I walked 20K steps on day one in New York and my couple never once complained. That’s how I knew they were my people.

One of my favorite ways to get to know my couples is to travel with them. Rachel and Jesse showed me NYC, we did another 16K steps on day two, and we ate and drank our way across the city. 😍

I’d go back tomorrow if they said “let’s go!”.

Want a destination session of your own? DM me “NYC” and let’s talk!

Disclaimer: I am NOT an early morning person. You could offer me a free pony and I’d still say see you at noon and start my day around 10. 🤣

When Jaime and Adam asked me to meet them for a morning session due to their crazy busy work schedule, I didn’t even make them ask twice, we met at Bella Donna Chapel at 6am, which meant my alarm went off at 4:30 and I got up like a functioning adult. 🫠🥲 For these two, I’ll do it. Don’t tell my bed. 🥲🤣

The forecast said heavy rain the whole time, but the rain gods love me (flex!) and held it off until we wrapped. It’s pouring again today - I’m looking back at these and feeling pretty smug about that 4:30 alarm. 🤭😏

Congrats again, you two. Worth every minute of lost sleep. 😮‍💨😌

How’s everyone holding up in this weather? 👀

Aeolus is a bumhole.

He knows I don’t like it when he tries to free climb random s**t in the studio and knows that’ll get me out of my seat.

Child, leave me TF alone. I’m editing. I’m making tuna money for you. 😑

Just so you know, you’ll always get color versions of every photo I take. But black and white does something to a photo that color just can’t, and I love turning as many as I can into these. 🥹

During our post-booking in person meeting, Adam told me upfront that he's not a fan of being photographed. I appreciate the honesty, but I also watched him show up to The Crescent Court in a full tux, pull Jamie close at the bar, and give me frame after frame that I've been staring at ever since. 😍

Their wedding is at Bella Donna Chapel this September, one of my all-time favorite spots in DFW, and if this session is any indication of how that day is going to feel, I'm already giddy about it. 🤭

Newly engaged and want photos that actually look like you? Come find me. 👀 My dm's are open, I got the link in bio, not sure how else I can make your job easy, hehe 🤭

I photographed Paulina and Sam's proposal long before I photographed their wedding, so standing there when Sam took her hand under the chuppah at Temple Emanu-El felt like watching a whole story come full circle.🤭

Their day had it all. Matching blue pajamas and a very competitive chess game during getting ready, three first looks that completely wrecked me, a chuppah covered in blush and cornflower blue, the glass break, and a hora that nearly took the roof off The Room on Main.

I put my favorites up on the blog. 🥹 Go see these two!

Congratulations, Paulina and Sam. Here's to the Cassells! 🥂

Natalie walked down the aisle carrying a heart hand-sewn from her dad’s shirt. He isn’t here with us anymore, and someone who loved them both made sure he was anyway. I saw it right before the ceremony and had to physically collect myself, as I also lost my dad, and some moments just hit different when you know exactly how they feel. I was NOT about to start a cry train and help ruin her makeup before she even made it to the altar. 🥴

She made it. Spencer saw her for the first time as she walked down holding her brother’s arm, and his whole face just lit up. They said their vows, they cried, they laughed, we chased the most beautiful Texas golden hour light across the ranch, and then Natalie proceeded to absolutely destroy the dance floor at nearly 7 months pregnant with zero hesitation and zero regrets. 💃🏻
•
I shot this one solo because the day was intimate enough that I could be everywhere at once, and I am so glad I was. This little family is just getting started. Baby, if you ever see these photos someday, your parents had the best day.

Congratulations, you three. 🥹
