The Teravista Ranch House // Austin Wedding Venue
September 27
The Teravista Ranch House in Round Rock, TX is the sweetest venue for a cozy Texas-style wedding. The ladies of Sweet Sunday Events created a softer, more feminine, Texas ranch wedding, and I was overjoyed when they asked me to photograph their vision. If you’re looking for a beautiful ranch venue, check out The Teravista Ranch House, and if you’re looking for an amazing stylist & florist for your wedding day, look no further than Sweet Sunday Events.
Many thanks to the ladies of Style Me Pretty for featuring this wedding on their blog. XOXO ladies!

A little loveliness that’s coming your way in a few days. Beauty, light, and warmth. It just makes me so happy.
I’m sending a heartfelt thanks to the ladies of Style Me Pretty this morning, for featuring the photos from this wedding. See it here.
Here’s to making Mondays a bit more beautiful. Don’t take today for granted. XOXO
More England, Please!
June 26
Two of the BEST weeks of my life were spent in England with my husband this year. You can read more of my ramblings on our travels here: {Breakfast & Blogs} {English Countryside} {Happy London Birthday} {Streetside Fashion}
But, this post is dedicated to the styled editorial shoot I photographed while in the UK. *sigh* You know you love your work when you want to work on vacation. Truly, creating beautiful images fires me up in a way that nothing else can.
More England, please. :)
From the warmest place in my heart, I want to thank Abby and the Style Me Pretty team for featuring this shoot on their blog.
English Countryside Styled Shoot
June 6
My husband and I traveled to London earlier this year, and while we were there, I photographed an English countryside shoot. The photos just makes my heart beat faster–what a dream come true to photograph in such a beautiful place! You should have seen me at this shoot. I practically jumped up and down after every shot, squealed every other shot, and might have done a happy dance a time or two. Words can’t express how grateful I am that this shoot happened–honestly it almost didn’t.
Long before our trip, I reached out to stylist after stylist, but they either weren’t interested or simply didn’t respond. I was frustrated and time was ticking–but I was D E T E R M I N E D to photograph an English countryside styled shoot. Finally, the day came and we left for our trip with no concrete plans.
And then. Then a dream team came together a week before, and made this shoot HAPPEN! There’s a part of me that still can’t quite believe it! From the bottom of my heart, I want to hug and thank Jillian Manger + Naomi Kenton, the two main ladies who were responsible for making this shoot a reality.
There’s something about just a few images that stirs my heart. There are so many more beautiful images from this shoot, but for now I believe these six photographs together perfectly capture the essence of the day. I’ll be posting more small collections from this shoot in the days ahead.
I want to send the warmest thank you to Abby and her team at Style Me Pretty for featuring this shoot this morning. My heart is so full of gratitude. Xo.
Sunny & Jordan Shipley, Austin TX
March 15
Plans were coming together beautifully, and Sunny & Jordan were all set to get married last May. But just weeks before their wedding day, they were in a horrific car accident and Sunny broke her neck. Can you even imagine? Hard times–harder than words can describe–brought them closer than ever as they navigated the next few days and weeks. Despite the tragic accident, love always wins and they knew they wanted to go on with their wedding as planned. Sunny, by a miracle, was able to walk down the aisle without a neck brace, and they shared great joy on their wedding day. My heart resonates with their story. Love overcomes tragedy. Love grows stronger through it all.
Love never fails.
Sunny never had bridal portraits taken because of the accident, so I was thrilled when she contacted me for a bridal/couple session. I love her style and am genuinely proud of the classic, feminine feel to these photos.

Krista and Gavin were married this Saturday in the most beautiful sunset ceremony you could imagine. I couldn’t wait to share a few of her luminous bridal portraits with you. How beautiful is she?
Rachel, Getting Ready, Austin TX
January 9
Maybe it’s because I got married two and a half months ago, but I’m LOVING the sweet time at weddings when the bride is getting ready. Even that phrase speaks to me…getting ready. Getting ready to meet her groom. This state of joyful anticipation, yet calm serenity is one of my favorites to photograph.
I want to share another Getting Ready post with you today. Meet Rachel. She and her husband, Taylor, got married at The Winfield Inn just outside of Austin. Rachel carefully gave the special ladies in her life something to help with as she was getting ready. Her mom zipped up her dress, her grandmother put on her garter (you’ll LOVE those black & white images!), her sister put on her necklace, and so on. If you’re planning your wedding, I’d suggest doing something similar. It’s a special way to get your loved ones involved.
Rachel’s sister just had a baby, Liam, and you can tell Rachel is totally smitten with her new nephew!
Below on the right: This is SO one of my favorite photographs of the day. Rachel was officially on her way to walk down the aisle, and she gave this giant, excited smile. The joy on her face is beautiful, and I love the slight motion blur of the photo.
A few bridal portraits. Don’t you love that simple brick path? Um and her succulent bouquet?! :)
Wedding Shoes!
December 14
It’s no secret that I love photographing a bride’s shoes. I remember picking out my own wedding shoes earlier this year. My mom and I made such sweet memories shopping for understated flats that felt Audrey Hepburn-ish. It may seem small, but isn’t it the little things that make a big difference? :)
Here’s a collection of my favorite shoe shots from weddings this year.
Just for fun, I’d love to hear about your wedding shoes and how you found them. Join the conversation and leave a comment. :)
Audrey, Getting Ready, Huntsville AL

There is something purely amazing that happens when a girl gets ready for her wedding day. I’m currently in love with the idea of having a Getting Ready Party, complete with ladylike invitations and pretty loungewear.
Here’s Audrey as she prepares for her wedding day with her bridesmaids. The natural progression and emotion of these photos make me happy.
