudly (even if there happened to be some Aggies in the bunch).
I loved getting to hang out with these families for a couple of hours. They made the session fun and easy.

Meet Kerry… a senior at Villanova University studying nursing. I’ve known Kerry since we ran around the neighborhood together on “ice days”, played behind the bleachers at our brothers’ baseball games and swam every summer day at Barton Springs. She is one of the sweetest souls you’ll ever meet. I was so honored to capture these photos of her!

Well, there wasn’t going to be a post today until I found out something really cool. You might remember our friend, Kim, from some blog posts awhile back about Bella Bridesmaid in Austin and in San Antonio. This whole time I thought she just went on a long trip out of the country last summer. But here’s what she was really up to….

How cool!!! So excited for you, Kim!

About time I posted this cute couple I got to hang out with in the fall! Sarah and Will are so stinking cute together… I mean I know I could say that about a lot of couples, but I was pretty much laughing at everything these two did together. They met doing Young Life camp and definitely seem to love life (and each other) well! Don’t miss their great save the date idea… see the bottom of their boots :).

This was my first time to The McMillians ranch outside of Mason, TX. I have to say, it was one of the most beautiful places! I personally think the Hill Country is amazing and has some of the prettiest sunsets! The hills and all the rocks are awesome!
This family was so nice and welcoming. I immediately felt comfortable with them and almost like I had known them for awhile and not just a few short hours. I loved getting to see their place and take pictures in a spot that is very special to them. Once that sun hit the trees…wow! It was amazing!
