Ashley and Ed: Engagement

Ashley and Ed are the kind of couple that love to let loose and have a good time. I knew we hit the jackpot with these two when they happily agreed to stand in the middle of the biggest swarm of mosquitoes I've ever seen just so we could get our shot. (Thanks again for grabbing a couple of cans of insect repellent Ed!)

After we fought our way through the mutant mosquitoes, we headed toward The Strand to grab a few shots. These two were so happy together that it was as if we weren't even there.

Eventually, we made our way down to the beach where Ashley and Ed let their playful sides show. The day ended with lots of laughing and splashing.

Thanks so much guys! We had a blast hanging out with you and can't wait till the wedding in December.

Andrea and Sam: Wedding

Andrea and Sam were the perfect bride and groom to work with. We had been looking forward to their wedding since we shot their engagement session in May because of how much fun they were and I have to say, they didn't disappoint this time around!

You could feel the excitement in the room as each bridesmaid did her part to make sure that Andrea didn't have to worry about anything but getting ready to meet the man of her dreams. The room was a whirlwind of activity, but the minute Andrea put that dress on... everything was at a standstill. She. Looked. AMAZING! Paige and I even had to remind ourselves to quit ooh-ing and ahh-ing with everyone and start snapping pictures again!

What were the guys doing while all of this was going on?

Sam and his groomsmen were hanging out at the South Shore Harbour Resort looking completely debonair in their tuxes. They enjoyed a few drinks, had some good laughs, and Sam wore a look of complete confidence through it all knowing that he was about to marry the greatest girl he had ever known.

The ceremony was held at the beautiful St. Mary Catholic Church in League City and it went perfectly! As soon as the words "you may kiss the bride" were uttered, the room erupted in cheers for the new Mr. and Mrs. After a few more pictures, it was time to head back over to the resort to start the party - and man was it a good one.

Andrea and Sam, thanks so much for letting us be a part such an important day. Y'all are awesome!

Natalie and Alan Anytime

Recently I got to go back home to Tennessee for a visit with the family. If you haven't been there, you need to go... It's BEAUTIFUL! Spring in Tennessee means Mother Nature puts on her routine show - rain in the morning, clear for the afternoon, and storms in the evening. As you can imagine, that leaves the outdoors looking amazing. The rain saturates the trees and grass with a rich, green color making for some great looking pictures. I had to take advantage of that so I grabbed my brother, Alan and his beautiful girlfriend (my future sis!), Natalie and we headed out for some pics.

Alan is handsome and extremely witty - the kind of witty that we all wish we could be. He doesn't say much but what he does say is usually hilarious. He's working on his last year of Pharmacy school (so proud of you!!) and is extremely busy so I was lucky to steal him away for a bit. Natalie, gorgeous and kindhearted, is the perfect example of the modern day southern belle - you can't help but fall in love with her the second you meet her. Seriously, I challenge you not to... you will fail. :)

I dragged these two all over to try and grab the shots I wanted. I couldn't have had better models. They did everything I asked and more.

Thanks guys, for letting me steal you away for as long as you did. I had a blast!

We hope you had a wonderful time in Spain! It was great to get to know you two and thank you for letting us be a part of your special day.

Enjoy!

Karrie and Nestor Wedding

Last Sunday, we had the privilege of shooting Karrie and Nestor's wedding at Rice Memorial Chapel. Before we left the house it was hailing(!), so we were a little uncertain about being able to shoot outside. The radar picture of what was coming only solidified that uncertainty. Once we got there, the clouds dropped a few more sprinkles and then departed to reveal an amazing blue sky for the rest of the evening. It really was a miracle...

Karrie appeared calm and collected as she prepared to walk down the aisle, but she wasn't fooling anyone. The excitement was evident in her sparkling eyes and radiant smile. We even managed to snag a couple of photos of her peeking around the corner to catch a glimpse of the man she was about to marry.

As Nestor waited on the moment he would see his bride, he couldn't stop smiling. The smiles continued through their touching ceremony, and never faded as the new Mr. and Mrs. danced the night away.

Karrie and Nestor, thanks to you for allowing us to be a part of your day. At times, I had to remind myself to keep clicking, even though there were tears clouding up my viewfinder! It's so easy to see the love and happiness you share, and we wish you all the best in your life together. Enjoy Spain!

Andrea and Sam Engagement

You can just tell by the way Sam makes Andrea giggle that the two are completely in love. Sam gingerly takes Andrea's hand as they walk over uneven ground and sweeps away the tall grass to clear a path for her to walk through, and a smile makes its way to Andrea's face each time Sam looks her way.

Before the sun came up yesterday, we met Andrea and Sam in League City for an engagement session. After we got the caffeine flowing, we managed to capture the sweetest moments between these two!

We are shooting their wedding in July at St. Mary's and South Shore Resort, and if their e-session yesterday means anything...their wedding is going to be a blast!

Paige

See?! So much fun!

This is definitely my favorite of the day!

They're just so sweet together.

She wins!
