Gosh, these two.
I feel like Meredith is the essence of loveliness and Brandon is the good man that will stand by her side, forever soaking up that loveliness.
Meredith and Brandon are both of the studious/intellectual variety, so they brought along some old books and a bookcase for some of the photos.
Meredith is studying biology and brought along this microscope to work into the session.
We don’t have to talk about how I accidentally called in a “stethoscope” at several points during the shoot . . . my bad.
 I so enjoyed working with these two —  watching them laugh together, tease each other and be just all-around adorable was so fun.
I cannot wait to shoot their wedding in May 2013!
So I sat and thought for quite a while about which meaningful thing I could say about Sara and Brent to start out this blogpost, or which dear/wonderful/sweet attributes of theirs to compliment first (for they have many) but maybe I’ll just skip that part and let the photos do the talking.
Sara and Brent it was an honor to photograph your wedding day. My heart could seriously not be happier that y’all are husband and wife.
Their venue was Storybook Ranch in McKinney and I just cannot wait to shoot another wedding there because it was just such a fun environment to work with. Bonus: This venue is also the home to River Ranch Educational Charities which helps underprivileged and special needs children.
This next photo I think does a pretty good job of describing Brent — good-natured, kind-hearted and bursting at the seams with love for Sara.
As for Sara, out of all the women in the world Brent holds her high, high, high above all the rest. And I think that says a lot about how wonderful a person Sara must be.
At this point in the day he had not yet seen Sara, but as his facial expression shows, he was very excited for his first look with his bride that was to happen in a short matter of minutes.
After some sweet moments with just the two of them, the wedding party came out to join in on the fun.
Something I thought was particularly special about this wedding day was that a close friend/mentor of Brent’s (Chris, above) was the officiant of the ceremony.
Yah. Flower girl cuteness.
Guys, when I look at photos of the ceremony I seriously cannot help but get so overwhelmed by emotion at how earnestly excited and dearly Brent gazed at Sara the entire time. It was just the very best thing.
YAY MARRIAGE!!
 
This ring-bearer won my heart when I saw him reading his Star Wars comic book in the middle of the reception. He was so caught up in it he never even noticed me take these photos.
Sara and Brent, y’all are beautiful human beings with beautiful hearts which I know will make for a beautiful marriage.
Tabitha is a student at Aveda Institute Dallas and wanted some photos for her portfolio before she moves to NEW YORK next month for a salon internship! I was pumped to get to photograph something a little bit more fashion-y, and had a lot of fun with it.
Enjoy looking at a few of the shots from Tabitha’s portfolio session from late October.
The above shot is actually Tabitha herself! I didn’t want to send her off to New York without an updated headshot!
Bah! This look was so fun and definitely my favorite. Believe it or not, this model is Tabitha’s little FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD niece. She definitely rocked it out for the shoot.
Goodness gracious, I’m just so excited for you in this upcoming adventure, Tabitha! I wish you all the best in New York!
Jonathan wanted to surprise his wife, Brista, with a photo session to document their love and family as they are now, in their fourth year of marriage.
So that’s what we did.
Jonathan and Brista had fallen in love with this little old church near Allen and decided they’d like to have some of their photos done inside. I love shooting in different environments so I jumped on the idea.
Jonathan is a worship leader at their church, so of course we had to take a couple of musically inclined photos too.
This sums up the Mayfields at this point  — each other and their lovable pups.
And when we started toward the next spot, my heart went pitter patter. I just love how these next set of images turned out.
Dude, Brista, I am LOVING that pop of color you added with your scarf and earrings. Well played, well played.
Yah, okay, Gorgeous.
 Jonathan and Brista — I had such a great time documenting the fun you guys have together.  I wish you infinitely more happy years of marriage.
