Fall Wedding at The Addison Grove | Stephanie & Alex

Stephanie & Alex wanted their wedding to feel like a romantic garden party. 🌿 They imagined string lights, soft florals with pops of bright pink, and a ceremony under a grove of oak trees. It was all of that and so much more! Their wedding day had rain in the forecast, but it held off […]

Autumn Proposal at The Sekrit Theater Greenhouse | Zachary & Juliana

Filed in : Proposal

The Sekrit Theater in the short window of Texas Fall… is there anything better? The vines that weave through the greenhouse have yellow leaves that are falling quickly.

Romantic Post-Wedding Photos | Annalin & Spencer

Filed in : Elopement, Engagement

There is no “correct” way to get married. I love when couples throw the rules out of the window and create their own wedding experience. Annalin & Spencer did just that! A month earlier, they got married at the courthouse and had an after party with friends at GameOn ATX. I haven’t been there, but […]
