… make sure they are old enough to use it without cutting themselves.


I LOVE this shot of Jessica screaming at her girls on her way to her First Look.

Chesley & Andy are one of my most favorite couples I have ever photographed.  They are super kind and have such great hearts I loved being there with them on their 1st day of their marriage.

Bella Sera Ranch, a terrific place to get married.


If you remember their engagement session you know these two love food.  I was not surprised to find a nice little table of sweets.

Custom root beer bottles?  Of course.  (Get your own here.)

Pennies are a big deal to Chesley & Andy.  They have collected them, traded them and even have a fireplace decorated with them.  I knew I wanted to work them into their ring shot somehow.

A rainy First Look.
Loved the different dresses and shoes.

One of the guys forgot his shoes so he had to go buy some last minute.  We all pointed and made fun of him.

Loved this moment between Andy & Chesley’s niece.

Speaking of the little people.  How off the wall cute are these two.  (She kept showing me her grapes.)

Lots and lots of dancing thanks to CMB DJs.

The Mug Machine was also there in full force.  Check back Monday for those photos.

This past Sunday I shot my first wedding at Bella Sera Ranch and I loved it.  I can’t wait to get back there.  (Yes, I’m looking at you Chesley & Andy).  Anyway, all you brides out there in the Palestine/East Texas area really should go out and take a look.  They have an amazing venue.  Here is a shot of their historic style Chapel.


Christa brought plenty of blingdom to the day.

A few from their First Look.

They read their vows off their phones & after the minister pronounced them man and wife they updated their Facebook status to married. :)

As always, CMB DJs did an amazing job.

You two were so much fun.  Thanks for trusting me with your day.
