Hill Country Weddings — JOURNAL

Briannah + Matt

It is a lovely grey and rainy day in my current hometown of Edinburg, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley. With such grey weather, I thought it would be a great day to share Matt and Briannah's engagement session from last month in the Texas Hill Country. We were not wishing for rain, but we definitely were prepared and anticipating it. Texas had been full of sunshine but in true Texas form, the weather switched gears instantly. Ha!

No matter, I had a sweet time getting to know a little more about Briannah and Matt's relationship as we explored Matt's family ranch. Perhaps I am biased, being a Texan and all, but I sure do love the Texas landscape and cowboys.Matt and Briannah made lovely subjects to document on the rugged hill country terrain.

Also, as a side note, riding in their really cool and big Texas truck over the hills and through the rivers, F-U-N!!!

Congratulations Briannah and Matt on your engagement. I am humbled to be chosen as your photographer. Briannah, it was a pleasure to finally meet Matt. I wish Briannah and Matt a lifetime of happiness and an exciting season in planning their upcoming wedding. I look forward to documenting such a beautiful and important day.

Happy Wednesday friends!

I didn't get to meet Catie until the day of her wedding but seconds after seeing her lovely smile it felt like I had met her before. After email and phone conversations, it was awesome to put a lovely face to her sweet and charismatic voice. I felt very welcomed when I arrive at the Flying T Ranch outside of Austin, Texas. Catie's wedding involved a lot of do it yourself projects and it was great to see so many of her friends and family so willing to help put her dream day together.

Catie and Austin, I since learned, met each other at camp and eventually began dating. Both of them have a deep love for the Lord and it was beautiful to seem them worship during their marriage ceremony. With a recent college graduation, Catie and Austin decided to embark on the next step of their lives and join together in marriage. I was chosen to photograph their lovely September wedding and couldn't have been happier to meet them.

The two of them are honestly so gushingly sweet to watch interact and are very much in love with one another. During their prayer time before the ceremony, Austin was blindfolded and couldn't visually see his beautiful bride. Together they prayed and were so eager to get their life together started. This was truly a beautiful wedding to be a part of.

Catie and Austin, thank you for allowing me to document your wedding day. I wish you every blessing in your marriage!
