TABATHA AND JAKE: COUNTRY GIRL + COUNTRY BOY: LA TRANQUILA RANCH WEDDING IN TOMBALL, TX

The bridal party danced down the aisle to one of country musics hottest songs right now, "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)."  I had to stop myself from dancing!!  It was without a doubt the perfect song selection for this couple.  F. U. N.!  When the music stopped all eyes were on one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen.  Tabatha was stunning walking down the aisle arm in arm with her Father.  Jake could not have looked happier as he waited to take her hand.

From the first moment I met Tabatha and Jake I knew that they were fun.  They love one another, they love life and they love to have fun.  Tabatha can rock platform heels (while navigating the railroad tracks) or cowboy boots effortlessly.  When I worked with them in February during their engagement session I knew immediately that their wedding would be nothing short of fantastic.  Both were easy going, up for anything and down to earth.  They are one of those couples that people are drawn to.  The kind of people you want to be around.

On September 4th they united themselves as husband and wife.  The wedding was nothing short of spectacular.  Carefully planned details, fun little touches that represent their personalities and love of the outdoors and a venue that fit it all perfectly.  Surrounded by their family and friends they exchanged vows then danced the night away.

Thank you for allowing me to be a party of your wedding day!

Here are some of my favorite photos...

These boots are fabulous.

Just before the First Look

I love when a couple decides to do a First Look before the ceremony.  It is such an intimate moment and allows for more time for formal portraits.

SCOTTISH TRADITIONS WEDDING: Willow Fork Country Club, Katy, TX

Intimate.  Romantic.  Simply Sweet.  These are a just a few words that would describe the wedding of Autumn and Chris.  On a hot and humid day in Texas they exchanged vows overlooking the beautiful Willow Fork Country Club in Katy.  It was picture perfect.

Chris kept with the traditions of his native Scotland and donned his kilt.  Autumn was stunning in a gorgeous knee length dressed highlighted with some of the most fantastic wedding shoes I've ever seen!  The ceremony was filled with words of love and wisdom from Rev. Rebecca Wilson.  Traditions from Scotland that were also present during the ceremony were the Oathing Stone and Pinning of the Tartan.

Surrounded by their dearest loved ones and friends they celebrated their union as husband and wife.  It was such a wonderful day and as the sun set over Texas.  Just before sunset we slipped away from the reception and headed down to the golf course to take a few more photos on the newly married couple.

Here are a few of my favorites from this lovely wedding.  Thank you Autumn, Chris and family for allowing me to be there to capture your day.  It was an honor!

L.O.V.E.... wedding cupcakes!

One of my favorite pictures from their Galveston engagement session was on display by the guest book.

I think is was perfect that Autumn selected a short dress.    It was ideal for the weather.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. LIFE IS SHORT. MAKE IT COUNT.

Earlier this year I was introduced to the Lanoux Family.  One of my previous clients wanted me to take pictures of her best friend and her family.  From the moment I met the Lanoux family I was in awe of them.  The kids were amazing and the love they showed to their mom was captivating.  They each blessed me in ways they will never know.  You see, Mindy was battling cancer and had been fighting for years.  But the day we took their photographs cancer was no where to be seen.  All you could see was love.  Love of family and love of friends.

Today God called Mindy to Heaven.  He has healed her and ended her suffering.  My thoughts and prayers go out to her husband, her children, her parents and family and her friends.  She fought hard to be here for the ones she loved and she fought with everything she had.

My prayers are with The Bryant and Lanoux families.

Life is beautiful.  Life is short.  Make it count.
