The O’Connor wedding was O’Mazing; Angie and David are so much fun! Filled to overflow with laughter, their East Texas Wedding was such an infectious environment. We can’t wait to invite you in…

For their dream day, Angie and David chose a venue that was 30 miles southwest of Tyler in the small Texas town of Murchison. We pulled into town early that October morning, eager to see what this venue had in store! Quiet and quaint, Murchison is the picture of small-town-USA, and Stone Oak Ranch captured the best pieces of its country charm and combined them with a truly grand vision! A shimmering pond, majestic shade trees and breathtaking chandeliers made it clear that Stone Oak Ranch would be a venue to remember!

We love October weddings; because, Fall is one of our favorite times of year! In Fall, people naturally draw closer together, give thanks and serve one another! It is the time of the harvest, the time when we can celebrate the abundance of blessing that has come from our season of labor.

Fall speaks loudest in its smallest details.

And Angie and David’s details were so unique! We ate them up!!! Undisputed favorites included Angie’s birdcage veil, her antique mirror and the timeless Fall floral arrangements that Angie WON at a bridal fair during her engagement!

Once the boots, the birdcage, and Angie’s beautiful dress were on just right, we took a few moments to capture some individual and small group portraits with the bride and groom. Angie radiated so much joy!

Shout-out to our wonderful second shooter, Sarah Clark, for capturing the tears that welled up in David’s eyes as his bride made her way down the aisle! Wedding days are defined by the emotions of these moments!

Thinking back on this reception, we could easily talk about the good friends, good food and sweet dance moves, but one of the things that stands out most in our minds is the cake! Extravagant and intricate, detailed and all around GORGEOUS, this was one of our favorite cakes we have ever photographed! Take a look!
