Real Weddings: Kristopher + Ashley
We have some gorgeous Texas wedding inspiration for you today courtesy of the uber-fab Lauren Clark Photography!
Kristopher and Ashley were married at the Baylor Chapel in Waco, with the reception at Vera Estates.
I am in love with Ashley’s amazing champagne gown.

The First Look
We just received the first set of our photos back from Melanie and I couldn’t wait to share them with all of you!

Hello again!
I still can’t quite believe it when I say it, but I’m a married lady now! A “Mrs.”! After all, at 30, I had come to think that I may never get married. And I was okay with it. I was okay because I knew I hadn’t met the one for me yet, and rather than get married just to be married, I …

Location, Location, Location!
With our vision and inspiration board in place, we were ready to start planning. The first step was choosing a wedding date. Because we wanted to keep costs as low as possible, we decided to get married on a Sunday and also keep our wedding to 75 guests or less. We were both very clear that we wanted immediate family …

Ceremony Decor
One of the reasons we chose our venue was because of the giant stone fireplace downstairs in the Great Room. Since we’re not getting married in a church, I thought the fireplace would be really pretty to get married in front of.
*That’s my Mom, who’s 5’6″, standing in front of the fireplace.
The next step in the equation was to figure …

Real Weddings: Cara + John 5.24.08
Cara and John were married at her family’s beautiful ranch in Camp Verde, TX and who better to capture their event than the fantastic Brooke Schwab? I am absolutely smitten with Cara’s Amsale gown - it’s one of my very favorite dresses.

Saving the Date
Once we decided that the lace handkerchief paisley design would be our inspiration, I knew that I wanted to put it on all of our print pieces. We started looking at different invitation vendors for a good Save the Date format. I knew that I wanted to include a photo of us, a guide to Greenville, and a schedule of …

The Search For That Perfect Dress
I don’t think it’s any secret that the most fun part about wedding planning for a newly engaged woman is shopping for the dress. Because my parents live in Dallas, I was so excited that I could spend time with my mom and search for gorgeous fashion in the South’s most fashionable city.
I made appointments at Patsy’s Bridal, Warren Barron …

First up, the dress designed by Melissa Sweet. Doesn’t Rachel look radiant?!
The Happy …

Real Weddings: Lindsay + Alex 4.19.08
Brooke Schwab is absolutely one of our favorite photographers. Not only is she insanely talented behind the camera, but the weddings that she shoots are just phenomenal. Those colored shoes ? Yep, that was one of her weddings (Laura was shooting alongside Brooke for that event).
Brooke sent us yet another absolutely gorgeous wedding that we just had to share with you! I …

Real Weddings: Jacqui + Alfredo 3.15.08
We have a lovely real Southern wedding for you today shot by the very talented Brooke Schwab.
Jacqui and Alfredo were married in Hempstead, Texas at a family ranch. Wow, did they have a gorgeous setting!

Wedding Photography
I have to admit that choosing a wedding photographer was one of the biggest decisions for us. Photography is important to both Chris and I, and we both wanted beautiful pictures to look back on, but it was a little daunting to find that right person to capture our day. There seems to be so many photographers out there and unless …
