Laura and Steve’s elopement was such a fun experience! They had a very intimate ceremony up in Craggy Gardens with just their son and his godparents. We hiked about a mile to a lovely overlook. From there they had a casual happy hour with about 50 of their closest friends and family, and then a private dinner. It was a day filled with soo much fun, just a big party really. Check it out!

We had an amazing time covering Amy and Ross's wedding. They are such sweet and kind people, and there were lots of laughs throughout the day. The first look was particularly dreamy and beautiful! I think this might have been the most bumpin' dance floor we have shot to date! Nobody held back, and towards the end Ross and Amy jumped on stage and danced for a cheering crowd. After a few minutes people started getting pulled up on stage, and then it just felt like being at an amazing concert. Check out the photos here and enjoy!

Getting to shoot a friend or family member's wedding is always a treat, but this one was particularly special as Kim is my little sister! Kim found a great guy in Michael, and they compliment each other well. We are thrilled to have him as part of our family.

One of the coolest things about doing what I get to do is having the opportunity to be a fly on the wall during every special moment of one of the most important days of peoples lives! It's such an honor and something I hope I never take for granted. Drew and Angela are two of the sweetest people I have ever met, and they made me feel like one of the family from the very start. So honored to get to tell a bit of their story from my perspective.

Lauren and Stephen had the perfect little hill country wedding. Gruene is such a gem of a little town, and Gruene Estate is a beautiful backdrop for a wedding. This one was a personally special one for me as Lauren is my cousin. It’s always a blast shooting a wedding where you know a lot of the guests. It was such a beautiful day, and an amazing party of a reception. Check it out here!

This was my first time shooting a Persian wedding, and it was such an incredible experience! This was technically the sofreh aghd, which is where the traditional ceremonial and legal traditions are exchanged. Time and time again, I’m reminded of how cool it is to get to experience different cultures from the inside, especially on such a happy and celebratory day! Pardeis’ family was so incredibly warm and welcoming to me. They treated me like a guest in their home and not a vendor, which was such an honor. I adored the time I got to spend with them, and I hope that comes across. Enjoy!

What a beautiful wedding this was! One of my favorite first look locations to date. When I found this small, stained glass chapel at the church it was a no brainer. From there we headed to Bent Tree Country Club for the reception where Lance is the Executive Chef. It was a lavish affair with some of the finest food and drink I've encountered at a wedding, and I was honored to be a part of this day! Take a look.

We had such a great time covering Sarah and Ward's wedding! This wedding was chock full of romance. Their pre ceremony gifts were so loving and brought tears to each others eyes, and when they finally got to see each other for the first look, well, you'll see their reactions. It was such an honor to get to tell the story of their wedding day! Check it out.

Nick and Tori are two of the sweetest people I've ever met, and it was such a treat to shoot their wedding. From start to finish, they were cheerful, upbeat, and just generally a pleasure to be around and I think that comes through in these photos. Take a look!

Eric and Annam were such a blast to work with! It's always a treat when you get to work with a couple that trusts you completely and they just want you to do what you do, how you do it. We were blessed with some amazing, cool(for the season) weather in the middle of weeks of rain storms on both sides of the wedding. The setting right down on the waters of Lake Conroe at  couldn't have been any more beautiful! Any time a wedding in Texas is going to have BBQ you know I'm in! So happy to finally share some shots from the wedding after I was away on my honeymoon for a few weeks. Enjoy!

Do I want to shoot a costumed wedding on Halloween at a haunted hotel? Uhm, yes please! I've known Chris and Mallory through some mutual friends for about a year, and they are such an awesome couple! I love meeting people that I can talk all things nerd/geek with. I've said it a million times, but I'm blown away every time at how great my clients are! This weekend was such a blast, especially since we had the whole hotel just for the wedding. Check it out!

I have known Bethany for over 5 years now, so when she and Chris asked if I could be the one to shoot their wedding I was thrilled. Bethany is an amazing wedding photographer herself, so I was honored to have the opportunity. The ceremony and reception were at Bethany's mom and stepdad's farm out in Waller, Texas. It was like a rustic Pinterest dream wedding: seating for the ceremony on hay bails covered in burlap, bar set up in the stables, rocking chairs, swings, bonfires, latterns hanging from trees... it was the epitome of a Texas country wedding. We also lucked out with one of the most perfect November days we could have hoped for. Here is a little peak at how the day went, from start to finish.

Eric and Lindsey are one of those couples that when you're around them you can't help but feel the love in the room. Their passion for each other is impossible to deny, which made my job that much easier! Take a look and see for yourself!

3/14/15 9:26:53.  The first 10 digits of the mathematical constant Pi.  Pi Day.  And to think, I never thought I would get to talk about math on a blog post about wedding photography, yet here we are! 

This is the exact time that Jonathan and Claire chose to begin their wedding ceremony.  The cool thing about Pi is no matter what size circle you use it's always the same number, a constant, unchanging. It's a beautiful concept that Claire and Jonathan did a wonderful job of weaving into their wedding day to make the Pi Day theme visible and fun for everyone.  They served pie instead of a traditional wedding cake, and since it was a morning wedding, there were donuts on arrival. Subtle touches, but for them it had a much deeper meaning: one of unity, wholeness, and infinity. 

I feel so honored to have been a small part of their big day. I'll always think about Pi Day on a slightly deeper level now and not just about circles, math, and pies.

From the moment I met Mark and Lynn I knew their wedding was going to be a lot of fun to shoot. They were laid back, easy going, and downright nice people. The wedding took place at Lynn's families beautiful beach house in Galveston, right on the water. We also lucked out with some amazing weather after weeks of rain, so it all came together pretty swimmingly.

This group definitely knew how to have fun and celebrate. Even Monroe, the family dog, was involved in the action all day long. It was quite a day! No shoes, great food, lots of wine, and dancing late(late) into the night. I mean, does it get any better than that?
