Wedding: Megan + Spencer

It was freakishly cold yet sunny day March when Megan and Spencer said forever. They had the ceremony at The Star of Texas Bed and Breakfast and it was beautiful. Megan and Spencer are both in the army, I've shot military weddings before but this one was a first - the first time I've ever seen a couple light a unity cigar, first time seen a cut with a k-bar knife, and the first time I've heard the minister say "you may now kiss your superior officer."

Megan and Spencer's wedding had some very unique details thanks to their vendors - Davis Floral, Taste of Heaven Bakery, and Star of Texas Bed and Breakfast, and their wonderful friends and family. We wish you all the happiness in the world!

Engagement Session: Stephanie + Bradley

I had the pleasure of photographing Stephanie and Bradley's engagement portraits over 4th of July weekend. We did the portraits at Stephanie's family's place Rancho Del Orso outside of Comanche. The sky was threatening rain the whole time, but it waited until after we were done to let loose and we rolled with it. The upside of stormy weather is it gives you such dramatic skies.

Thanks to an amazing location, an awesome couple, and an array of photogenic animals we got some really cool shots - enjoy!

Wedding: Troy + Carmen

It was damp and muddy day when Troy and Carmen said I do, but the sun was shining and it was the day before Valentine's Day so how could it not be romantic? Carmen wore her "Urban Boots" and made the walk down the trail at The Star of Texas Bed and Breakfast where Troy had proposed, and had the ceremony under the glistening bottle trees.

They called it an elopement for five, and it was really beautiful the way they incorporated Carmen three lovely daughters into the ceremony. I thank Troy and Carmen for letting me get to know their family and photograph it's being - I wish them all the happiness in the world!

Engagement Session: Melissa & Brian

Back when I was massively pregnant (yes it was awhile ago) I spent an awesome afternoon running around downtown Brownwood with Melissa and Brian shooting their engagement portraits. It was harder than usual to do my patented laying on the ground move we still got great pictures of a fun couple! I can't wait to see what we get at their wedding in April! Here are the highlights from Melissa and Brian's engagement.

Engagment Session: Carmen + Troy

I had the pleasure of shooting Carmen and Troy's engagement portraits back before Thanksgiving. Carmen and Troy are such fun, it's great to be able to photograph such a relaxed, laid back couple. They are getting married in February at the Star of Texas Bad and Breakfast so we shot their portraits out there on the trail. Here are the results.

Day After Shoot : Jackie and K.C

I had the pleasure of shooting a day after portrait session with Jackie and K.C. a couple of weeks ago at Scott and Lindsay Pruitt's horse ranch. Day After Shoots are a great chance to have a relaxed portrait session with out worrying about getting the dress dirty or making it to the reception on time. You can also use multiple locations, like the barn, ranch and field that aren't available on the wedding day but fit your style or sentimental meaning to you as a couple.
Thanks to Jackie and K.C. for modeling, Scott and Lindsay for letting us tromp around on their land, and Big Daddy and Flash Fire for being the most photogenic horses ever! Casual country style hair and make-up was provided by the fabulous Kalle Martin and Kelcy Potts, and the beautiful flowers were provided by Bangs Flowers and Gifts.

Wedding: Angelina & Colburn Tucker

Back in June we photographed Colburn and Angelina's wedding out at the Cross Plains farm they spent months converting into a perfect wedding venue. The forecast was not great to say the least, it rained all week and Saturday morning bad weather looked imminent. Thankfully the weather cleared, and we had a beautiful day! Just a little good luck rain :) Angelina looked stunning! Thanks for a great day and all of your enthusiasm! Best wishes and enjoy your new home!
