Wow oh wow.
This mid-January wedding was just so great to shoot because the entire day was just cram-packed with love, sincerity, the Gospel, light and pretty little mint-colored details.
We started the day off at the beautiful Wyatt Mansion in Waxahachie, Texas. Enjoy.
And here you have two of the nicest people out there — Matt and Katie.
Matt and Katie wanted to plan a first look into their wedding day, and I have to say, after documenting their reactions to seeing each other and the gorgeous resulting natural light portraits, I’m so glad they did.
Katie and Matt — I FOR REAL cannot get over how stunning you two are together. So, ya know, good job on that.
The American flag socks Matt sported on his wedding day were a copy cat of the socks his father wore on his wedding day.
After finishing up portraits at Wyatt Mansion we all loaded up and headed to Matt and Katie’s church for the ceremony.
Before the wedding party processional started, a video Katie and Matt had made of the two of them together recounting their love story played. Needless to say, it was real sweet.
Back at Wyatt Mansion the party went into full swing.
 James and I so loved being a part of this day. Thank you for letting us.
There are only NINE DAYS left to enter into the Jillian Zamora Photography giveaway — so exciting!
This January I was sitting at my desk editing a wedding and literally found myself moved to tears at how thankful I am to have this job and how gracious the Lord has been to us in allowing us to do what we love with people we adore. I’m so looking forward to what will come in 2013. There is something about the fresh outlook and anticipation a new year brings and I wanted to share some of my 2013 giddiness by giving away a full day of wedding photography coverage by yours truly and my handsome second-shooter (aka my super-talented husband, James). We are hoping to reach out to brides and grooms all over the world who are planning a wedding day that will be filled to the brim with heart.

Again, we are SO excited about this and we hope you are too!
Lezlie and Justin.
Justin and Lezlie.
Just thinking about how sweet these two are together makes me smile.
The three of us got together a couple of weeks ago in Farmers Branch for their engagement session that started out with a picnic because picnics are kind of “their thing.” They went on a picnic on their first date and they also enjoyed a picnic right before Justin proposed. Fweet!
Having a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows may have segued into  a marshmallow fight of sorts . . .
Can we talk about how great an outfit choice Lezlie made by adding in that pop of pattern and color with that gorgeous scarf? Loved. it.
JUST LOOK AT THOSE ADORABLE FACES?? Are those not the most adorable facial expressions ever?
Justin is a fellow lover of photography, as well as a super-talented videographer. James and I have worked several weddings with Justin Lowe Productions, and love referring him to our brides and grooms for wedding videography.
Root beer is another one of Justin and Lezlie’s “things” so we integrated it into the session as well.
One snazzy outfit change later, we wrapped up the second half of the shoot.
 Lezlie and Justin — April cannot come quickly enough because I cannot WAIT to have the two of y’all back in front of my camera again. I’m sure that’s the only reason y’all are looking forward to April as well, right? ]
Happy Friday, all!

I barely even had time to look forward to Christina and Jeff’s Old Red Courthouse wedding. Within three months of Christina’s initial e-mail to me we had met up at a coffee shop, taken engagement pictures and were now meeting back up together the morning of their wedding for the big event!
These pictures of Christina getting ready all-smiles are a true reflection of her sweet, cheery disposition.
The getting ready process finished up just in time to squeeze in a few pictures of Christina with her bridesmaids and Jeff with his groomsmen before the ceremony began.
I love these emotion-filled images James captured of Christina and her dad right before the doors opened to the ceremony.
Sweet, sweet just married smiles.
After wiping away some happy tears, we took some time for some bride-groom portraits before heading into the reception.
Because Christina and Jeff’s venue was just crawling with photographic opportunities, they opted to take a few minutes to sneak out of the reception for a few more bride-groom portraits around the Old Red Courthouse.
 Christina and Jeff, it was nothing but a pleasure to work with y’all.
James and I don’t have a single doubt in our minds that y’all are
absolutely.
perfect.
for each other.
