Beautiful dress, check. Hair flower for the new señora, check. Happiest Groom in the world, check. Best day of her life, check.
Did I say beautiful dress? I meant amazingly gorgeous piece of couture-esque wedding fabulousness with raw silk sheen. Ahh. I would seriously put this on and edit weddings in it if it were in my closet right now. But mainly I would look at myself in the mirror and make bridal oohs and aahs at myself while doing ballerina twirls and making royal wedding waves at the imaginary crowd. I don’t mind if any of you steal my suggestions.
The way he loves her can’t really be described in words. At least, not as well as it can in a photograph.
This was one of the moments, despite the heat or the rush to get to the reception or the noise of my camera clicking, where the world seemed to just stop. They were able to breathe each other in and to finally let the I am married-ness start to sink in, however fairy tale-ish it may have felt thus far. I hope that they both took a mental snapshot of this portion of their wedding day and have held on to that feeling since then, keeping it at the front of their minds to let the weddingness stay there as long as possible.
But if not, they have this picture.
And this one.
Ashley and Chris, we have more on the way! Lauren and Ryan, your sneak-peek is next! Plus all of those engagement sessions…and weddings…and more weddings…ahhh so many gorgeous pretties are on my computer! I hope it can contain them all!
Happy Weekend! XOXO, Lauren and Will

Before I get to the field part, we must take a moment of silence to observe this Maggie Sottero gown in all of its gown-al, bridal beauty. And the fact that it was made for Jenna. Who just so happens to be a Maggie Sottero bridal gown model. Now, anyway. Because I said. Her Mom Paula agrees with me.
The tiny, delicate, soft rosettes on Jenna’s shoes. I’d like to take them, shrink them down using Willy Wonka’s Shrinking Machine, and make a necklace out of them to wear every day. Not just the rosettes. The shoes.
I was happy that Jenna chose this one for the Fine Art Gallery Wrap at the wedding. It’s my favorite.
The trees and the sunlight framing Jenna.
Jenna floats through the field on a cloud of silk. Soft, creamy, silky silk.
This one’s my second favorite. One thing about Texas; it may be hot, but we’ve got the best nature over any state. Our tall grass can’t be beat because it comes with trees.
Warm and wispy.
A feather, a birdcage veil, and chandelier earrings. Enough said.
Nathan will love this one. Of his WIFE.
Jenna’s makeup was done for these and for the wedding by Shannon Caldwell, Airbrush Makeup Extraordinaire. She doesn’t call herself that; I do. She does only the airbrush makeup, which we love most in pictures for obvious reasons.
Now email her if you don’t have a makeup artist yet and you plan to look stunning/beautiful/soft/pretty/alloftheabove on your wedding day: shannon@something-you.com
I don’t get paid to say that; we like to share the pretty and the {good} professional when we know it is available to you. You can thank us later.
Ever since we bought our vintage couch, I had been wanting to photograph it in a field with a fabulous, laughing bride on it. When Jenna set up her bridal session (to be held in a field, no less), I knew she was such a bride. Nathan’s Dad Doug gets Father-In-Law-Of-The-Year-Award for helping us transport it in his truck and moving it to all of the locations I pointed at because he probably didn’t know what he was getting himself into when he agreed to this (brides and vintage couches don’t just appear in fields magically, you know :) A shout out and a great big thank you for use of your truck and your muscles, Doug! And Paula, MOB-of-the-Year for being the other fourth of our four-part entourage and helping keep the pretty!
You look stunning, Jenna.
One more gown shot for those who are still looking for their wedding dresses and need ideas. Taken at Our Old Stomping Grounds because a) the management likes us, and b) we still have the key. New tenant of #503, you maaay want to change your locks ;) Did you like our dark red, hot pink, tiffany blue, and princess purple walls that we left for you? I bet you had fun painting over those. Heheheee.
By the way, I want my wall hooks back. Heheeee again; j/k. Will actually refused to take those down because he’d prefer for me to buy new $48 dollar hooks instead of unscrewing them himself. Will, you give me no choice. Our clients deserve the best. And now, until you buy me the new hooks (yes, I’ve decided that you need to be the one to go out and buy them now), they will know when they see the gold one that you still haven’t done it yet.
