Jonathan + Kate | Austin Wedding Photographer

Miraculously comfortable summer temperatures, the smell of barbeque and shade of century-old oaks made Jo and Kate's wedding a Texas treasure! The beautiful bride radiated with her groom in site as she walked down that long stone path. One of the most content people I know, being with her groom makes Kate spill over with joy.

The Salt Lick was a fabulous backdrop that seeped southern hospitality on their Labor Day weekend wedding. A fellow photographer, Kate planned her wedding perfectly. With intimate details around every corner, guests were greeted with little pieces of the couple's personalities and found them until they sent the couple off.

And personality is not something they lack. Get anywhere near Jo and Kate and you'll find yourself laughing out loud in a matter of minutes. So much fun, Jo and Kate even postponed their honeymoon to catch an Aggie football game the day after their wedding.

I was so thankful to be a part of this couple's big day. These two are so well-loved, and I'll tell you what... it is very well-deserved.

Instead of a wedding cake, the couple surprised Jo's mom on her 60th birthday with a cake for her. Guests were thrilled to have a second reason to celebrate.

Mikala + Luke | Houston Wedding Photographer

Guess what...This is our 100th blog post!! I think a celebration is in order. Throw on your summer duds and head out to the scorching heat to party!

Or if you'd rather keep your skin, stay right here and celebrate by reading about this lovely couple and their WEDDING DAY!

She told me her favorite color was red. She also let me know that their first dance would be worth capturing on camera. Though she may have mentioned that she loved her groom, nothing would prepare me for how Mikala looks at Luke. The way this couple loves one another is evident in so much more than their super fun first dance complete with a beautifully rehearsed dip to finish it off.

Photographing the union of these two gave me a physical image of sweet contentment. Mikala and Luke were made to fit perfectly in each others arms. At just a glimpse of this new family anyone would tell you, they belong together.

In addition, this whole crew knows how to enjoy life, and they graciously invite others to experience it with them. Mikala and Luke's family and friends exude overwhelming kindness that made me feel so welcomed and loved. Thank you, M+L, for including me into your big day!

The red roses abounding were hardly the most beautiful thing on the alter July 15, 2011. I think you'll agree, Mikala and Luke are gorgeous!
