It has been over a month since I shot super-cutie Katie's bridal session. Unfortunately for us, she had already booked her wedding photographer when she found us, but we still got to shoot her bridals. She just got married this weekend (Congratulations, Katie!!), so now we can reveal her fun, colorful bridals! Yay!
The location is The Antique Rose Emporium, which has a special place in my heart because I got married there in January. It is such a perfect location! Bright colors, unpretentious landscaping, fun architecture. If you are looking for a wedding location or just a cool place for a session, I highly recommend it. And no, they aren't paying me to say that :) Here are a ton of my favorites from her session.

Beautiful morning sunshine :)


How AWESOME is her veil?! It was her grandmother's! I couldn't get over how cool it is. This might be my fav!


Totally lovin' the bright colored bouquet. Adds "pop" to all the photos!






Or is this my favorite? Hmmm...

Work it Katie!

Kaylinn's Favorite :)

We had a blast shooting Adrienne and Bill's wedding this weekend at Canyon Springs. They held the ceremony at the waterfall. When I heard "waterfall" I was expecting a little trickle, but it is was huge, such a gorgeous place to get married.
Adrienne and Bill are such a sweet, beautiful couple. They interact together so well and were so fun to shoot. Thanks for including us in your big day!
Their friends had been blog stalking us and knew just what to do to make the photos awesome. We have had such a hard time narrowing down to our favorites :) There they are...ALL of them. Dig in! Don't forget to check out the slideshow.

Lovin' their green details.

Coolest bridesmaids - ever! Ham it up :)

Work it girls! Thanks Veronica for finding this awesome spot :)










How incredibly handsome are these guys?




Our competition :) He's got a great angle.




We often get asked if we do "traditional" family portraits...why yes, we do!!

Thanks Adrienne and Bill for an amazing day! Hope you're having fun in Playa!

On Sunday morning, I hung out with Amber & Mac for their engagement session. We decided to do the session in Castroville - which is am AMAZING place for portrait sessions!! To our future brides/grooms: if you're trying to figure out where to go for your engagement session, DEFINITELY consider Castroville. There's an amaaazing mix of urban, country, cutesy, and greenery... I can honestly say it's my faaaavorite place to shoot now!!

OK, so back to Amber & Mac... these two were a BLAST! I knew to expect a crazyfun couple when Mac asked if he could wear animal-print speedos to the session in our initial phone consult. Ha! Then, within 1 minute of getting out of the car, Mac poured me a morning mimosa....GREAT first impression, Mac! :)  What a way to kick off the morning. Here are my favorites from their session. Enjoy. :)

How cute are Amber's shoes and Mac's graphic-T?






Mac is a native Texan and Amber is originally from Florida. When Mac spotted this Texas flag, he insisted on using it in the background! I guess this makes it official, Amber...You're a hardcore Texan now. :)

Amber's eyes = GORGEOUS! How was I supposed to choose between these shots? Impossible...










Mac wanted a "jumping" shot, so here you go!! :) It's one of my favorites from the session... I have to thank Mac for being willing to jump like 10 times to be sure we got it right. I don't think his boots were too happy with me.


Again with the eyes... LOVE IT!


YAY for bright colors!!


Amber & Mac are parents to 3 AWESOME dogs. Sasha, Jeb, and Trigger. They brought them along for a "family" photo. :) Sasha and Trigger were crazycool... but.. Jeb officially won my heart. Isn't he the COOLEST?! I'm so jealous!!!!! I wanted to take him home with me at the end of the session... but I resisted the urge. :)

Yesterday, I hung out with my friend Amanda and her adorable kids Christian, age 7, and Faith, 22 months. Amanda's husband, Bobby, was the minister at our wedding in January. We absolutely loved having someone who knows us perform the ceremony. They are such an awesome family. Chris and I can only hope that we will be such cool parents to our children someday. We played in the sprinkler in their backyard and then went to Helotes for a little shopping. Of course, I brought along my camera to capture the fun :)  Here are my favorites from the day.

First up...Little Miss Faith :) Beautiful and yet somehow she is the spitting image of her daddy.

Don't you just want to pinch her cheeks. Happy baby!!!



Laughing baby, rainbow shirt...Yes, please!!

Introducing Christian. Say cheese!


Faith, in her crazy cute bedroom. For these last few, I tested out our fancy new lighting set up. What do you think?! Cool, huh?


I think he was pretty excited that I WANTED him to jump on the bed :)

I guess Faith was tired :)

This is my favorite, favorite, favorite. I wish I had photos like this of me and my brother. Print it up BIG Amanda!!

 
I told you they were cool. This green couch is in their living room!
