Abigail and Luis | Lifestyle Photographer

Abigail and Luis contacted me several months ago to do photos of the two of them! They're not engaged (we'll stop any rumors right now!), but every couple needs some sweet photos of the two of them, right??

So we picked the hottest night in August and wandered around the Plaza together! Ok, so we didn't pick the hottest night on purpose... but it was BRUTAL. (It was so bad that we did a forehead wipe before each photo.) 

Through it all, these guys were such troopers! How can two people be SO sweet in such hot weather?? :)

Abigail and Luis have such calm, content and steady composures... they were literally up for any idea I had!

They've been dating for many years, and were friends at church long before that. You can just tell that these two really know each other - there's such a depth to their relationship!

And I just love how he makes her giggle... :)

Rian and Travis | The Vow Exchange Wedding

A small, simple ceremony with the people they loved - that's what they wanted. Rian and Travis contacted me about doing their wedding at The Vow Exchange and I could not help but be SO excited! Small intimate weddings are my favorite, and theirs was so sweet!

Rian wanted to make sure everything was documented... but what she really wanted was photos of her and and her man (and plenty of them!).

They were so excited to do their first look and completely melted into each others arms. (Figuratively and literally... it was HOT!)

Although I'd met Rian before that day, it was a privilege to meet Travis for the first time. He is charming, gentle, relaxed and perfectly compliments Rian's spunky personality. :)

This woman is fiercely devoted and beautifully determined. I just love that smile...

The ceremony was quick and unrehearsed...

But Travis still cried as his bride walked toward him.

YAY!

After the ceremony, we were able to capture a few more details - including a few photos of her beautiful bouquet and lovely shoes. That's SUCH a pretty green!

Small bridal parties are the best! This was such a fun crew... :)

And of course we got more bride and groom photos afterwards!!

These two are so clearly, deeply, and beautifully in love... it was such a joy to be with them!

From his watch to his shoes to his warm eyes... Travis is such a dapper guy.

And Rian... oh Rian! You are so lovely in so many ways. :)

After photos we all headed to Thomas Restaurant to enjoy and relax with family and friends for the rest of the evening. 

I'll end with this photo because it beautifully captures their bliss. Finally married!!

Travis and Rian, THANK YOU so so much for allowing me to photograph your beautiful day! It was so wonderfully refreshing to be there and document your love... I hope you're enjoying your wonderful honeymoon! Blessings to you both! :)
