“Matt and Michelle met while they were attending the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Michelle's initial impression of Matt was his quiet and polite demeanor...something unusual to find in the average college guy. Between his sweet dance moves and the fact he was tall, dark, and handsome, Michelle was smitten from the get-go. On the other hand, Matt was immediately taken aback by Michelle's infectious smile and beautiful eyes. Once they had a chance to chat and get to know one another, Matt also realized Michelle was quite intelligent and could carry a great conversation. The two quickly became inseparable. Love began to blossom. They officially started dating in the fall…”
Read More"On February 23rd, our practice got out early, which was a rare occurrence. As any high school girl would, I walked over to the other gym with my teammates to see the boys team scrimmage. They were scrimmaging some town I had never heard of; Roff. I stuck around the entire time, knowing a few of us wanted to take the floor after they were finished to get some shots up. To my surprise I caught the eye of one of the players from the opposing team. (As I get older I understand how small the world is, and how much smaller it is if you played sports.) One of my guy friends happened to know a guy on that team; the one who was interested in knowing me. He says, “Dude, I have to know who the redhead is.” Later that night I got a text from a number I didn't recognize…”
Read More“Derek and I met the summer of my junior year of college, and his senior year. I was in a relationship at the time, so we were strictly friends who saw each other a lot due to mutual friends...which made us pretty close. I left A&M before the start of the Fall semester to go back to Oklahoma where I played college soccer. From the time I left, up until four years ago, we didn’t keep in contact besides keeping up with each other on social media. By this time, Derek had graduated and started working on the renovation of Kyle Field in College Station. I was finishing up my degree and soccer career in another state, before moving back home to San Antonio – still in the same relationship. It wasn’t until almost four years later…”
Read More“Mark and Hannelore contacted me earlier this year about shooting their wedding at The St. Anthony Hotel in downtown San Antonio. Having shot at this gorgeous hotel once, I was immediately excited about the chance of shooting there again. Their day was filled with so much laughter and joy from those closest to them, as well as a little crowd surfing and rocking with the band. Side note: Hannelore can sing! It was also beautiful, as well as an honor, to capture Hannelore with a rather special rosary...one that was gifted to her great-grandmother and carried down the aisle by both…”
Read More“Joseph and I met in Austin, Texas while we were both students at UT. Originally being from Houston, we’ve come to think of Austin as a second home. During our engagement, it was easy to pick Austin as the location for our wedding because we feel like that’s where our love for each other started, so why not go back and share our wedding with our closest friends and family in a location so close to our hearts? Once we visited Barr Mansion we knew it was the place where we would be married. Barr Mansion was truly a breathtaking place to get married. Joseph and I both love the outdoors and natural beauty. We felt that Barr Mansion encompassed the rustic elegance and natural beauty that we hoped to capture on our wedding day. We were also drawn to Barr by its historical elegance and wanted to incorporate that into our "theme," which is why…”
