Jill and Wade's wedding was a beautiful celebration of their love, held at a truly magnificent old ranch/plantation in the tiny little town of Egypt, Texas.

How beautiful is this bride?

Under the shade of the big trees on the ranch, Jill and Wade said their vows.

This ranch is very special to Jill, specifically this old wooden house. She chose to have their portraits taken all around the ranch, and we were so happy. There were so many photos of them, we had a hard time selecting which to show here on the blog!

Why yes, those ARE custom bobbleheads!

Jill and Wade - we had a great time getting to know you both and we wish for you so many wonderful things as you live your life together!

Friends and family, we invite you to view Jill and Wade's gallery and sign their guestbook to leave them your best wishes!

We've missed a few anniversaries the past few months, but I'm back to my blog calendar and I'm happy to be sharing the news that one of our favorite couples celebrated their one-year anniversary this past weekend!

On this past Saturday morning, Luke and I were eating breakfast and drinking water (no, not coffee, as we've slacked off nowadays) and I said, "This time last year we were so excited for Katie and Drew's wedding that we got ready and went on in to Houston 2 hours early." That's true! The day of Katie and Drew's wedding, we were so excited it might as well have been Christmas morning.

Among a million other memories from their wedding day, here are a few of my favorites!

1. One of the most fun groups of people ever! It makes our job so much fun when we get to hang out with a wedding party that is just as excited to be at the wedding as we are. Katie and Drew's buddies were the bomb!

2. Amazing families. Both Katie and Drew come from really incredible families. It was so special for us to get to know everyone and understand the reason that Katie and Drew are both such caring people. This picture of Katie and her parents is our favorite family 'formal' (not formal, right!) ever!

3. These guys. It's hard to begin to explain, but Katie and Drew have become some of our best friends. It's so funny to me that K&D, some of our best friends now, originally just started out as names in an e-mail that they sent through the contact form on our website. I'm SO glad that we got to know this couple, I'm glad that our dogs have played with their dog, I'm glad that they tell me all the cool places in Austin so I'm not such a country bumpkin, I'm glad that I've had breakfast at their table cooked in Drew's favorite cast iron skillet. We love you guys!

Last month we got to hang out with Kelly and Derek and shoot their engagement photos. These two are very much in love and so much fun to be around. On top of that, they really went the extra mile to put lots of thought into bringing unique and meaningful things along to include in their photos. I love that!

This is one good looking couple! :)

Kelly and Derek brought along some things to make this really personal to them. They are big fans of Nicolas Sparks books, they like to relax and just spend time together, and Derek brings out his guitar and serenades his lovely wife to be. I felt like we were out on a little date!

Kelly and Derek, you are so much fun! We can't wait for your wedding this summer!

For this shoot we shot both digital and film.
