I’ve been to the Sekrit Theater greenhouse venue surely over 100 times over 12+ years (I’m serious), but had somehow never photographed a wedding there. That is…until Meghan & Anthony’s elopement this summer! I don’t know what took so long, but THANK YOU to M&A for choosing me. I literally know this venue like the […]

I don’t just show up and take photos of a proposal. 📸 I’m very involved in the planning process and often provide advice on every aspect of the event. It’s all about finding the right balance between… These two things are often in direct opposition to each other. Each couple has different priorities. Planning and […]

#MarryMeMonday🥂 This is why I tell people to 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 after a proposal. This isn’t a photo session. Your proposal is bigger than the photos. Talk, enjoy the moment, and truly ignore me. Some of the best candid photos are taken in the moments afterward, so there’s no need to rush into taking “posed” […]

I always tell couples that movement is the key to taking authentic, personality-filled engagement photos. They had NO problem with this. We took their […]

#MarryMeMonday🥂 Christian proposed to Sofia on a beautiful summer evening at Mount Bonnell. They’ve been together since 2020 (which I can’t believe has been more than 6 years), and they were both excited to start this new phase of their lives together. I met up with their families beforehand, and we decided where they would […]

Jordan & Rob’s wedding is one I’ll never forget! They chose the Probate Courthouse in downtown Austin for their ceremony. They loved the look of the courtroom and the marble staircase inside the building. It’s truly beautiful. 🤩 It was a rainy November day, and staying dry was a challenge all day, but they handled […]

Just look below 😍 Garrett proposed to his girlfriend Sammie at the bridge in the Japanese Garden.
