Here is little preview of a bridal session I did this week. The entire post will come in a couple of weeks, once this lovely lady is married. Truth be told, this is not a bayou, but it makes me feel like I am in the deep South. Have a great weekend everyone!

Katelin was married yesterday at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, TX. Though rain threatened to ruin the day, her coordinator set up the event outside during light showers in the hopes that the sun would come out. As fate would have it, just as Katelin and Blake were saying their vows, the cloud cover broke and the most beautiful evening light shone on them while they committed their lives to one another. Katelin is so beautiful just in general but especially in spirit. It was good and right that her dream of being married outside came to pass. It was my great joy to be a part of her wedding day. We had so much fun getting to know one another during her bridal session at Laguna Gloria and here are the favorites. The images from the wedding are stellar and I so look forward to sharing them here. Until then, here is the lovely Katelin.

Sam and Courtney are one of those couples that everyone loves. Their engagement was widely celebrated and the wedding will be an event of so much love and excitement. I have had the privilege of knowing Sam and Courtney separately during different seasons of my life – including during and post college. They are two of the most sincere, genuine, and joyful people you will ever meet. The pairing couldn’t be more perfect.

Dagen & Avery are the sweetest couple. They have a kind of vintage relationship that is full of romance and charm. For instance, Dagen has loved Avery since they were in high school, though dating did happen until college. Their freshman year the two could often be found skipping class and spending their afternoons in this lovely field of wildflowers walking, reading, and generally falling in love. Dagen has made Avery a quilt and a wooden bench (coming in part 2) from scratch as gifts. And *my favorite part* once Dagen knew he wanted to marry Avery, every time he found a bobby pin on the ground he would pick it up, ask God if he could marry her, and keep the tiny pin. He gave Avery the box of bobby pins when they got engaged. Romantics never cease to make my heart glad. Dagen and Avery – I am so honored to be a part of your wedding journey.

The dress Avery is wearing was her grandmother’s. Avery said that in the 70s her mother and grandmother shared this dress and now it is hers. :)

Karenna is a senior at Baylor. She is so full of energy and excitement and gratitude. As the first member of her family to go to college, her attitude about being in school refreshed me and warmed my heart. Everyone in her family chipped in to get her a class ring and the love she has for her family members just radiates whenever she talks about them. She will go on to complete her PhD at Baylor and Waco is lucky to have her!
