We all enjoyed this engagement session. What a pretty winter day!

At Research Park, we had a lot of light filtering through the leafless tree branches.

We just had to stop by the famous Century Tree for the obligatory image!

Then, we were off to the “scene of the crime” where the proposal took place!

Thank you both for a lovely session! I wish you a wonderful wedding and a beautiful life together.

Hannah & John Bragg-Perez took a risk when they selected a January wedding date and wanted the formal photography made in the local park alongside the Comal river. But, Hannah wanted a Christmas wedding and was willing to take her chances. With unpredictable Texas weather, they got a beautiful spring-like day!

the brides family

Family “tradition” dictates that Roy, father of the bride, will escort his youngest kids down the aisle when they are too timid to go on their own. Here, he is carrying his eldest grandchild, Alex.

The beautiful day shined down upon the couple.

After the ceremony, we went outside for just a couple of shots while guests made their way over to the reception. I got these fun “spinning” images of Hannah. She loved the idea and was cracking up the whole time!

Now introducing, Mr. & Mrs. John & Hannah Perez!

We put all the kids on a train car for a great photo opp. Of course, most of them are too little to see over the seats!

And then, we put the entire wedding party on the car, too!

Hannah is holding the newsest member of the family, her niece, Caroline.

Hannah’s cousin, Maegan, brought note cards and encouraged guests to write notes and draw pictures. It was a blast to see all the funny things people said, like, “She’s Always Right!” and “Sometimes it is fun to sleep on the sofa, just never when they tell you to.” and “John, housework is your job, too.” Funny, there weren’t so many telling Hannah how to be a good wife….hmmmmmm……

One Czech tradition is the Grand March. Charles and Elain have been leading the Grand March for this family for years! The Grand March led into the couple’s first dance, surrounded by family and friends

While the bride and her father danced to an oldie, family and friends “she bopped” in the background!


Another Czech tradition is the Redovy (or Dollar Dance) where guests by a small shot of wine or whiskey and then dance briefly with the bride or groom. The songs just keep playing until no one is in line anymore. Its exhausting for the bride and groom, but gives them the chance to dance with everyone at the wedding and gives them a little extra honeymoon money.

Allison & Dominic LaRocca-Der Tatevasion had a special and beautiful ceremony and reception in Bryan, Texas. They were surrounded by family and friends and tons of love and support.

A very tender moment occurred when Allison’s dad, who grew up traditional Church of Christ and had never danced before, gave his daughter the gift of a father-daughter dance at her wedding.

Danielle wanted photos in their guest book, but also wanted a traditional look. Her idea translated quite well to give her a traditional product (makes mom happy) with a modern edge (makes bride happy).

oh so sweet!

one of my favorites of them

playing at the park and splash pad was So. Much. Fun.

before the full soaking

this was everyone’s favorite image…and just had to be saved for last

based on the size of the guest list and guests behaviors at showers—where many let their kids sign their own names—we felt the need for some blank “lines only” pages and included a few of these in the back of the book.

In the early spring, I had the fabulous opportunity to shoot not only Amanda’s bridals, but also her with the groom’s son. It was a wonderfully amazing shoot that produced some truly funny moments. As you can see, Dylan is a bit of a ham. His energy kept us all laughing and smiling all afternoon!
