I'm excited to share some more images from Part 2 of my "Sweet November" styled shoot. This half we shot a gorgeous Champagne and Blush bridal gown by Rachelle Appelle. It looks amazing on Melanie's skin tone & goes so well at the Vineyard. Mike & Melanie are so sweet together. The sun set pretty fast and it quickly became an overcast evening. I do love the soft light the clouds give off. Im so thankful for my team who all trusted and supported me on this shoot. Y'all rock! I cant wait for all the fun 2020 has in store!

When November rolled around I knew I wanted to do a gorgeous fall vineyard shoot. It had been on my radar for quite some time. I was inspired by the warm tones of fall, Topaz/Citrine, Chrysanthemums and of course I wanted Terra-cotta to be part of the tablescape.  My floral dreams came true also with this to die for floral hat!  I was set on a bridal pant suit for Jen & paired it with this rust suit for Kara as I wanted to keep her a bit on the feminine side as well.  
We had such a fun a great time with Jen & Kara at the Vineyard.  The Hospitality was wonderful too.  I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK IN THE SPRING!

As a huge Game of Thrones fan, I couldn't resist creating a styled shoot based off one of my favorite shows! It had left me completely inspired. I remember watching the show and fell in love with one of Daenerys looks from Season 5. It immediately just screamed "BRIDE!" in my mind and from there the shoot took off. There is so much beauty in this series I wanted to make sure I did it justice. From all of the rich tones & textures to the amazing locations. I made sure to shoot in a real Castle that felt as if we were in Westeros! Another main focus was how regal Daenerys is & of course her Dragons. I had to make sure her styling was not too cosplay in your face & the bouquet was of epic portions fit for a Queen. I really wanted to mimic her cape gown & do away with the veil to showcase her hair. All the little details began to follow. From our awesome authentic grooms cloak, dragon scale cake also the amazing paper details. Also who could forget a Dire Wolf?!
Huge thank you to all my Vendors who made this dream come true!

Wow. I don't even know where to start! I host my first ever styled elopement shoot! It was such a blast! I am just so amazed how my vision came to life! It feels like the stars aligned and everything came together so well. From my amazing vendors and team to all the small details. I cant describe how it feels to see everyone work so well together and seeing everyones beautiful art! What a dream! 

My vision for this shoot was a woodland storybook fairytale with hues of deep reds, blush and green. I took inspiration from fantasy stories such as Beauty & the Beast, Snow White, with vintage vibes & moody glam.  I fell in love with this gorgeous moon gate at Star of Texas bed and Breakfast and knew this was the place. It was one of my main focuses for the shoot. Early Blooms and Things knocked it out of the park with their bouquet and the greenery we dressed the moon gate with! We also got to stay and use the amazing Wildrose cottage. Can we take a minute to take about this cake?! I just couldn't believe what a masterpiece Ashton Marie Cakes had made! Write This Way Calligraphy did a phenomenal job with the calligraphy details for this shoot!  I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! I am already planning my next shoot! Specials thanks to all my vendors who made this shoot possible!

I had the pleasure of joining in on this AMAZING, TO DIE FOR stylized elopement shoot with Jessie Shaw! We ventured out to the GORGEOUS Enchanted Rock State Park. I have been wanting to visit this park ever since we moved to Texas & my dreams have finally come true! It was everything I thought it would be! Although we only shot for about 1-2 hours, I know this park has MUCH more to offer. We are already planning our next trip out to fully enjoy this amazing landscape! From location to all the fine tuned details, this shoot was truly a dream! I had so much fun meeting some new photog friends and venturing together!
​THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
