Lindsey + Colton. The Wedding.

Lindsey and Colton Glasscock tied the knot a few weeks ago, and I'm sure glad they invited me to be a part of their big event! My amazing second shooter for the day, Therese Barrett, and I had a blast capturing the details and emotions that the day had to offer. Therese was fabulous and has such an eye for capturing little ones (which is her forte, check out her website). My job never gets old, as each new event offers fresh and exciting moments to photograph. The bride's sister Lauren is a creative type as well, and set up an awesome time lapse of the wedding & reception. I totally want to learn how to do this, it's great! With no further adieu, let's get to the images & let them do the talking! Enjoy.

HAD&P Featured on Style Me Pretty Texas!

I'm so thrilled to share with you guys that we've been featured on the adorable go-to wedding blog- Style Me Pretty: Texas!! You all probably remember my wedding debut from Fredericksburg with Charla & Jon Lee back in March. The amazing florist from this event, Melanie Tipton from Last Petal in Austin, Tx contacted me and suggested I submit these images to Style Me Pretty. Little did I know they would actually pick up the post the very next week!! This quaint Texas wedding was every photographer’s dream come true. All the details and romantic touches seemed to come straight from a J.Crew or Anthropologie ad campaign. The wedding was so classic, so charming, and so quaint. The union took place at the Hoffman Haus in Fredericksburg, Texas & was a complete success. Wedding coordinator Luis Carmona was exceptional and made sure each intricate detail was executed properly. He was absolutely amazing to work with & he certainly kept Amy-Rose and I laughing the entire day.

The decorations from this event were just perfection and the bride and her family worked diligently to make sure each significant detail came together swimmingly. The candle and tree stump centerpieces were actually hand cut by the bride's mom. The trees came from the bride's grandfather's field. The signs that have the cities where their families traveled from are actually wood slats from the her grandfather's barn also and were hand painted by her mom.

My fabulous second shooter Amy-Rose King, of Amy-Rose King Photography, shot along side me at this wedding and contributed some phenomenal images. The flowers were provided by Last Petal out of Austin, Texas and provided  fresh, soft and elegant touches to the vintage backdrop. The wedding was the absolute picture of romance set alongside a true Texas treasure, The Hoffman Haus.

Last but not least, an immense thank you to the bride & groom, Charla & Jon Lee. I'm so very appreciative to have been included in your beautiful wedding. You made my job so easy, but most importantly, so fulfilling!! Cheers to you, your happy marriage, and your beautiful wedding!!

Carly + Travis: The Wedding

Carly and Travis are one of those couples you catch yourself staring at adoringly. Maybe it's because they are so darn cute together, or perhaps how contagious their love is for one another. Looking back through these images, I can't help but smile at the way Travis looks at Carly. As the story goes, Travis fell hard for Carly when she wasn't available and was already dating someone else. Apparently this didn't phase Travis, and he waited years for his chance to sweep her off her feet. Needless to say, he got his long awaited opportunity and the rest is history. It's stories like this that make my heart melt, and it's people like Carly and Travis that make my job so addicting! Thank you both for letting me be a part of your big day. Also, a big thanks to my sweet mom, Candy Thames, for coming along to this wedding as my second shooter (and moral supporter!). If you get a chance, go check out Clayton Stringer's video from this wedding. He just recently started a new videography business and is very talented and a pleasure to work with! Carly & Travis, you two have a beautiful future full of love and happiness. I wish you ALL the best. Thanks again.

Brandon + Stacy: The Wedding

I was so honored and thrilled to be a part of Brandon & Stacy's big day on May 7th, 2011 at the Historic Baker Building of Lubbock. I got to know these lovebirds back in the fall when we initially met for their engagement session. Needless to say, these two are easy going AND easy on the eyes! I just love how in love they are. I'm feeling especially mushy tonight, partly because I'm holding my brand new beautiful baby niece in my lap as I type this, and partly because it's 4:00am and I can't sleep in this stiff chair they call the "visitor's bed" here at the hospital. Enough of my baby babbling, I'll be posting MUCH more about Miss Madeley Marie McDowell later this week, but as for now this post is about the beautiful newlyweds. Stacy & Brandon! Their wedding was perfect from every angle and the reception was a hoot. They are surrounded by such fun family & friends. By the end of the reception I had picked up a few new dance moves, thanks to some of the more distinguished groomsmen! Also, a big thanks to my old friend & second shooter Brittany Jones of Brit Jones Photography. She and I had so much fun together and she really helped me to capture the details of the big day. Hope you all enjoy.

Wedding Debut

I'm so thrilled to share with you guys my first big wedding debut!! I hit the jackpot with Charla & Jon, (thanks JoBeth!) and have been in love with this couple ever since. Charla and Jon Lee, (the NEW Mr. & Mrs), found me a while back and asked me to be a part of their big day. I was completely thrilled, as I admittedly stalked them on facebook prior to accepting the invitation to shoot their wedding. I decided they were one of the cutest couples ever and perfect for my first big wedding job! As I've mentioned before on their engagement post, even if I wasn't their "photographer" I feel like we would be great friends one way or another. When Charla was describing her wedding details I envisioned it straight from a JCrew or Anthropologie ad campaign. Something so classic, so charming, and SO CHARLA! The wedding took place at the Hoffman Haus in Fredericksburg, Texas & was a complete dream. The evening was the perfect jump start to what I know will be an amazing marriage and hopefully a new chapter in my photography career! I'm giving a HUGE shout out to my second shooter Amy-Rose King, who shot along side me at this wedding. I couldn't have done it without her. We had such a fabulous time thanks to Jon & Charla & their wonderful guests. I'm going to let the images explain the rest. Enjoy & leave them some love!
