What happens when a winter storm arrives on your wedding day...

We make a few adjustments, find the beauty in the unexpected, and let the day unfold a little differently.

This lovely wedding at The Videre Estate in Wimberley took place during one of those Texas winter storms. The roads were icy. The weather was wild. And yet somehow, in the middle of it all, there was still so much beauty.

For couples planning a wedding in Wimberley, Austin, the Texas Hill Country, or Durango, Colorado, I photograph celebrations with a mix of candid observation and intentional direction—always leaving room for the beautifully unexpected.

Candids & intentionally posed — because photographs that happen completely in the moment are unique to you and your wedding celebration ✨

And then there are the photographs we intentionally create.

The ones where I gently guide you into beautiful light, give you a little direction, and let you settle into each other — so we can make those gorgeous portraits without losing the feeling of the day.

I’m definitely not here to pose you for hours or turn your wedding into a photoshoot. Not my style. I’m here to notice what’s happening, step in when a little guidance is needed, and step back when the moment is better left alone.

A wedding gallery should feel like you — some beautifully composed, some completely unexpected, and everything lovely in between ✨

P.S. I’m still thinking about the Mandola’s Italian gelato bar 💕🍨💕 Such a fun (and delicious) touch to their celebration!

How will you create beautiful photos that actually feel like us?

By listening, observing, and paying attention to the little things—the way you interact, the people you love, and the moments that happen naturally. My job is to notice those sweet details while allowing you the space to actually experience your wedding day.

Wedding photography can be a thoughtful mix of documenting, gentle guidance (if needed), a few intentional portraits, and all the delightful candids in between. Allowing enough time for those things to naturally unfold is one of the best things you can give yourself on your wedding day.

I’ve photographed so many weddings where, because of timeline constraints, the day becomes a rush from one thing to the next. Allow yourself more time than you think you need. Having a little extra breathing room can make all the difference between feeling rushed and feeling fully present.

A thoughtfully planned timeline allows space for the wonderful unexpected and unplanned moments, gives you room to actually enjoy the people around you, and helps your day unfold with ease.

So how will I create photographs that feel like you as a couple? I’ll prioritize a wedding day timeline that gives you room to relax, soak it all in, and celebrate the love that surrounds you. The most meaningful photographs happen when you’re fully present—laughing, connecting, and experiencing the day as it unfolds.

Little things that make me happy… ✨

People forgetting I’m there.

Wedding cake. The stolen glances. The loud laughter. The ch*****ne that gets everywhere—even on me. Haha. The dance moves that absolutely should not be photographed…but definitely should be.

The moments that aren't posed or perfectly polished, but are completely, wonderfully you.

There’s something about the formalities being over and everyone finally letting loose. The room gets louder, the dancing gets questionable, and the real moments start happening.

And honestly? It’s a whirlwind. And that’s what I love about it—the laughter, the movement, the emotion, and all the wonderfully unexpected little bits of happy chaos.

It takes a lot of imperfection to be this perfect... ✨

Is that how the saying goes? Or is it something like… the imperfect is perfect?

Well… this is me. Your photographer. Out in the wilderness shooting film… shooting digital… shooting instant film… shooting on my telephone… trying to capture a self portrait.

In a world of flawless self portraits and perfectly polished headshots, I'm giving you this.

Hair flying in my face. Smelling the flowers.

Self portraits may not be my cup of tea, but photographing other people? Now that brings me so much joy.

I love hearing people's stories. Their thoughts. What they love. Their history. All the little tidbits that make them... them. Or you… you.

I may not be fantastic at social media. How does one even make a reel?

I'll probably tell you a joke and forget the punchline.

I adore anything history related—reading it, listening to it, learning about it, all of it.

I love, love, love reading Eighteenth-century Gothic novels and wish I had more time to get lost in them.

I love looking through vintage photography books for inspiration—portraiture, documentary, all of it. Once upon a time I was studying to be a photojournalist…

I adore the joie de vivre of ch*****ne and cake, and Rococo art. The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard is my absolute favorite painting. The colors are so lovely, and I think the art of studying art is such a delight.

If you've made it this far, I'm impressed.

