Ryan & Tracy {Married!}

Almost Legal: Shannon & Stuart {Engaged!}

Nothing will come between these two lawyers! -Well except maybe their opposing rival alma maters, but besides that they are perfect for eachother!!

Celebrating a late summer wedding these two wanted to capture the things that they love most- so we covered all the bases from the courthouse to the seaside! Enjoy this wonderful couple and all the fun we had…photo shoots make for an awesome date night! {Note to brides: always entice your groom with steak and drinks to follow a successful engagement shoot!!} Lol!

Tracy & Ryan….I Love and then some!! {E-session}

I am totally blogging backwards on this one! This spring has been crazy busy with mommies, newborns, and little ones in the studio, so I am just now getting Tracy and Ryan’s engagment shoot on the blog!:)

Tracy and Ryan have a beautiful history together, and they have four living testaments to their love and devotion to eachother! So we definitely had to make sure that we incorporated the whole family into their wedding experience from start to finish!

Enjoy this beautiful couple and amazing family…the wedding is getting ready to hit the blog next!!

Chris & Celeste {Married!}

Married at the historic Sacred Heart Church in downtown Corpus Christi, Celeste & Chris celebrated an amazing day among family and friends. The reception was held at the Courtyard At Gaslight Square- Corpus Christi’s romantic gem! An evening of laughter, dancing, live music {even a song sung by the bride to her groom!} and dare I mention it: BACON flavored cupcakes with bacon sprinkles for the groom’s cake! So many personal touches at this wedding, which celebrated the creative streak shared by this couple- including a guest thumbprint tree! It was wonderful to share in Celeste & Chris’s most amazing day- the beginning of so much to come for this great couple!

Kaylee {Bridals}

Kaylee jumped every imaginable hurdle to finally get to this bridal session a week before her wedding- from rain-outs to family crisis, we bumped up the date 3x, but we persevered and I am grateful for her calm patience and trust!! All I can say of the session itself is WOW!! Everything turned out amazing and since we share the same vintage couture loves, the session styling and location plans turned out to be one of my all time faves. Gorgeous hair and makeup provided in studio by Josh Salinas of Josh & Co. played up the vintage styling. Little details like the “I Do” crystals under her shoes and a last minute decision to rob our studio manichan of a vintage red hat added just the right touch of whimsy and a unique pop.

Our careful shooting plan started at Heritage Park, followed by a fabulous grassy field and culminated in a roadside wildflower patch (which was mowed the next day!!!). Proof that an extravagant location is not necessary to truly create something stunning! Look for her wedding on the blog soon- for now enjoy these gorgeous bridals!

Philip & Vanessa {Married} 02.25.12

Vanessa {Bridals}

Vanessa is one of a kind- vivacious, bubbly and with red hair to match her bold personality!! We have been working together for a year and I had the joy of sharing in her wedding day moments as she became Mrs. Philip Nisbet this past Saturday- Feb. 25th.

It was during our very first consult over a year ago that Vanessa was explaining her wedding color scheme of pink and chocolate that I let slip a little smidge of fun: “why don’t you dye your petticoat pink”. Now I saw this in a bridal mag about 5 years ago and have been ever since hoping I could sweet talk a bride into adding a splash of color under her white gown. And Vanessa was the first bride who didn’t look at me like I had two heads!:) Haha….it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship!! Ya’ll know I LOVE a bride who can bring creativity and something “new”. She didn’t disapoint either!! Her dressmaker custom designed a new pink tulle crinoline that was a gorgeous rosy pink and a fun twist on tradition!!

Vanessa also had her heart set since day 1 of doing her bridal portraits in historic Goliad, TX at Presidio La Bahia. It all came together beautifully and we had such a blast- and we could’t have asked for a more perfect day!!

Congratulations Vanessa & Philip!! Enjoy a sneak peek at these gorgeous bridal portraits!
