San Juan Texas Wedding Photography — JOURNAL

Marissa and Greg were married in the middle of April and I had anxiously been wanting to share her bridal photos since before the wedding day. Then wedding season went into full mode for me and blogging took a definite back seat to my workload. The worse part, my computer was pretty much inaccessible for so long with all this house remodeling that I just couldn't find the time or the energy to sit down quietly and prepare these images to blog. I finally found my laptop last week and began working on some beautiful blog posts to share with you. So today, after the floor has finally been installed in my office, I have an empty room with a semi-clean desk and my computer. I can finally blog comfortably again!

So without further ado, here are some of my absolute favorites from Marissa's bridal session in early April. Marissa chose the Villa de Palmas located in San Juan, Texas as the backdrop for her session and I couldn't have picked a better place. It was my first time visiting the private residence and I absolutely fell in love with it. The home, available for event and photography rental, is classic and a breath of fresh air here deep in South Texas.

Marissa had her sister and close friend join us for the session and the four of us women got to learn a little more about each other while enjoying a lovely spring evening. We literally took a stroll throughout the property and admired Marissa in all her bridal beauty. Sometimes I think bridal sessions are my favorite. Sometimes I think engagement sessions are my favorite. Then, sometimes I think the wedding days are my favorite. Ha... I think I just really love my job and all things wedding photography related!

You are beautiful Marissa!

More on Marissa's wedding day soon. Have a great Friday friends!

When I shared Krystal and Mickey's engagement photos back in early December, I may have mentioned that they had literally hired me for their wedding two weeks prior to their date. Believe it or not, this does not beat the record… I once had a bride hire me on a Thursday evening before her Saturday afternoon wedding! Krystal and Mickey planned a lovely wedding filled with lovely details, lots of love, and plenty of family and friends. I am delighted and honored that they chose me to photograph their celebration and it should be noted that it was a great wedding to end the 2013 season.

From the getting ready process until the fun-filled reception, this couple truly made me feel like more than a wedding vendor. I am so humbled to have such lovely and caring clients; Krystal and Mickey were no exception. This couple had a wedding filled with overjoyed hearts of guests so excited to see them wed. After a few years of dating, the newest Mr. and Mrs. are well on their way to living their very own happily ever after.

Krystal and Mickey, thank you so much for hiring me as your photographer. More importantly, thank you for making me feel just like one of your guests. You were exceptional to work with and I am delighted to have been able to document such an important moment in your lives. I wish you both a lifetime of health, love and happiness. On a side note, a big thank you to one of my summer 2014 brides for the highest of recommendation that secured me this last minute wedding… Thank you Vanessa!

Have a great week friends!
