Tuscany Villa Wedding: Rachel & Travis

Yesterday had me all reminiscent. It had me thankful. As I remembered the fear that came along with moving to a brand new city, with no friends and no family that lived there, I was reminded all of the beautiful friendships we’ve made since then, Rachel and Travis included… Theirs were the first faces to greeted us the very day of our arrival to Houston. Only then, it was a client meeting.. And now it’s funny to think there was ever a time when we weren’t friends. Because every encounter since then has involved some form of sushi or pizza or ice cream, or me calling them after our car was towed and Dylan was out of town and I had no idea what to do. Friendship. Plain and simple.

And THAT is why this post means so much to us. Dylan, Amber, and I had the very recent honor of documenting a day when our friends (who happened to be clients) promised their love and lives to one another. So, whereas any other client’s wedding day I’d get all misty-eyed… On this day, there were definitely some full fledged tears forming. No blog post can properly convey the happiness we feel for our dear friends, or our thankfulness to have them in our lives. Rach and Travis, we hope these images are a start. :) XOXO!!

Rachel and Travis got hitched at the Tuscany Villa in Katy, TX. Just gorgeous.

I was in LOVE with Rachel’s Kate Spade shoes. Totally blingin’.Floral by Polak Petals. :)Dylan and I were so thankful to have Amber Jacoby along to shoot the big day with us. Here’s one of her shots!
I can post this moment because I’m a friend. :)Dylan captured this moment of Rach’s dad before seeing his daughter in her dress for the first time.And Amber and I tag-teamed this one. Perhaps the most emotional moment of the entire day.Then we were able to hang with the guys a bit before the ceremony.Amber shot this super cool shot of the guys. I’m sorta jealous I didn’t take it myself. ;)
Ceremony time. This is what I refer to as the “THERE she is” moment. :)The details at this wedding were so fancy and SO Rachel and Travis. Especially loved the pink uplighting!Special thanks to Barbara Suarez of More Than Cakes for the gorgeousness that is below.Loved this first dance moment. :)And this best man’s speech was quite obviously awesome.Travis and his momma.And Dylan’s take on some night’s end dancing.

Happy Friday!!
