Looking back over Jenny + Brett’s wedding photos makes me so thankful that I have a job that I love + clients I love even more! Brett + Jenny live in Corpus Christi, where Brett is a pilot, had their wedding at The Wild Onion Ranch, a truly stunning wedding venue just outside of Austin. Everything was so elegant! I loved Jenny’s Claire Pettibone dress! Jenny + Brett decided to do a ‘first look’ before their ceremony -so many sweet moments! And boy do these guys really know how to throw a party!! They surprised everyone (including me) by showing off some serious dance moves. What started out looking like two kids at a jr high prom dancing to the Titanic theme song quickly knocked everyones socks off with an abrupt stop to the music + going into a little swing dance number. They secretly took dance lessons before the wedding to surprise their friends + family. It was amazing!!! The night ended with a New Orleans ’second line’ style exit lead by the Matchmaker band (you should book them for your wedding – the are all sorts of awesome)!!

After spending the day in Houston with Fer, an amazing wedding photographer based in Mexico, for his workshop, I feel energized and inspired! It’s always interesting to see how other photographers work. I loved being able to play with new ways to see light and create a more dramatic image. We don’t always have time to get images like this on the day of the wedding, so I’m hoping to encourage clients to consider adding a day-after session to their wedding collections. It’s a great way to capture amazing images without the stress of the wedding day timeline! Please contact me to learn more about my day-after sessions!

Here are a few of my favorite engagement and wedding session images from the day. I admit, there are a few that make me so, so happy…in a “OMG, I freaking shot that!!” kind of way! I have to give a special nod to the In-Tandems, an amazing photography duo, who were our models for the day. They are the sweetest people and really rocked it in front of the camera.
