Matt and Emily have the sweetest relationship. I met them at Common Grounds one Sunday a.m. and basically just suggested places to sit and they figured the rest out. They are so tangibly in love you just know it’s right.

Somebody had the hiccups during this portion of the shoot. It was Emily.

Matt & Emily’s American Gothic. We are too poor in Waco to have accessories. It’s our truth.

Let it be known that Matt was an eagle scout and declared this entire area poison ivy free. No people were harmed.

You might be wondering, “Kathryn, did you get your silver award in girl scouts?” The answer is yes, yes I did. I surveyed this area and also determined it to be poison ivy free. Thank goodness for those badges.

Never underestimate the power of an overcast sky.

Citadel? No. Lighthouse? No. Medieval pier over a moat? Definitely not. Ladyhawk? Be honest, you don’t even know what that is. It is Waco – Waco in all her majesty.
