Y’all know I that photograph many big weddings, but elopements and micro weddings are such a fun change of pace. I’m excited to share one of my favorite micro weddings ever! Jenna & Kevin met 5 years ago at UT law school. They’ve spent half of their relationship long-distance and couldn’t wait any longer to […]

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 […]
