Let me start off by saying, can you believe this dress?! The moment Taryn walked out of the dressing room at Anthropologie, Sara and I were both smiling from ear to ear. Sara and I have had the privilege of knowing Taryn for almost 3 years now and she is one of our closest friends. We had the rare opportunity to start Taryn’s bridal portraits inside an Anthro store and it was so perfect for her style. Throughout the session it was almost too easy to take her portrait because she was trusted that what we were asking her to do would get her the shots she dreamed of. We loved her birdcage veil, her awesome red lipstick, her awesome bouquet created by Blue Lotus and the individuality that came out when all those pieces were put together. We love you Taryn and think you made a wonderful bride.

Costa Rica
Costa Rica was literally the most fun vacation we have ever had. We went with 4 of our best friends, and we stayed on the beach in a super cool house. Not only was it so beautiful, but we had such a fun time on the beach in Playa Grande (about 15 minutes north of Tamarindo) and literally, they have the best pizza ever, not kidding. One night was spent at Tamarindo’s discothèque, and that night was seriously on and poppin – SO much fun. I don’t know of any others will ever top this trip.
Abby + Matt
Outdoor ceremonies are our absolute favorite!! There is almost nothing more romantic than a beautiful outdoor ceremony under a big tree. The Barr Mansion just outside of Austin is a beautiful location and we were so excited when Abby told us that is where they were going to get married. Abby and Matt had a small ceremony and their reception was such a blast. Every details they had was either made by them or had some significant meaning to them and their families. It was such privilege to be a part of it and we can’t wait for more weddings just like this one!
Our Paper Shop
So, I am VERY excited to show everyone these images. A while back, our great friend, Emma, told us the news she was starting a paper shop with her friend, Breanna. Knowing how amazing of a graphic designer Emma is, we were super excited when we talked about shooting the images for the launch of their website. These were shot in our home, and we had such a fun time that day! Our models KILLED it. They did such a great job! And, how amazing are Emma and Breanna?! They are so talented. Hope you guys enjoy the photos.
Shawn + Chris
Coffee. Pie. Boats. Are you kidding me?! This engagement with Shawn and Chris was an absolute dream. From the very beginning all they cared about was giving me the chance to capture them doing what they do best, being totally in love. They had tons of ideas about where we could shoot and what they might bring and we landed on they things they love most; coffee, pie and boats. Fall is one of there favorite seasons and are avid picnicers, so coffee and apple pie were a no brainer and Chris grew up on a lake and now he and Shawn spend tons of time there. I had an absolute blast with these two and loved how open and honest they were with me about their relationship and love for one another.
Jena + David
When we met with Jena & David, who by the way might win the “Most In Love” award, one of the first things they asked was if we would come to Jena’s lake house on Possum Kingdom lake to shoot their engagements. We could not have been more excited, because it is one of our most favorite things when we get the opportunity to shoot someplace that is meaningful to the couple. We shot all over the property, I stepped in mud and even ended the session with a sunset dinner on their porch with their whole family! Thanks Jena & David for making us feel like part of your family.
Laura + Anson
We unfortunately didn’t get to meet Laura and Anson before their wedding but that didn’t stop us from being able to jump right in with them. From the second we arrived at the hotel, we knew this was going to be a great wedding. Laura and Anson were so laid back and you could see that the most important thing to them was their marriage, not the wedding. We LOVED that! They got married at Hickory Street Annex, which we love, and had one of the sweetest first looks we have ever shot. Congrats again Laura and Anson. Ps. first looks are awesome!
McKenzie + David
Bbbbrrrrrrr! When I arrived at McKenzie’s family farm for an early morning engagement session, it was 29 degrees. Yes that is correct, 29 degrees! The moment I got out of the car, McKenzie’s mom greeted me from the front porch and yelled, “You want some coffee and a biscuit?”, I knew it was going to be a good morning. Their farm was absolutely gorgeous and McKenzie and David were such troopers in the cold. They didn’t complained once and even offered for me to get back in the car and warm up if I was too cold. As you can see, they are naturals in front of the camera and I just love the way David looks at McKenzie; he really loves her.
Kate + Cory
I met up with Kate and Cory bright and early one morning in Waxahachie to shoot their engagement session and trust me when I say they were wide awake! They got out of the car laughing and never stopped; these are some fun people! We hit up a few fields and then ended in Downtown Waxahachie, which is Kate’s hometown. I love how Kate and Cory definitely have their own individual personalities but work together perfectly! I can’t wait for their wedding later on this year. It is guaranteed to be a blast!
Amanda + Adam
We LOVE this outdoor wedding in Snyder, Texas, where Sara is from (Sara and Amanda knew each other growing up). We were totally surprised as we drove down lots of dirt roads, and then appeared suddenly at the Windmill Ranch, where they had so many awesome wooden cabins that made for a pretty sweet, rustic wedding. We loved the emotion they both shared during their first look and portraits to follow, we literally stopped taking pictures because they were so moved by their love for each other. Amanda and Adam, you guys were awesome.
