ARIZONA. One of my favorite places on Earth. I love the southwest, saguaro cacti, bright sunlight, desert mountains, all of it. Traveling across the country to photograph couples in incredible landscapes is a DREAM JOB. (Yes, that deserves to be in all caps, bold, and italics.) Lindsey & Jack’s adventurous photo session was way too […]

Filed in : Engagement

Krista was the new girl working at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, so she didn’t want to be toooooo eager about getting to know Leo, but she liked him right away. And when he gave her his phone number, she figured it was a normal coworker gesture, but NOPE… turns out he liked her […]

After five years of dating, and many, many long walks around the Texas Capitol, Bharg proposed to Ishita in front of the capitol building this weekend! Ishita’s reaction was just awesome.

Mary Kate & Dakota’s Winter Wedding at Inn at Quarry Ridge

Filed in : Wedding

Mary Kate & Dakota’s wedding definitely got everyone ready for Christmas! Holiday music was playing throughout the day, and every room was decorated with Christmas trees, lights, garland, and ornaments. I loved it! The other theme of the day was Texas A&M, which was no surprise for these two Aggies (who both graduated just days […]
