Andra + Chad {Texas Engagement}

Yesterday, my sister Emma called me to tell her boyfriend had finally proposed!  Yay! I'm so excited and happy for them.  Being engaged is such a fun, memorable time and I, personally, can't wait for the wedding planning to begin :)  So, now all I have to do is plan a trip out to Houston to see that shiny, new rock!  Congrats, you two! Since the newly engaged couple resides in Texas, I thought what better way to kick off the week then with a vintage-inspired engagement session from one of my favorite Texas photographers, Love Caryn Photography.  This darling couple wanted their quirky, off-beat style to shine through and with the help of Love Caryn Photography, they were able to achieved some stunningly beautiful images.

Oh, and make sure to check out their adorable video...

Sarah + CJ {Fort Worth Wedding}

Just in case you haven't heard, tomorrow we've got an exciting giveaway for our favorite Lowcountry Wedding Vendors...so don't miss it!  Today's wedding was captured by David Lunt Photography at the Marty Leonard Chapel in Fort Worth, Texas.  In case you've never been, Fort Worth is a pretty awesome city.  It's got that Southern ease mixed with a Western Charm which is exactly why Sarah + CJ had to travel all the way from Kentucky just to tie the knot in this fabulous Texas city.  Since having a destination wedding meant that some of their guests would be unable to make the trip, Sarah asked they donate a broach to her which she then made into her beautiful bouquet.  Sarah + CJ let their personalities shine through in their retro chic wedding.  Sarah looked ah-mazing in her Marilyn Monroe-esque gown, fab red shoes and gorgeous birdcage veil while CJ stayed true to himself by sporting a pair of black Chuck Taylors.

Meagan + Shaun {Texas Engagement}

I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving!  Sorry we were MIA for a few days, between traveling, eating and shopping a quick vacay was necessary.  Today's bride Meagan is a small town Southern girl from Brady, Texas.  Not only is she stylish (she's a stylish for Stella & Dot) and beautiful (can I have her hair?) but she's also a foodie (she's the brains behind Zesty Bite) and a runner (marathoner, that is!)...so, it's no surprise Shaun is head over heels for her!   This past Spring, the couple met up with the talented Shuffield Photography in Meagan's hometown for their flawless engagement session.

Laura + Chris {Texas Wedding}

Laura + Chris were married this past September just outside of Dallas, Texas.  The couple were hoping for a simple, yet elegant affair and that's just what they had at the lovely Honeysuckle Gardens.  Laura went with a purple and orange color palette that was fitting of their rustic venue and added some fun punches of color to their wedding day.   From the meaningful ceremony shots to all the darling details, the talented team from Mulberry Lane Studio was on hand to capture the couple's memorable day.

Heather + Kolby {Fort Worth Wedding}

Last December, my husband's cousin was tying the knot in Fort Worth, Texas.  It was my first trip EVER to the Lonestar State and I couldn't have had a better time.  Fort Worth is such a cool, clean city.  It's got a great mix of Western heritage, fabulous shopping and a lively bar scene (Pete's Dueling Piano Bar, anyone?)  All and all, I would highly recommend a trip if you haven't already been.  So, needless today say, I was pretty excited when Lyncca Harvey sent over Heather + Kolby's Fort Worth Wedding.  The couple wed this past summer at the gorgeous Fort Worth YWCA where they treated their guests to a little Texas cuisine, some kickin' tunes and a seriously good time! 

You think their guests enjoyed the wedding!?!

Southern Weddings {Kim + Chris}

I'm so glad I finally get to share this amazing rustic wedding with yall.    When Alex, of AlexM Photography, recently sent over these images, I couldn't get enough of all the character and awesome details the bride + groom incorporated.  The darling couple, Kim + Chris, wed this past June in Hooks, Texas on the grounds of Ramage Farms.  The picturesque North East Texas venue was the perfect backdrop for their ceremony and reception and made for gorgeous images.  Kim donned a vintage layered gown for her big day that she paired perfectly with silver and turquoise jewelry.  As she made her way down the aisle towards Chris, she carried a bright colored bouquet of calla lilies and roses made by the fabulous Twisted Vines.  Enjoy!

I told you it was awesome!

Aubrey + Jeff: Cathedral of Junk

Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend.  I can't believe it's already Monday morning again :(  I swear these summer weekends just keep flying by.  I wanted to kick off this week with one of the coolest engagement sessions I've ever seen.  The gorgeous couple, Aubrey + Jeff, share a love of collecting random things (Jeff may jokingly refers to his bride-to-be as a hoarder) and they plan to incorporate many of the treasures they've acquired into their upcoming wedding.   Jeff compares Aubrey's hobby to their five-year relationship saying, "If you keep something around long enough, you end up never wanting to let it go."  So, it made perfect sense they chose the Cathedral of Junk in Austin, Texas as the backdrop for their eclectic engagement session.  From the natural light and beautiful couple to the mounds of vintage finds and mustaches, photographer Caryn Wood of Love Caryn Photography, did an AH-mazing job capturing these two in their element.  I still can't get over how Aubrey's dress pops in every picture? Love it.

Southern Wedding {Katy + Jason}

Ashley of Live. Laugh. PHOTOGRAPH sent over this perfectly charming Southern wedding, complete with cowboys boots and live country music...Texas style!  The couple, Katy + Jason, were wed June 11, 2011 just outside of Dallas at Loma Linda in beautiful Rockett, Texas.  Doesn't Katy just look flawless in her strapless gown, pearls and cowboy boots?  I love it.  The rustic venue allowed for a touching outdoor ceremony under the trees.  After, the guest made their way to the reception where the dined on Randy's BBQ's signature cuisine and later indulged in their choice of two fabulous desserts by Dallas Affaires Cake Co.  To top of the evening, the guests danced the night away to the tunes of Chad McBride and The Drifters. 

All in all, I'd have to say it was a perfect Texas Wedding...

I can't wait for you guys to check out these vivid images the talented Evan of Purus Wedding Studios recently sent over.  The loving couple, Stevie + Trevor, wed this past Memorial Day Weekend in Luling, Texas (right outside of Austin) at the picturesque Hillview Ranch.  The combination of their rustic color palette, her stunning Alfred Angelo gown and perfect Summer light made for a day of enviable wedding photos.  I just can't properly put into words how beautiful all of these shots are, particularly the ones of Stevie + Trevor surrounded by the gorgeous Texas landscape as the sun begins to set.   Enjoy...
