I LOVE shooting at places that are special + unique to my clients and Emily and Jeremy gave me the opportunity to do just that! Jeremy is a firefighter in Canyon, Texas so it was only natural that we take photos of the pair in his fire station. After the station, we went out to their property south of Canyon where they own several acres and took pictures as the sun set in the Texas sky. We brought out their sweet horses just as the sun was meeting the horizon.
Read MoreEmily and Sawyer are one of those amazing, sweet couples that serve as a reminder of why I love my job so much. They decided to get married in the same spot that Sawyer proposed - at the Fulford Barn in Brownfield, TX. Their wedding day was nothing short of magical. The word that came to mind during their wedding day was romantic. Everything from Emily’s off-the-shoulder dress to the hand-lettered details spoke of romance.
Read MoreLeah and Tristan have a wonderfully convoluted love story. They met while in college at a party about three years ago. While Tristan was immediately drawn to Leah, the next time they met she couldn't remember his name nor remember meeting him. After bumping into each other a couple more times, they eventually develop a friendship over shared interests and inside jokes. After several outings together, a friend asks them if they are dating and they realized that yes, they were. Eventually they fall in love and go on a trip to Europe where Tristan proposes to Leah in Rome on the Tiber River (I mean, WOW!).
Read MoreI'm pretty sure that Marc's reaction when he saw his bride Logan for the first time on their wedding day was the best I've seen. He certainly set the bar high for other guys to reach with his emotional reactions - both during the first look and as she was walking down the aisle. Real, raw moments like that make me so excited on a wedding day.
Read MoreThese two have been together a long, long time. And it shows in the best of ways <3
Their engagement session in Palo Duro Canyon turned out to have less than ideal weather conditions (sudden wind and rain!) but Maddison and Dan kept great attitudes and just had fun together. Those are the best kind of couples that I get to work with - the kind that go with the flow and live in the moment despite the turbulence around them. I loved getting to know them and I can't wait for their fall wedding.
Read MoreI am so excited and proud to have Brenna and Landon's Santa Fe Wedding published on Rocky Mountain Bride this week! The beauty of the sunset on their day had me absolutely giddy. It was one of my favorite weddings from last year for so many reasons and I'm happy that more people get to see it!
Read MoreLogan's bridal session was my very first one after maternity leave. After 6 weeks off, it was a wonderful session to dip my toes back in the water! Luckily we were blessed with the most perfect, sunny Spring evening that the Texas Panhandle could give us. And luckily Logan is ridiculously gorgeous! I mean, look at this girl's pretty eyes. After her shoot, I was even more excited to photograph her and Marc's wedding at Spirit Ranch in Lubbock.
Read MoreI am so excited and proud to have my photos of Cassidyy and Daniel's Amarillo wedding featured in the Real Weddings section of The Knot Texas's Fall/Winter 2018 issue! Last November, the magazine contacted me to tell me they would like to feature the wedding and naturally, I was ecstatic. I kept it a secret since then (that was hard!) but now that the issue has been published, I am shouting it from the rooftops. It's such an honor to be published in one of the most popular wedding magazines in the country.
Read MoreThe way Sawyer proposed to Emily was pretty sweet. They knew they were going to get married at some point so they were already touring wedding venues. Their hearts were set on the Fulford Barn outside of Brownfield, Texas. They walked around the property and eventually made it to the lawn where much to Emily's surprise, Sawyer had set up a table with pictures of the two of them, beautiful flowers, and other sweet memorabilia. He then got down on one knee and asked her to become his wife.
Read MoreWhat a sweet, young family to spend an evening with! Despite the wind and the cold that February brought us, we made the most of our time and they kept each other warm. And when the little ones were done taking pictures, I spent some extra time with mom and dad because they haven't had pictures with just the two of them in quite some time :)
Read MoreYou can tell a lot about a couple by the time the wedding toasts occur. And for Allison and Eric, it’s easy to see they are two amazing people who became one even more amazing married couple. Their family and friends were brimming with happy tears as they talked about each individual and how excited they were to see the two become husband and wife. It’s one of my favorite parts of a wedding day and their toasts are some that I won’t soon forget. It fills me with joy to know that I’m serving such great people.
Read More"We were together...I forget the rest" - Walt Whitman
Literary quotes decorated Rachel and Matt's wedding - making their day a true reflection of their personalities. Even before Matt came along, Rachel always wanted a winter wedding and I hope the late December day in Palo Duro Canyon was everything she imagined it would be. Despite the 20 degree weather- and from a photographer’s perspective - I’m so glad they still decided to get married outside. In the frigid temperatures they said their vows as Rachel’s dad officiated and they planted a new pine tree together. It was a representation of their young marriage and the years of cultivation and care ahead of them.
