Krystal's Bridal Session Museum of South Texas History | Edinburg, Texas

Marisol Roten January 23, 2014

I have been wanting to share with you Krystal and Mickey's mid-December wedding with you but I just realized earlier this evening that I had yet to share with you some of my favorites from the bridal session. Krystal hired me at the last minute before her wedding date… fourteen days before to be exact! We spent one weekend before the wedding taking care of her engagement and bridal session.

On a Saturday, a whole week before her big day, Krystal braved the very chilly weather and had her bridal portraits taken. The location we chose provided us with warmth and shelter to photograph indoors to prevent our bride from having to be cold. But like many of the brides I know, Krystal was up for anything - even photographing outdoors in the cold!

It was chilly, very chilly, and Krystal was such a trooper. We began her bridal session indoors throughout the lovely Museum of South Texas History in Edinburg, Texas. The staff were very friendly and the museum provided a lovely backdrop for our beautiful bride. Then, just before calling it a day, we explored the outside premises.

You are beautiful Krystal!

Krystal is my sorority sister from back in college and I had not seen her in a few years since I graduated. I am delighted that she and Mickey chose me as her wedding photographer because I got to see her walk down the aisle to the man of her dreams. Krystal you made a beautiful bride, congratulations!

Have a good night my friends.

Sophia + Rolando Quinta Las Palmas Wedding | Alamo, Texas

Marisol Roten November 19, 2013

I've been wanting to share this wedding for the past few weeks but I had been having trouble opening large files in my computer recently. Every time I tried to begin working on this blog post, my computer did not feel like working. Sigh, I suppose it just needed some rest...

I met Sophia and Rolando a few months ago and when I photographed them during their engagement session I learned a few tidbits about their relationship. They are romantically in love and have enjoyed dating for the past few years. Rolando proposed to Sophia late last year and over the past few months Sophia has spent planning her fairytale wedding.

Their wedding was held at a quaint reception place that I had never been to before. While hidden to the naked eye, it was a nice surprise to find in the little town of Alamo. Quinta Las Palmas served as the perfect backdrop for this late October wedding and I am delighted to have been a part of it.