And honestly, I think it's kinda chic to remain somewhat of a mystery, so I'll stop boring you...

I'd much rather hear about you.

Tell me your stories. What do you love? What are you fascinated by? What little things make you wonderfully, unmistakably you?

Because that's the part I'm really interested in.

P.S. The green carnations are an ode to Oscar Wilde.

P.P.S. I see saying kinda chic… is kinda chic.

So perhaps it is kinda chic to take imperfect photographs of yourself. Which, in itself, is very chic, don't you think?

The quiet moments tucked between all the excitement. The Polaroid kiss you almost forgot happened because the day moves so quickly.

Your wedding day doesn’t have to be perfectly posed or perfectly planned to be beautiful.

That’s the romance of preserving the feeling of the day 🤍

For couples planning an Austin or Texas Hill Country wedding, I’m always looking for those in-between moments that make your story uniquely yours.

These weren’t just bridal portraits...

They were a pause in the middle of Janina’s wedding day—a chance to breathe, laugh, take in the magnitude of the day, and simply be present before the ceremony began.

I loved watching her move through these moments: the wind catching her veil, the laughter between photographs, the quiet beauty of her portraiture, and then the tenderness of being surrounded by the people she loves most.

Janina wiping away her mother’s tears.
Her flower girls beside her.
The laughter that eased the nerves.
The veil moving in the wind.

These are the pieces of a wedding day that I want to preserve—not only how a bride looked, but how it felt to be her in that moment.

Janina & Isaac’s Wimberley wedding was filled with so much beauty, connection, and genuine joy. And these bridal portraits became part of that story in a way that felt completely natural to the day.

There’s a quiet beauty in photographs that don’t feel like photographs at all 🤍

Candid photographs come from creating space for a couple to simply be themselves—allowing moments to unfold naturally.

If you’re hoping for photographs that feel natural and authentic to you as a couple, here are a few things to keep in mind:

✨ Choose a location that feels like you. Rather than simply choosing somewhere because it photographs well, choose a place that feels meaningful or feels like somewhere you’d naturally spend time together.

✨ Wear something you feel completely yourself in. When you’re comfortable, it shows.

✨ Don’t worry about knowing what to do with your hands. I’ll give you gentle direction when you need it, but I’ll also leave plenty of room for the unscripted moments to unfold.

✨ Keep moving and interacting. Walk, wander, laugh, hold each other close. The little moments between the “poses” are often where the magic lives.

✨ Most importantly, let yourselves be yourselves. Your relationship doesn’t need to look perfect—it just needs to look like you.

That’s what I’m always looking for during an engagement session: the way you naturally reach for each other, the little laughs, the quiet glances, and all those wonderfully imperfect, beautifully undone moments that belong only to the two of you.

This sweet evening at Inspiring Oaks Ranch in Wimberley was filled with exactly that kind of magic—blue skies, golden light, and Hannah & Lukas simply enjoying being together ✨

There's something about this Polaroid that I absolutely love.

Maybe it's because instant film isn't about perfection—it's about preserving a feeling. And sometimes, that's the heart of a wedding day ✨

It's a gentle reminder that while timelines, details, and portraits all matter, some of the memories you'll treasure most are the ones you never knew were unfolding.

Wedding Day Wisdom 🕊

One of the best decisions you can make for both your guests and your photographs is to schedule your reception toasts before dinner is served or after everyone has finished eating.

Not only does this help avoid photographs of guests (and the two of you) eating during such an important part of the evening, but it also allows everyone to be fully present for the people standing up to celebrate your story.

Your loved ones have taken the time to thoughtfully prepare their words. Giving them your full attention creates a more meaningful experience for everyone involved—and often leads to some of the most heartfelt, joy-filled photographs.

The laughter that bubbles over.
The happy tears.
The knowing glances.
The way you instinctively reach for one another's hand.

These are the moments that tell the story of your day just as much as the ceremony itself.

From both a photography and guest-experience perspective, setting aside dedicated time for toasts allows these heartfelt moments to receive the attention they truly deserve.

🤍 Did your reception toasts make you laugh, cry, or a little bit of both? I'd love to hear your favorite speech memory below!

✨ Save this wedding planning tip for later—your future self will thank you.
