Presley&Will

A beautiful blend of elegance and country charm, Presley and Will’s November wedding was equal parts fairy-tale and fun!

After initially connecting through our Instagram feed, we had the privilege of meeting Presley for lunch on the river in Belton, Texas! We couldn’t help but be excited as Presley told us about her history with Will and their plans for their dream wedding!

She did such an amazing job planning each and every detail! From her breathtaking bouquet to her custom leather heels, the entire day was a perfect reflection of their personalities!

And while there’s no denying that the details of the day were unique to the soon-to-be-Mr.-and-Mrs.-Turner, it was the intentionally intimate moments that made this day so special!

We just loved seeing the looks on her dad and grandfathers’ faces when Presley came out to show them her dress for the very first time!

Nestled in the Texas Hill Country, Tenroc Ranch proved to be an amazing venue for capturing gorgeous portraits! We just love Texas in the Fall!

Presley and Will had such an unforgettable ceremony. Will’s reaction as his bride made her way down the aisle was so sweet! And we understand why his breath was taken away; Presley was so gorgeous making her way down the hill in her timeless Allure dress and her custom cathedral length veil!

Krysta&AJ

Don’t you just love it when something feels RIGHT? When baby giggles fill the air, happy tears seem to be contagious and everywhere you look you see someone you love…those are the days that we live for. On those days, no poet can say it and no artist can paint it; because, it’s already perfect. Krysta and AJ’s Austin wedding set the scene for just that type of day.

September weddings display the perfect balance of the light and freedom of summer and the anticipation and joy of the harvest, and on this perfect day in the Texas Hill Country, every beautiful wedding-day-detail was in just its right place at just the right time! Elegant place settings, flowing floral arrangements and timeless ivory heels whispered a soft but clear message…this was going to be an unforgettable day!

One thing that was clear from the moment we met AJ was that he is CRAZY IN LOVE with Krysta! Rather than having cold feet, this groom was bubbling over with excitement and anticipation…he could. not. wait. to see his girl in her dress! Those feelings came to a head as Krysta made her way down to the end of the long driveway where AJ stared out across the rolling hills, shuffling his feet and waiting for his first look!

After a few sweet moments alone, the couple emerged, smiling from ear-to-ear…perfectly timed for their portraits! Gorgeous vistas and infectious laughter highlighted the remainder of the portrait sessions, and while Krysta and AJ were definitely the stars, their son, Zayvin, gave them a run for their money! He is so stinking cute!!!

From there, the family and bridal party retreated back inside the Red Ridge Reception area to rest and retouch before the ceremony while we made our way to the ceremony spot. Towering oaks and glowing lights provided the perfect canopy for the black iron gazebo as it sat, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the bride and groom!

This day ended more happily than it began, which is saying a lot! The reception had everything a party should: an in-house DJ, a lot of family, a lot of fun and one of the best reaction shots we’ve ever captured (AJ, thanks for “feeding” Krysta a piece of your wedding cake in such an unforgettable fashion)!!!
