A Proposal Story: Fernando & Daniella

Fernando & Daniella started out as high-school sweet hearts and have been together for about 6 1/2 years now. Both of them are living and working in Houston. Fernando knew he had found his match and decided to pop the question to Daniella, at Mt. Bonnell over looking the Colorado River and beautiful Austin city skyline. At first, she had no idea. He was very casual about it. While they were admiring the view, he reached into his back pocket and got down on one knee. When she turned around, Daniella was so surprised! She had no idea and started crying tears of joy. And of course, she said YES!! Congratulations you two! Here are some of my favorites from our session.

A Wedding Story: Judy & Scott

Sneak peeks from Judy & Scott's 10-year wedding celebration in Austin, Texas! These two got married in the Philippines 10 years ago, to the date. In honor of their anniversary, they decide to have a wedding/vow renewal with their friends and family. Their three kids participated in the wedding, as well. They have two boys and an adorable 3-year-old daughter. So cute! Their wedding had a high-end, luxury, Italian style to it. It was very elegant.

Judy looked so stunning in her dress! She got ready at the beautiful, Hotel Granduca Austin. Then we drove down to St. Catherine of Siena Chapel, where they were married and some tears were shead. Following the ceremony, we headed to the Trattoria Lisina in Driftwood, for some delicious Italian food. The experience was amazing and everyone was so nice! We even got some really fun sunset photos at the end of it all. Their wedding was beautiful, and a true celebration of their love and dedication to one another. I'm so happy I had a chance to meet them and photograph all these memorable moments! Here are some of my favorites, enjoy.
