Melanie & Blake :: Dallas Wedding Photographer

Blake and Melanie celebrated their nuptials with two days of events – both equally unique and beautiful. Friday started with an intimate ceremony with close family and friends in the backyard of a family home. The scene was set with a bridge cascading over a creek on the property, horses, lots of mason jars, beautiful flowers put together by friends and family, tree lights, fajitas, heartfelt speeches and lots of love. Saturday followed with a fun, laid back reception at a ranch house in The Colony (just outside of Dallas). Yellow florals accented the tables alongside candles, mirror glass, bottles, succulents and more of those beautiful jars jars. And, don’t forget about those amazing cakes, real deal Dr. Pepper bottles, live music and dancing the night away. This was one of those weddings filled with so much love as the couple was surrounded with dear friends and family. Congratulations, Blake and Melanie!

The Cream Event, Austin :: Recap

Holy moly – we had such a blast at The Cream Event in Austin this weekend! On Sunday, Lauren (Blue Eye Brown Eye) and I hopped down 35 South headed to Austin for this event, so excited to get inspired by some of the most talented vendors in the industry. We sampled delicious goodies from several Austin vendors, sipped on handmade cocktails, took in the sites and danced the night away (literally – we won the dance off!). Shark Pig was on site to capture it all on video (not looking forward to seeing my robot moves on film!), The Flashdance DJ was spinning the hits and we finally got to see the amazing BHLDN pieces in person – stunning. Here are some highlights from The Cream Event in Austin.

Sweets from Bake Sale.

Items in the BHLDN boutique. Love that dress!


A beautiful tablescape from The Byrd Collective. Tiny cakes!

Love this table, too! The teal and orange are lovely.

The BHLDN fashion show was so fun! Since I’ve only seen these looks online, it was really great to see them up close and in action!

Handmade and shaken on the spot in these little jars, the Veev cocktails were so fresh and delicious!

So cute – Amanda Marie Photo and friends working it to The Flashdance DJ‘s jams!

Thanks to all The Cream Event vendors for putting together an unforgettable evening…especially Bash, Please!

Laura and Obinna :: Austin Engagement Session, Texas Wedding Photographer

There’s not enough room here for me to truly express my love for this couple! They are dear friends of mine and are absolutely perfect together. I could not be happier for the two of them as they start their journey towards their big day in July. Here are some of my favorite images from their engagement session that we shot in Austin in early December.

I’m too excited, so I’m just going to be obnoxious and share. In May, I’ll be shooting a wedding in………..
