Chesley & Andy | Bella Sera Ranch Wedding
Chesley & Andy | Bella Sera Ranch Wedding

Chesley & Andy are one of my most favorite couples I have ever photographed.  They are super kind and have such great hearts I loved being there with them on their 1st day of their marriage.

Bella Sera Ranch, a terrific place to get married.


If you remember their engagement session you know these two love food.  I was not surprised to find a nice little table of sweets.

Custom root beer bottles?  Of course.  (Get your own here.)

Pennies are a big deal to Chesley & Andy.  They have collected them, traded them and even have a fireplace decorated with them.  I knew I wanted to work them into their ring shot somehow.

A rainy First Look.
Loved the different dresses and shoes.

One of the guys forgot his shoes so he had to go buy some last minute.  We all pointed and made fun of him.

Loved this moment between Andy & Chesley’s niece.

Speaking of the little people.  How off the wall cute are these two.  (She kept showing me her grapes.)

Lots and lots of dancing thanks to CMB DJs.

The Mug Machine was also there in full force.  Check back Monday for those photos.

This past Sunday I shot my first wedding at Bella Sera Ranch and I loved it.  I can’t wait to get back there.  (Yes, I’m looking at you Chesley & Andy).  Anyway, all you brides out there in the Palestine/East Texas area really should go out and take a look.  They have an amazing venue.  Here is a shot of their historic style Chapel.


Christa brought plenty of blingdom to the day.

A few from their First Look.

They read their vows off their phones & after the minister pronounced them man and wife they updated their Facebook status to married. :)

As always, CMB DJs did an amazing job.

You two were so much fun.  Thanks for trusting me with your day.

2010 September Rewind

Last September was an insanely fun month.  I had 2 weddings, 1 engagement session and my first Rock the Frock day after session.  OH, and we also went to DisneyWorld.  :)  A HUGE happy 1 year to Jamie & Steven along with Jessica & Rob.  You guys were some of my favorites couples form last year.

I figure you wanna see a few photos but then the main reason you are hear is to watch our home movie from the trip. :)

Carrie & Aaron were just married at the Villa di Felicita in Tyler and I’m super glad they invited me.  They are two of the nicest people I have been able to work with.  And one of them is even a lawyer.  Fancy that! ;)


I’ve taken a photo similar to this one before but just could not resist doing it again. :)

Lots of laughing and smiling at their First Look.

If you love this bouquet from La Tee Da Flowers raise your hand.  (Look at all those hands.)

AMAZING cake from Frosted Art.

More amazing florals from La Tee Da.

I love this shot of Aaron laughing at Carrie as she gets hairsprayed to death.

Big shout out to Casey from CMB DJs for all the great music.
