Celina + Wes San Antonio Wedding

Celina and Wes were blessed with a beautiful wedding day in the heart of San Antonio. There is nothing better than a fall wedding with what feels like summer weather! We were fortunate to have the beautiful golden hues that November light has to offer, paired with the warm sun-kissed temperatures of the South. Celina and Wes have known each other practically all their lives and were high school sweethearts. Celina attended TCU and Wes went to A&M, but they still managed to maintain a relationship that would make it to the altar after all these years!! These two are truly so in love and are a stunning couple in every way. They were surrounded by wonderful friends and family who showed up to support and celebrate this union in style. The reception was unreal and the Garza's hosted an elegant seated dinner and an incredible party accompanied by the band The Pictures (who played at our wedding in 2009, truly the best wedding band around)! It was a joy to see Celina and Wes so happy and in love. Weddings like this just confirm why I love photography so much.

 A special thanks to Ashley Rodgers for meeting me in San Antonio to second shoot! You are a total blast my friend!

Neely + Cody Boerne Wedding Photography

Neely and Cody were blessed with a perfectly crisp fall day for their splendid Hill Country wedding. They got married at the Don Strange Ranch in Boerne, and I was so excited to learn that Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert tied the knot there just this past year!! Neely & Cody are even sweeter than they look and could not be more genuine. I'm blessed to work with such incredible people and must say it's clients/friends like these that make me love my job so dearly. I had a blast at their wedding and loved catching up with many of our old college friends. Neely and I were both Kappas at Tech and her mom was actually my pre-school teacher!! There is nothing better than a beautiful fall wedding with two lovebirds like this. Thanks for sharing!

Lindsey + Jackson, the wedding.

Lindsey and Jackson are one of those couples you look at and basically wish you could know. They are fun, obviously beautiful, but most importantly unconditionally kind. I can't even tell you how many times working with Lindsey, she asked me what I needed or what she could do to help me. You know you've hit the jackpot with a bride when she genuinely wants you to be comfortable and happy on HER wedding day. It's obvious where these two learned their "good home training", as both sets of parents are just as sweet. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in this case, and I enjoyed getting to know their families throughout the wedding festivities as well. I can honestly say, this is one of those weddings that just gives you a warm fuzzy all over. A big thanks to the team at College Flowers for preparing such a wonderful event!! Please meet and fall in love with the new Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Nahoum. Best wishes to a long life full of happiness and love. Cheers!

Whitney + Katrina

There isn't a more perfect way to ease back into the swing of things than with a small intimate home-style wedding. I was excited when my friend and fellow photographer Meghan contacted me to take pictures at her brother, Whitney's wedding a couple of weeks back. This couple's love for each other is so evident and their excitement was contagious. They had loved ones speak throughout the ceremony and give testimonies on both Whitney and Katrina's behalf, which really gave me insight as to how special this union truly was! Best of luck to this adorable couple in the future, and thanks for allowing me to share in your wedding moment.

Jenea + Caleb

This wedding holds a special place in my heart, as I've known Jenea for years. I was beyond thrilled when she asked me to photograph her wedding, as I knew how magnificent it would be. Jenea and her wedding team did not disappoint. Between this fabulous bride, her sweet mom, and the amazing wedding coordinator, Shannon Schultz, this event really set the bar. The entire day was such a blast & since I knew most of her bridesmaids it was a treat to hang out with old friends!! Who doesn't love a classic church wedding followed by a lovely reception full of fabulous food & fun?! The reception took place at the Worthington Renaissance Hotel in downtown Ft. Worth, and was adorned with the most elegant & tasteful decor.  A special thanks to Amy-Rose King Photography for second shooting, and always teaching me new tricks along the way. Jenea and Caleb you are a magnificent couple and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you. Happy Honeymoon!!

Megan + Michael, the wedding.

As promised, here is Megan & Michael's beautiful wedding recap. The two loyal Aggie alumni got married on January 14th in College Station, where they met and fell in love. They've gone full circle  and have now tied the knot in the town that served as the perfect backdrop for their relationship- I can't think of a sweeter start for a precious marriage. If you didn't see yesterday's post, check it out to get the back story on these two. I'm going to let the pictures do the talking on this one. Oh, and a huge thanks to my friend & second shooter Brittany Jones. We had a great road trip across Texas (minus getting pulled over and somewhat lost) and I'm so grateful she was available to help with this beautiful day. Enjoy!

Caroline + Jerad, the wedding

This wedding was a photographer's dream come true. Simply put it was chic, elegant, and classic from start to finish. Caroline and her adorable mom did a fantastic job planning this wedding and every detail literally had me "ewwwing and ahhing". The bride actually bedazzled her shoes with rhinestones, one by one, now that's attention to detail. Amy-Rose and I were slightly obsessed. Caroline and Jerad are one of those couples who even when the camera isn't on them, are completely immersed in one another. I had to literally drag them off the dance floor to get a few fun images at the reception (for which they were total sports!!). Truly October 22nd was one of those days where the stars aligned; a bride I adore, a totally classic setting, and my absolute favorite second shooter, Amy-Rose King. I may refer to her as my second shooter for some weddings, but let's not kid ourselves.... Amy-Rose is seriously the most amazing friend and mentor I could ever ask for. In fact most of the awesome shots involving flash below are compliments of Amy-Rose. She is teaching me new tricks and I love her for that!! The weekend was a blast and our road trip to Dallas was full of fun. We even had a chance run-in with fellow photographer Linda Schilberg in Sweetwater! It's a small world, and I'm thankful for that. If it wasn't for this small world Caroline & I would have never met and I would have never gotten to photograph this amazing event. A big thanks to everyone involved. I hope you all enjoy, I know I did!!

Amy-Rose & I looking slightly worn out by this point. There was a pretty commical montage leading up to this picture, but for the sake of appearing professional I limited it to just one.

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!!

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!
