Hannah&Steven

Set under the trees at Barnett Estates, Hannah and Steven's North Texas wedding was a wonderful celebration of love and family and the perfect reflection of Texas in early Spring!

The soft colors of Hannah's details were EVERYTHING that is wonderful about weddings! A breathtaking bouquet, timeless diamonds, and of course those velvet blue heels!! How can you not be a romantic when you're surrounded by all these lovelies?! It was a photographer's dream!

After applying the finishing touches to her lips and hair, Hannah was ready to step into the dress she'd been waiting her whole life to wear! Meanwhile, Steven and his guys were busy cracking jokes and showing off their crazy socks!

As friends and family gathered in anticipation, Jana, Brittney, and the rest of the team at Barnett Estates put the finishing touches on the serene ceremony setting. It was such a joy to work alongside these women and to see the pride they took in their work!

As the processional drew to a close, the guests rose to their feet to welcome the breathtaking bride...What we all witnessed then was truly one of our favorite moments of the Spring wedding season! From opposite ends of the aisle, Hannah and Steven locked eyes and were overwhelmed in a moment of thanksgiving and pure joy. There were no dry eyes in the house! But we aren't even sure if the happy couple was aware that there were other people there at all; their gazes remained fixed on one another, looking as though they were the only two people in the world!

While family and friends started the party off with a cocktail hour, Mr. and Mrs. Fineran had a chance to sneak away for a few magical moments together as we captured all the emotion of their dreamy husband and wife portrait session! There were sweet smiles, infectious laughter, precious tears, tender kisses, and everything in between! It was such an honor to be spending time with Hannah and Steven as they soaked in their first moments of marriage!

Analiz&Jeffrey

Analiz and Jeffrey's love for each other is some of the most genuine that we've ever seen! It doesn't take long to notice the way Jeffrey deeply cares for his bride and his family, and anyone who has met Analiz knows that her sweet smile and joy exuding laugh can change the atmosphere in any room! These two were clearly made for each other and their love was such an honor to capture!

kelsiehendricksphotography-analizwedding-49.jpg

Capturing this wild West Texas wedding was a little like running a marathon! Haha! We started the day early in the morning with Analiz' beautiful bridal details! A couple of our favorite moments were intimate ones shared between the bride and her parents! The tears that welled up in her Daddy's eyes as he saw his baby girl in her wedding dress reminded us of the amazing gift that family is!

Analiz and Jeffrey have a beautiful daughter, Aliannah, and a brand new baby boy, Dominic, and it was so neat to see how they included them in their wedding ceremony! In addition to being the flower girl, Ali was brought up during the ceremony to receive a special girt from Jeffrey, a beautiful new bracelet! When Jeffrey knelt to place the bracelet on Ali's wrist, there wasn't a dry eye in the house! Dominic also has his moment to shine as the ceremony was immediately followed by his baptism!

Allie&David

The Christmas season is magical! Lights are brighter; smiles are wider, and love shines throughout the season. Allie and David's Christmas Eve's Eve (December 23rd) wedding was a perfect picture of Christmas magic!

It was a crisp, cold, lovely day filled with smiles from every friend and family member in attendance! White linens, dreamy lights, and beautiful greenery draped the Gin and painted a winter wonderland to set the scene for the intimate ceremony!

This day was full of moments that left us feeling honored to just be there to witness! Both the guys and the girls gathered to pray over the soon-to-be bride and groom. Tears of joy flowed from the grateful hearts in both circles...!

Anticipation was building as David took his place in the courtyard and anxiously waited for his first glimpse of his bride! Allie softly walked up behind David, gently placed her hand on his shoulder and took a deep breath. When he turned to see, he could hardly hold it together! He wrapped her up and held on tight with the fullness of love in his embrace...

Then the real fun began! After the first look, Allie and David got a chance to relax and be themselves as we captured some gorgeous bride and groom portraits! These two are MADE FOR EACH OTHER! They share in a sense of humor that makes their bond evident for everyone around them!

Each bridesmaid wore a unique burgundy dress, and the groomsmen had ties to match. The pop of color made for the perfect warm accent to the winter scene! Both Allie's girls and David's guys had so much fun; the venue was filled with the sound of laughter all afternoon!

One of the most memorable feelings of the day was when we captured portraits of Allie and her Papaw. The man who gave his all to raise her up in love was obviously the first to have her heart!

kelsiehendricksphotography-alliedavidwedding-81.jpg

As people and more people began to stream into the Tin Top Gin in Slaton, TX, we had no doubt that Allie and David are truly cherished and loved! They shared an intimate ceremony without a dry eye in the house and celebrated afterwards with Yellow House Coffee for all of their guests! What a fun treat, right?! This day was a special one for us, and we were truly honored to be a part!

Collette and Sean's Romantic Italian Wedding

We had the opportunity to capture Collette and Sean's beautiful, Tuscan themed wedding at Casa Bella in Andrews, Texas. The moment I spoke to Collette on the phone, I knew she'd be a dream bride. She was so incredibly kind and spoke from a truly grateful heart. I was so excited they chose to trust me as their wedding photographer!

Their June wedding was filled to the brim with thoughtful details and personal touches! Collette hand-dyed and creatively put together her granddaughter, Kate's, one-of-a-kind flower girl dress. Sean and Collette also made mix tapes for each other, and handed out a copy of each to their guests as wedding favors. It was clear that family and friends were important to them. Their family style dinner allowed for everyone to gather around one long, stunning table and break bread. I loved watching their loved ones share in this monumental day with them!

Joe's Italian Restaurant served one of the best Italian meals I've had, and Sean and Collette offered wedding cake and a cheesecake bar for dessert! How fun! Right? Their sweet day ended with laughter and smiles surrounding them as they danced in each other's arms under the stars.

Thank you to Collette and Sean for trusting us! It was an such an honor to be a part of your lovely story!

You are welcome here

Thank you for stopping by! The love and support shown to me while building this business has been a true gift from God.

I just want you to know one important thing. You are welcome here.

And by “here,” I just mean into my world. Let’s pretend that we’re sitting at a great little coffee shop. You’re sipping on your favorite drink. The best song is playing quietly in the background. And we’re having a conversation face to face. You there? Great. Now that we’re hanging out, I’d love to share the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Love.
Love has a face and a name. Love is a person. Love has changed my life.
 
“God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him.” 1 John 4:16

The real, honest, undeserved love of Jesus has forever changed me in the best way, and the really neat thing is that He is extending that invitation to you, too.

You truly are welcome here, friend, and not only that, you are wanted.

God, creator of the universe, delights in us, his creation, and you’re a part of that. So, come and hang out. This is a safe place. You will find love here.

Love is the best thing that’s happened to me and the most important thing in my life. Everything else is just an overflow of that. Which is where taking photographs comes into the picture.

It is such an honor to walk with others and capture real moments as they live their beautiful stories! I can’t wait to share more of those sweet stories here.

Love,
Kelsie

PS.. these are five of my favorite real moments of love captured this year.
