Coco and Ken got married this last weekend and these are their “pre-wedding” bridals!  What a sweet couple!  So happy for you as you ride off into the sunset (on a Harley) together!  :)

I don’t think I ever posted this because I wanted to wait for the wedding!  At least I am getting it posted before they have their first anniversary…..ha.

I met with Julie recently to do her bridal portraits.  She is going to be a GORGEOUS bride.  I had fun teasing her that she was so pretty she looked like a Barbie!  Julie has some awesome plans for her wedding that include hot pink and zebra stripe!  I can’t wait to shoot it!  Congratulations to Julie and her LUCKY groom.

It was a very WINDY day but we made it through with hair mostly intact and got some awesome images for Stacey’s bridals.  I am shooting her wedding in Junction and can’t wait!  

Cayla and Jerrod’s wedding was this weekend….so I can FINALLY post some of her awesome bridals.  The day of Cayla’s bridal shoot, there were fires everywhere.  Smoke filled the sky and there was ash coming down like rain.  I was so afraid that we would have to cancel but we decided at the last minute to go out to Christoval where it wasn’t bad.  Everything turned out perfectly.  Cayla is sooooo gorgeous!  We had so much fun and I didn’t want to quit shooting because all of her pictures were amazing!

I got to take Lindsey and Eric’s engagements, her bridals, and their wedding to finish it off.  One thing is for certain.  Eric LOVES Lindsey.  I was so happy to get to spend time with them and get to know them as a couple.  MUCH HAPPINESS, Lindsey and Eric……Thank you!

I travelled to Ft. McKavett to photograph Summer’s wedding.  It was one of the coolest weddings I have ever done.  The venue, Hirshfeld Chapel, was amazing but what I really liked about the wedding was how genuinely emotional everyone was.  There was a ton of LOVE in the room and Summer was such an amazing person.  She seemed to truly enjoy her day and not get caught up in stressing over the details.  Her dress and headpiece were also AAAA-mazing!  I thought she looked fabulous and I loved the 1940′s vibe she had going on!  PERFECT!!!

I was not able to post these until after the wedding but Lindsey and Eric are now happily married!  I met Lindsey at Ft. Concho to do her bridal session.  She is the prettiest and tiniest bride!  I loved her hot pink shoes!  

Crystal and Richard were married in a beautiful venue in Abilene, Texas.  She was a perfectly beautiful bride and her flowers were amazing!  Great choice of color!The wind did not cooperate at all with us, but we still braved the elements to get my favorite type of outdoor shots.

This wedding was just about perfect in every way and even more perfect because I could see how happy and in love my friend Crystal is.  Congratulations you guys!!!  You are the BEST kind of couple!

If you remember last summer I did a great engagement session with Lindsey and her fiance Eric. This month I was able to take her bridal portraits, which I was thrilled to do.

Loved the rustic look of the floors in this picture, and her dress is BEAUTIFUL!

and again I LOVE HER SHOES!!!! Can’t wait till their wedding in March!

This sweet couple just recently got married in Christoval! I had a lot of fun taking their pictures. They have already moved to FLORIDA to begin their military life!  Best wishes to both of them and thank you for letting me share in your day!
