I am working on this wedding and getting it ready to share on Laiken and Matt's wedding gallery, and I just had to let you all take a peek.I absolutely love them!
On a hot summer day we took Laiken's bridal pictures out in the country. It was a day I'm sure she will never forget. Not because the session was so wonderful and memorable, but it was the moments leading up to the session.As she was on her way to our meet up location, she and her mom came upon a car wreck. Laiken is also an OR nurse at UMC in Lubbock, Texas. She was already dressed in her wedding dress, but as they pulled up on the wreck, she knew she had to stop and help. I wish I was there to take pictures of her putting her nursing skills to use, in her wedding dress. That just shows you her heart. She cared more about the people and less about getting her wedding dress dirty. So for that, I love this session and this girl. She is one of a kind.

The most beautiful people in the world are those with confidence. I think this gorgeous bride exudes beauty inside and out.Happy Wednesday! 
Kaci chose a blush pink wedding dress for her big day. It's so beautiful and unique and Kaci was stunning in it. Southern Elegance Design styled the perfect white bridal bouquet with peonies and roses to match the elegance of Kaci's dress.I mean, how gorgeous is she?!
How gorgeous is Haleigh and her beautiful blush and cream wedding bouquet. What colors are going in your flower arrangements for your wedding?
I LOVE wedding flowers, and I especially loves these because the brides sister designed them herself. Didn't she do great? 
Stephanie is a stunning bride. Her beauty is beyond gorgeous. I mean can we all say "WOW"!! I also received the sweetest email from her and it blessed me tremendously. (below) Thank you a thousand times over.
"The pictures are positively stunning!! I'm so thankful that I got the chance to work with you. You were the best decision we made for the wedding. I keep finding myself going back and looking at the pictures over and over again because you couldn't have done a better job at capturing the amazing moments that Kirk and I will always cherish. From five years ago at my sisters wedding, to the family portraits, to my own wedding, you continue to be an inspiration and a blessing in our lives. God has truly blessed my family with you and your amazing talents. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being such a wonderful part of this special time in our lives!!"
I'm working on this wedding and felt like I needed to share a peek of Stephanie's bridal shoot. I mean, come on! Bombshell beauty!! 
This bridal shoot started off with a little surprise from the bride's father. As she walked the halls in Hotel Clovis, she didn't know he would be there, and when she walked out the tears started flowing from both of them. (And me too) It was such as sweet moment.Samantha is a stunning bride and I'm so thankful to work with people like her. I know God sends me clients for a reason, and she has been a blessing to work for. She illuminates beauty from the inside out. Thank you Samantha for choosing me to photograph your bridal shoot and your wedding day. Both events were so enjoyable to be apart of.
Here is what she had to say when she saw her wedding photographs:
"Cristy,
I just wanted to let you know how unbelievably grateful I am for you!! You absolutely captured the beauty in our big day so perfectly! I'm blown away by all the beautiful shots that you took. You're the bomb dot com. Thank you so very much for being one of the biggest parts of our wedding day. Because of you, we will have photos to cherish and remember every detail of that day. Thank you so much again!"

Growing up, Emily was a bit of a tomboy. She spent lots of time at her grandpas farm in Dalhart, Texas. It is a special place to her, and she wanted to have her bridals taken there. One summer she was there, she gained a friend, a horse named Buddy (chestnut color below) She was there when he was born, and he would lay his head on her lap.She also shared a story of skinning a snake at the farm with her Papa and brother and sister. "Pretty big change from back then to wearing a fancy white lace dress out there...but might explain a little more why the 'tomboy' came out so much that day", says Emily. You would almost think she wasn't wearing a wedding dress, but instead jeans and a t-shirt the way she went around the farm. Her second nature of just being there kicked in and it was like she was 12 years old again.
She wears beauty so well.
Megan, a small town Texas girl, came all the way to Clovis for her romantic bridal shoot. She is stunning in her dress, and SHE gave it the romantic look. Megan's dark hair and olive skin make her look like she's from Spain, but she's not ha. Thanks to the Underground Embassy for letting us use your awesome art gallery. It was the perfect set up for what we wanted to achieve for her romantic bridal shoot.
This shoot is featured on The Wedding Chicks!
This weekend we photographed Krystal and Andy's wedding at Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa. I am looking forward to sharing them with you.For now, take a look at Krystal's beautiful photographs from her bridal shoot. I love the handmade vintage wedding ideas.
By the way, her mom made the broach/jewelry bouquet. She is one talented lady!
This bridal shoot was special. It was special, because I knew Anjelica when she was in high school, which has been like five years ago or so. She is now a college graduate and just got married last weekend. She makes one gorgeous bride thats for sure!!We did her shoot at Overton Hotel for the first half and then moved on to the Garden and Arts Center in Lubbock. She was absolutely stunning.
Just look at her!
Also, a HUGE thanks to my sweet friend Linda Schilberg for helping me with this shoot.
Kristen and Jacob got married this weekend in Oklahoma. Congratulations to you two! A few weeks back I went up there for her bridal shoot and she took me to Heritage Hills. Gorgeous gorgeous homes!! Amazing architecture and a beautiful bride equaled to a fabulous shoot. Her dress was custom made and was perfectly fit for Kristen by a very crafty seamstress in Oklahoma.
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.
