Jessica's Bridals - at Texas Old Town, Kyle, TX

I'm so excited to finally be able to post these!  These were taken at Texas Old Town in Kyle, TX.  To me, one of the hardest parts about shooting bridals is the waiting until after the wedding to post the pictures!  I just love photographing brides.  So Jessica stepped out of the dressing room looking so stunning and dainty as you can see.  About an hour into the shoot she traded in her bouquet for her gun, how awesome is that!!?  She and her (now husband) love to go duck hunting together so she had snagged some of his gear and her gun to shoot a couple of pictures just for him.  Loved it!

At one point during Jessica's shoot her mother, Patti, said something about trying to get one of the horses out in the pasture to come up to the fence.  I honestly thought there's no way one of those horses would just mossy on up to the fence but sure enough about 10 minutes later we headed out to the pasture and there was Patti petting this beautiful horse!  I was ecstatic!  The horse just LOVED Jessica and loved having his picture taken as well.  We couldn't have asked for better weather, for more beautiful skies, and for basically the perfect venue.  A few days after the shoot Patti emailed me telling me that it has always been Jessica's dream to have her bridals taken with a horse.  I am still so choked up how things turned out!  Jessica's inner and outer beauty seriously shines through these photos.

Whitney's Bridal Portraits

I have been so anxious to post these!  The beautiful Whitney married one of my brother's childhood friend's and I couldn't have been more honored to be their photographer!  Whitney is not only extremely gorgeous but she was so much fun.  She was such a trooper, it was a whopping 89 degrees and not a cloud in the sky and the poor bride-to-be was nearly meting out of her dress... though you cant tell!  I love the location she choose.  There was one particular peacock who was very curious about Whitney (either that or just really wanted his picture taken).  He kept wondering in and out of the shoots which made for a dream like setting.  Some of these pictures reminded me of a fairy tale.

Lydia & Derrick Tie the Knot!

Lydia & Derrick are such a sweet couple!  They had a beautiful, traditional wedding in one of the most beautiful churches I have seen.  Though the day was wet and rainy, the couple didn't let that stop them from having a fantastic day and by the time the sun came out, it was time to party.  The couple was surrounded by their friends and family and danced all night.  I can't tell you guys how much fun I had photographing the Wedding March, which went on for over 30 minutes.  Lydia & Derrick are such a beautiful and fun couple and I want to wish them all the best in their future!  Congratulations!
