Hermann Park Engagement: Angela & Kenny

Once upon a time, my life was a complete jumble of paper writing, centerpiece hunting, pretending to like my historical archaeology class, and prepping for one of the biggest life changes of, well, my life. I was still in school, planning a wedding, and taking on the overwhelming task of introducing my brand to an entirely new market. In a state I’d never been. Where the girls had better hair than me, and accents I could only one day hope to imitate properly. But perhaps the most challenging part of advertising so early on, though worth it, was having to explain to potential clients that I wasn’t actually THERE yet. “No, I can’t meet this Monday at the Starbucks on Smith and Gray. But I PROMISE I’m not a con-artist!!” I’m sure you can imagine how those conversations went down.

Which brings me to today’s amazing couple. Angela was my first ever Houston bride. Meeting online posed no issue, as evidenced by Angela’s “I feel like I know you from all of our emails!” comment at their engagement session last week. And it was true. We did already know each other. I knew that she was a teacher. And Kenny, a firefighter. I knew that together they are raising their two gorgeous little girls. I knew that their wedding day would be the beautiful culmination of two people, and two families, becoming one. And she knew I wasn’t a con-artist… ;)

A & K – Thank you so much for your trust, enthusiasm, and for being so ridiculously easy to photograph. ;) Enjoy the sneak peek! XOXO!!
