Marissa + Russell [Los Patios Wedding]
Posted on January 5, 2012
When I arrived at Los Patios one afternoon in November, I was not met by the usual chaos and hubbub that usually surrounds a wedding. As I walked upstairs in search of the wedding party, I was met by Russell — happy, calm, and so ready. When I walked into the bridal suite, I felt the same peace. Marissa and Russell just have this level of deep love for each other that to get married was the most natural thing in the world. No jitters, no nerves, just peace. As Marissa’s dad walked her down the aisle, I just loved watching Russell’s face… both of their faces! Now that’s love.
These two share a love that I can tell is deep and true — the kind of love you could only have for your very best friend and soulmate. It was such an amazing celebration. A beautiful day, their son, two happy and loving families, amazing wedding details… everything was perfect.

Derek & Amber [Wedding]
Posted on December 9, 2011
Derek and Amber’s ceremony was truly probably one of the sweetest weddings I’ve ever been to. The whole day was just so full of joy and happiness and thankfulness. I have to admit getting a little teary as they said their vows to each other. It was a beautiful day in every way. Derek and Amber, we wish you all the best as you begin your new life together!

Kim + Edgar [Hill Country Wedding]
Posted on July 27, 2011
I’ve had the privilege of knowing Kim for a number of years now. It makes me feel old to say this, but she was one of the teens in our youth group when Aaron was youth pastor. She’s always been one of those girls who loves everyone, takes her faith seriously, and is serious about making a difference with her life. Oh, and she’s gorgeous and sweet and totally awesome. When she e-mailed me to say she was getting married, I knew this had to be one amazing guy… and he is. It’s so awesome to watch them together. They adore each other, have tons of fun together, and watching them, you know that this is a couple that’s the real deal. Their wedding was an intimate Hill Country event in Boerne that turned out just perfect. Kim and Edgar, I was so honored to take part in such an amazing day. Thank you, and congratulations!

Dana and Luke’s summer wedding was beautiful, sweet, and full of colorful details. The Grande Hall at Hofmann Ranch was the perfect backdrop for the occasion. I’ve absolutely loved getting to know Dana, Luke, and their families. Such a great legacy of love and kindness! Here are a few of my favorite pics from the day…

David + Kim [Port Aransas Vow Renewal]
Posted on July 5, 2011
David and Kim first met at an HOA meeting. As Kim and I sit and talk over coffee, she laughs as she recalls that she just thought he was some weird hippie guy.” She couldn’t have suspected that this man was her perfect match and that she’d end up marrying him someday. Now twenty years had passed since their Port Aransas wedding, and they wanted to celebrate. So they invited all their close family and friends down for a laid back weekend at the beach, and celebrate they did.
When I first met David and Kim at their daughter’s wedding, I could tell that their love was deep and special and fun. They’re the kind of couple that make each other better, and others are better for having been around them. They don’t take themselves too seriously. They’re happy. And in love after all these years. It’s inspiring to see!
David and Kim, it was such an honor to be able to witness and celebrate your marriage and your love. Thank you!

It’s far more personal than the old stuffy kind that only has lines for signatures, and you’re sure to pull it out time and time again throughout the years.

Can I just say that I love Dana and Luke? I mean really, they’re the cutest, sweetest, coolest couple. A few weeks ago we met out at the family lakehouse for their engagement portraits. Not only was it beautiful out there, but it also happens to be where Luke proposed! I so enjoyed getting to know them both, and can’t wait for the wedding! Here are a few of my favorites!

Wedding Books
Posted on December 28, 2010
One thing I love about the wedding books that we offer is that, not only do they include all of the photos from your wedding day, but they can be customized pretty easily. Katy came over one day to view her wedding images, and while she was here, we were able to look through swatches and plan her wedding book. I just got it in and I love the way it came out! She opted for a 9.5×9.5 square book with a pearlescent natural white cover. Don’t you love it?
