Oh friends… Today has COME. As you can see, we’ve done a little spring cleaning and sprucing up of the place. It’s been on my 101 in 1001 list for a while now. And today is the day. More to come on that! But first..
Meet Candace and Tony. A nurse and an art teacher who fell in love eight months ago, and will vow each other their whole lives in just seven more. Once I learned of their ongoing camping adventures and love for the outdoors, I dreamed up this vision… Of a lacy tent in the middle of a field. With blankets and pillows, and simple things. And a bride and groom totally in their element. Oh, but it wasn’t just me! The fabulous ladies at Recollection Vintage Rentals were responsible for the amazing setup and styling. Thank you, girls!!
C & T – Thank you for your patience with the countless email threads that led up to this shoot. Thank you for being so open to rescheduling when Houston decided to end its drought ALL over our first location. Thank you for braving the treck out to a random field in Cypress, where snakes and bugs abound. And most of all, thank you for these images. For being your very sweet selves. And for letting me capture you just the way you are. XOXO!!
Candace? You must know how totally awesome you are… This right here is tattoo HOTTNESS.These two made my job so easy. (I know I say that a lot, but I REALLY mean it.) I was all, OMG-HOOOLD-IT-AND-DO-THAT-AGAIN!!Probably one of the best looking couples I’ve ever seen. I can only imagine what their BABIES will look like!One of my favorite moments. I look at this, and I feel love.A special thank you to Sunkissed & Made Up (my personal faves) for applying Candace’s makeup so flawlessly.Tony looking all handsome. AKA, barely even trying.Right after this shot was taken, Tony told me he was allergic to berries. I flipped. Then he told me he was lying.Note their perfect outfit choices. I had NO input here, people. And they had NO idea what the setup would look like either. Magic, I tell you…A quick outfit change and we were back to it. C – you’re beautiful times ten.Another favorite!And then we got a little artsy-fartsy. ;)Candace and Tony just laugh. And smile. ALL the time.Playing around with T’s vintage Polaroid…And a final shot featuring the love birds, with a sign made by the love birds. ;)YAY! Give ’em some looove!!
