Sarah & James: A Cajun Wedding
Sarah & James: A Cajun Wedding I was super excited when I heard of all the cajun elements being brought into this very sweet and personal affair. Sarah’s family was excited to show James’ family our food and traditions. It started off at the crawfish boil the night before and extended out to the cajun band, the Daiquiri Queens that had the whole dance floor filled all evening.Sarah, her sisters, and her sweet dog Layla got ready in her grandmother’s hair salon that she had grown up in and it was the perfect way to start the day; followed by a Catholic Mass at Our Lady of Fatima, portraits at the Alumni House on UL’s campus with a beautiful reception at Cafe Vermilionville.

A Crawfish Boil Rehearsal Dinner
A Crawfish Boil Rehearsal Dinner I’ve photographed many many rehearsal dinners in my career but this one was just so sweet and unique I wanted to share.

Olivia & Tyler: Afton Villa Garden Engagement Portraits
On the day of Olivia & Tyler’s engagement portraits, we had a strange mix of eerie light. It was cloudy but sunny and it made for such a magical atmosphere.

This place is stunning and we’re lucky to have it so close to us.

A Galveston Beach Wedding: Published in I Do Y’all Magazine I was thrilled to hear that this Galveston Beach Wedding Editorial got published in I Do Y’all Magazine!

Who wouldn’t want to have a celebration dinner with that view? Enjoy!

A NOMA Bridals Editorial This project is very personal and close to my heart. I made these images because I had to, they had been living inside of me for too long. I made them for myself. I hope that they are inspirational to my current and future brides, especially those interested in NOMA Bridals, but mostly they’re inspirational to me.
