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!

It was so much fun to reconnect in person with Jon-Mark and Bobbi for the first time since their epic wedding in Charleston in 2018. They moved to the Austin area in 2020 where they work remotely while also doing an amazing renovation on what they’ve named The Bardominium. We’ve enjoyed following along, so it was special for me to see it and crash in the loft that I watched them transform. Bobbi and I are both due with baby girls within weeks of each other, and I loved wandering around their Spicewood property to capture this season for them. And, of course, meeting the donkeys was a real treat.

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

The Dougherty fam. I shot Tom and Lauren’s wedding 10 years ago and was thrilled to have them back in front of the camera with their boys in tow.

“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.”
