Another stunning and sweet bride. How do I get so lucky!?! Anna traveled to her wedding venue, Gruene Estate, to capture her bridal portraits. This session was all about beautiful pops of color. From her out of this world bouquet to her crystal clear blue eyes and the saturated tints on the stained glass windows of the chapel, it was a vibrant and fun-filled evening. As always, it was hard to narrow down our favorites. I’ve collected a few of them here, so please enjoy! I’m even more excited to pull together from Anna and Luke’s wedding. Check back shortly for a sampling from their special day.

Hunter Bridals
Classic beauty! I love how all of Hunter’s bridal photos turned out. We were blessed with a beautiful afternoon on the day of her session and we could have not asked for better light. I’m not sure what else to say other than she looks stunning in them all! It’s always fun to get to post a bridal session after waiting so patiently for the day of the wedding. Scroll down below to see some of my favorites 🙂
Destiny Bridal
It was a hot afternoon when I met Destiny near downtown Gruene, Texas to take her bridal portraits. Even though it was pretty crowded, we found some great textures to feature her dress. From the rustic wooden steps that highlighted her gorgeous train, to the tucked away little nooks with amazing backlight, it was all dreamy. I had a great time walking around with Destiny, her mom and her grandmother finding the best locations.
Denise Bridal
Due to COVID, I wasn’t able to work with Denise on her wedding day; however, I did get the pleasure of capturing her bridals! We met at the ever beautiful Gruene Estate (which happens to be one of my all-time favorites) to take her portraits.
Olivia Bridal
Timeless and effortless! Olivia rocked her bridal session like a seasoned pro when I met her out at the divine Remi’s Ridge at Hidden Falls. We were a little nervous leading up to when we started shooting that afternoon because it had been raining for most of the day. Luckily, it cleared up just in time and we had some nice open light to capture her portraits. It was really hard for me to pick my favorites for this one. With the vibrant greenery surrounding the waterfall and the great textures all around, it loved them all. Not to mention that Olivia looked stunning in every photo. Even the bridal suite with the surrounding mirrors on almost every wall was a perfect backdrop to showcase her beautiful dress.
Valerie Bridal
‘m so glad I finally get to share these! Waiting to post bridals is such a hard thing to do for us photographers 🙂 For this session, Valerie scheduled her bridals at the picturesque Chandelier of Gruene. Thankfully, we were blessed with a gorgeous afternoon and sunset. It was the perfect backdrop for Valerie’s elegant details and beautiful lace dress. It was hard to narrow down my favorites (as usual lol – I just love weddings!). And of course, Valerie looked stunning in them all. From in front of the
Valerie Bridals
I’m so glad that I finally get to share this bridal session! We had to reschedule several times due to the craziness that COVID-19 brought about; but, thankfully, we were able to meet up on Valerie’s original wedding date to finally capture these photos. It was a picturesque evening. A little hot, but no heavy wind and a pretty sunset. The best of what Texas has to offer! I met Valerie, her mom and her bridal squad at a gorgeous property in Boerne, Texas and we couldn’t have found a better place if we tried. With Longhorns roaming freely, rustic outbuildings and wooden fences, it fit perfectly with Valerie’s rustic vibe. Scroll down below to see a sampling from her favorite poses captured!
Jessica’s Bridals
I’ve been waiting so long to share these! We took Jessica’s bridals at the Whitehall Polley Mansion this summer—-and she ROCKED IT!
Dating back to 1847, this will always be one of my favorite spots to photograph. With gorgeous textures, 18″ stone walls and beautiful antique furniture throughout, it’s a photographer’s dream. There are so many picturesque spots to take portraits both inside and outside on the grounds.
Madeline Bridal
Yet again, the Polley Mansion never disappoints! I’m so glad to finally share these images from Madeline’s bridal session from back in February! It was a little chilly this morning, but we had beautiful bright light to work with. Her handmade flower crown and bouquet were the perfect accents to the gorgeous textures found inside the property dating back to 1847.
Arron + Krystal Wedding
Arron and Krystal were married on a beautiful sunny day, November 17, 2018, at The Legacy event venue in Jacksonville, Texas. This was a great one to photograph! Krystal made for a stunning bride in her dress with delicate lace details and intricate beading. The blue and burgundy accents in the florals were perfectly balanced and I also adored the vintage cameras and props used as the centerpieces for the reception. So pretty!
Randi’s Bridal
Bridal sessions are one of my favorites because they give every bride the opportunity to dress up and take beautiful portraits without the stress of the big day. Randi drove down with her daughter, mom and maid of honor to the Seguin area for her bridal session. We had a relaxing afternoon walking around and searching for beautiful light. Scroll down to see a sampling of what we captured!
Jennifer Bridal
I’m so glad that I can finally share some of the bridals taken before Jennifer became Mrs. Winchester! It was overcast the afternoon we took them, but we managed to take advantage of a few rays of sun that peeked through here and there.
Ashley
We took these beautiful photos of Ashley at the Botanical Gardens in San Antonio. Ashley owns her own fitness business and this dress showcases her strength and beauty perfectly.

Who better to take bridals with than your best friend!
