Vintage DIY Wedding

This Vintage DIY wedding took place in Snyder, Texas.  Every bit of the details were done mostly if not all by the bride. The invitations and banners were made by her too! She is a super talented graphic designer and pulled out all the cards for this joyous occasion.  Over time, Whitney collected vintage pieces for their wedding.  She worked hard collecting these pieces and I love how she designed and decorated the whole day. The reception area included an ice cream parlor and a super chic candy bar.  Check it out below!

Texas Country Chic Wedding.Jordan and Sunny

Jordan and Sunny's wedding was a dream for me. They are one of the most genuine couples and I loved working with them and meeting their families.Their Texas Country Chic wedding took place in Rotan, TX. This is where they met back in junior high. They took different roads through out high school and college, but love kept them close enough to reconnect. Jordan currently plays for the Cincinnati Bengal's NFL football team, and played college footbal for Univeristy of Texas in Austin.  AND Sunny is a super talented country song writer.  Ever heard of  "Oh Tonight"?  Ya well, she is responsible for that.   These two are both so talented, but the thing that makes me like them the most is how humble they both are. God has great things planned for these two.

Underground Embassy Bridal Shoot.Whitney

Whitney came down from Indiana for her bridal shoot. We went to one of the coolest places in Clovis, the Underground Embassy. It is an art gallery showcasing Drew Merritt's work and a look into his mind. It is an amazing backdrop to have for a bridal shoot and I was so thankful when they gave us permission to use their place for Whitney's session.Whitney and her husband were married in June in Snyder, Texas at the Windmill Ranch Preserve.

Whitney you were a beautiful bride the day of your bridal shoot and a beautiful one the day you got married. I love your style and the way everything turned out! I look forward to sharing your wedding with the internet world soon.

Snyder Texas Wedding.Eric and Whitney

You gotta love Texas on a super hot day-not really, but I did love Eric and Whitney's wedding!The image on the left is just one of the many great finds Whitney found as she explored for vintage, and antique pieces for their wedding decor. The image on the right is one of my favorites. They were giving each other their gifts and Whitney teared up as she opened the heart shaped locket Eric had given her.
