We have so enjoyed getting to know Allison and Richard in our short time together! They are such a fun couple to be around, and everyone in their families was a dream to work with. Plus, Allison has a razor-sharp wit that kept us in stitches all day. Here are a few photos to give a a look into their very special day!

At Allison’s grandmother’s, we took a little time for a mini bridal session. It was done in an instant-I think we took them all in a span of 10-15 minutes!

The DJ had a special trick up his sleeve-instead of the girl who caught the bouquet, this guy had to put the garter on Richard!

JD and I love love love doing sessions downtown. We like to go to a lot of the same spots each time, but there is so much variety, it’s hard to get bored!

Renee and Justin are such a sweet couple, I can’t imagine how anyone could possibly avoid loving these two! Maybe that’s why they had a humongous wedding at Moody Gardens with, no kidding, 26 attendants! Moody Gardens was such a beautiful place to shoot, and Renee and Justin were an absolute joy to work with from beginning to end. We’ll be getting together soon for a couples session with them in Galveston, and we can’t wait! Here’s a peek into their beautiful wedding day.

Valerie and her family decided that it was time to get some nice photos taken to honor their mom. Isn’t that such a sweet idea?

Allison told me that someone commented on this photo and said what it really needs is an explosion in the background. I couldn’t agree more.
