Mary and Jed's Stately Mansion Wedding

Mary and Jed's October wedding was EVERYTHING you could hope for in a Fall day. Set in the quiet countryside, surrounded by all the colors of trees changing, with perfect weather and a dreamy sunset, everything was magic!

The wonderful people at Park Hill Farm, a stately mansion in Crockett, Texas, had such servant hearts that were evident across every inch of their beautiful venue!

Before the ceremony, we were swooning over the elegance of the day's details. Mary's stunning diamond band and Jed's deer-antler ring mirrored their personalities so perfectly. The rich colors of the bouquets popped when set against the soft blush of the bridesmaids' dresses. Each jewel and thread of lace made for a stunning gown, and when Mary stepped into that dress and smiled, we watched time slow down! One of our favorite moments of the day was when Mary's dad, Dennis, got his first sneak peek of his baby girl in her dress. All. The. Feels...

And the feels kept on coming; because, it's not only the place that makes a day special. The atmosphere truly makes the difference, and we can't say enough about the amount of love that surrounded Mary and Jed that evening! All who turned out in support of the bride and groom painted such a beautiful picture of family and made the whole day feel like one big team effort! Smiles of encouragement were shared between Mary, her mom, Jeanna, her sweet sister, Becca, and her amazing maid of honor, Shelby! Chloe, the precious flower girl, let out infectious giggles that lit up the room! Jed and and his guys, Jake and Jake, kept us laughing as they bantered back and forth. And everyone embraced a spirit of genuine celebration...

And like every girl dreams it will be, the best moments began when the doors swung open, and Mary began making her way down the aisle...

As family and guests headed to the reception, Mr. and Mrs. Mobley were able to take a breath and soak in the joy of a few moments alone together...

...and at the end of their dream day, he stole her away from the party for a few more sunset kisses!

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
