Callie and Kyle met when mutual friends each brought them to a basketball game. They each had no idea they were about to meet the person they would eventually marry. Though Callie was trying to watch the game, Kyle wanted to make conversation and they ended up talking through the entire game. A few short years later, Kyle surprised Callie by proposing to her on the basketball court surrounded by candles.
Read MoreI honestly feel like God brings me the clients that I need at exactly the right time. Lauren and Ryan's wedding is only one month away but by a crazy turn of events, I am now shooting their wedding and I could not be more excited. One of my other amazing clients referred Lauren to me and I am so glad that she did.
Read MoreI met Ashley and John way back last year when I attended the Lubbock Bridal Event. Soon after, they booked me for their Llano Estacado wedding and I hated waiting so long to photograph their day! Luckily we got to meet up for their engagement session in the spring at Texas Tech University. During that time I got to understand their personalities and a little bit of their love story.
Read MoreSheridan is really a kindred spirit to me. I've never had a bride so organized and efficient and I absolutely love it! She's one of those brides that I jive so well with. But while we get stuff done, we also have ton of fun during her sessions. I shot her engagement session with now-husband Jerry back in April and then I shot her bridals a couple of weeks ago. Her hilarious, wonderful mother was there during bridals, of course, and she made the experience even better.
Read MoreThe night before Channing and Josiah's wedding their pastor got a text from a friend because God told him that peacocks would be a sign of the Holy Spirit for him. That friend didn't know that the next day the pastor would be performing a ceremony at Spirit Ranch - a venue known for its flock of peacocks that roam the grounds. During their wedding ceremony they chose to spend time in worship, right before officially becoming husband and wife.
Read MoreTalk about a gorgeous bride! And a total sweetheart! I first met Callie waaaay back in July of last year - exactly one year before her wedding. I loved shooting her and now-husband Kyle's engagement pictures last fall and I had just as much fun shooting her bridals this spring. I always say that the hardest thing about bridals is that I can't publish them until after the wedding. For Callie, I had to wait two months! It was torture!
Read MoreIt's easy to see that Channing is gorgeous and once you get to know her, you find out that she's just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She's one of those people that carries an air of joy with her everywhere she goes. Her smile lights up a room. She was a beautiful bride this past weekend at Spirit Ranch in Lubbock, TX and it was an honor to get to know her and Josiah during their engagement. I know that they have nothing but happy years in front of them!
Read MoreI photographed this sweet family back in November of last year and I was soooo happy to see them again - this time in the heat of June! The timing ended up being quite perfect. Heather (mom) emailed me the day of their shoot because her 89 year old grandfather recently flew in from Iowa. She wanted to see if he could be in a couple of their family photos. I said, "Of course!!" What a wonderful, amazing opportunity for them. I was so happy to be able to capture that photo for them - it's the kind of thing that makes my job so joyful and worthwhile.
Read MoreI could go on and on about how much I love this couple. Just one example of how sweet and amazing they are: Amy texted me the morning after her wedding to say thank you. That one text totally exemplifies how Amy and Ross live their lives - with love, kindness, and consideration for everyone around them. They really are perfect together and I know that they are going to do some amazing things in their marriage.
Read MoreCarsyn + Tino packed a ton of their loved ones into the quaint St. Lucien’s Chapel, which I now believe is one of Amarillo’s best kept secrets. Right before their ceremony, a couple of things happened. First, the bride and groom stood back to back, without seeing each other, as their closest family members surrounded them and covered them in prayer. Tear drops fell down Carsyn’s cheeks during the special, intimate moment. Then, seconds before they walked down the aisle, the sky erupted with a downpour of rain.
Read MoreI have shot a select few weddings that could not have gone better timeline-wise. It is absolutely refreshing when it happens because it allows me to fully do my job and it allows the bride and groom to relax and simply be along for the ride. In contrast, weddings with messy or tight timelines will create a wedding day full of frenzied emotions and frazzled brides.
Read MoreTaylor and Taylor got married in a traditional, elegant wedding at Legacy Event Center in Lubbock, Texas on a perfect spring day. Yes, the bride and groom have the same name and now they have both the same first and last name. However, friends and family use the nicknames “Big Taylor” and “Little Taylor” to differentiate the two. Adorable is an understatement.
