The Miller Wedding – Houston, TX

Scott and Mary’s disco wedding, in their words…

“Weddings tend to be all about the dad and daughter relationship – my dad passed away 10 years ago and we were incredibly close. All I knew was that I didn’t want to spend my wedding day crying about how much I missed him, so we decided to focus on fun and us. 

One of my favorite lines is ‘start as you mean to go on’ – so we wanted our wedding to speak to that. We went through all the traditions we see at weddings and realized we didn’t really want any of that! We wanted all of our people to be together, with us, as much as possible that weekend, so we opted for all of our closest friends to get ready in the same house – it was the best decision we made to hang out together all day and to walk down the aisle together. 

Scott’s mom is the disco QUEEN, and my dad loved Hawaiian shirts, so we started with just wanting some tropical and some disco incorporated into our decor…  but quickly decided that all-out disco theme from the dress code, to the music, to the decor, and even the getaway VW Van was the way to go!”

Jager and Alyssa! Jager and I went to college together and had not seen each other since. It was a true honor to reconnect because he wanted me to document his wedding. It was such a lovely day in Austin!

Paul + Natalie in NOLA! I’ve been photographing weddings for almost 14 years and somehow this was my first wedding in New Orleans. What a blast with such a fun crew of people, including some old friends of mine from high school who I had not seen since 2004!

A blurb on the day, in Paul’s words: “Prior to 2020, it would be atypical to be engaged for 30 months, but ‘typical’ does not describe these times, nor does it describe us. We waited a long time to have our day, and it was unapologetically ‘Natalie & Paul’. From the first look to the last dance we had the time of our lives, and we will remember it each moment we look into each other’s eyes and say ‘I love you’.”

A batch of favorites from a double-exposed black & white roll (tri-x 400) on the Nikon One Touch. These are some of my favorites ever!

“The only word to describe everything was perfect. No better feeling than being supported by people you love most. The ceremony could not have been more charming, the reception more entertaining, and my wife more lovely. I’m certainly the luckiest man.” – Ethan

“Brent and I’s love story began in a place where thousands of stories live – the library. We met during finals week at The University of Oklahoma, where we both returned to the same ‘secret’ spot of the library for a week straight. After a week of exchanging glances, we eventually worked up the nerve to speak to each other. We both knew from the start that we had found something special in each other.

After 5 years together, ‘library boy’ and I were married on October 23, 2021. We wanted our wedding to be an intimate, intentional, and fun day with our loved ones. The day was pure magic. From being married under the star-painted ceiling at All Saints Church to the cozy reception at The Manor House, to the rainbow that appeared after the storm during cocktail hour…we couldn’t stop smiling all day.

We are incredibly thankful for the amazing vendors who helped us pull this day off, and feel so grateful to be surrounded by such loving and supportive friends and family.”
