Every love story is special. Let me tell yours!

Photos from Linda and Mauricio's wedding on Friday at Canyon Lake, Texas. I just adore this couple! They are so sweet, fun and spontaneous. They have the most romantic love story, let me share it with you. Linda and Mauricio found each other on a popular online dating website. After dating for a few months, they went to have coffee and ended up buy a house that same afternoon!

Shortly after that, they got engaged. Mauricio proposed to Linda with a huge, 10ct. ring pop! They decided to get married at their mother's beautiful vacation home, over looking the lake with a small group of their friends and family. You can genuinely see the love and friendship between them. Congratulations to the happy couple. I am so grateful I was able to be a part of their special day. Here are some of my favorites :) If you would like information on my wedding packages, send me an email to: msv1013@gmail.com or call me at: (512) 910-5592

Austin Couples Photography: Alexis & Austin

Sneak peeks from last week's session with my friends, Alexis & Austin. These two are celebrating their 6 month wedding anniversary! They've also been living in Austin for about the same amount of time. I thought it would be perfect to document this event by photographing them at some iconic downtown locations that included some beautiful art murals in the city of Austin. These two were amazing to work with and so comfortable in front of the camera. I had so much fun on this shoot and I loved working with them! Here are some of my favorites.

Austin Wedding Photography: Beverly & Brian

Sneak peeks from Beverly & Brian's wedding on Friday, June 3rd at the beautiful Chapel Dulcinea in Austin, Texas. I'm really excited to share these photos with you! It was such a beautiful ceremony with such a sweet couple. It had been raining for several days before, but it finally stopped and the sun came out for a gorgeous day! Beverly and Brian are the type of people who enjoy the little things in life, cooking, watching movies, and just spending time together. Beverly and Brian both have kids from previous marriages. With this union, they are bringing their families together (almost like the Brady Brunch) with 2 boys and 4 girls. I am so happy for them! Here are some of my favorites ;)
