I first met Grace back in 2017, while photographing her sister’s wedding in San Antonio. A few years later, I had the pleasure of meeting Brandon during a couples session in 2020. Fast forward to September 2024, and I was back in Texas—this time, capturing Grace and Brandon’s engagement session in Fredericksburg. That was the perfect lead-up to their beautiful West Texas wedding at the Gage Hotel in Marathon.

Their wedding day was truly unforgettable. After an intimate ceremony in the charming Gage Chapel, they celebrated at the Ritchey Building, where Ice House Band had the dance floor packed all night long. Before the reception, we slipped away to a nearby ranch with an incredible West Texas landscape—golden hour light gave way to a stunning sunset, creating the most breathtaking backdrop for their portraits.

It was such a joy to reconnect with Grace’s family—who I’ve had the privilege of getting to know over the years—and to be a part of their celebration. From the stunning desert views, to an epic celebration under the Texas sky, this wedding was filled with so much love and joy.

If you’re dreaming of a West Texas wedding or envisioning a day at the Gage Hotel, I’d love to be the one to tell your story.
