A few weeks ago, stunning bride Kelly and handsome groom Alex tied the knot at The Waters Point, just outside Wimberley, Texas.

The bride getting dressed for a wedding. Here’s a showcase of my favorite images. For me, always one of the most anticipated parts of the wedding day. After months of searching for the perfect dress, followed by fittings and finding the right accessories, all lead to this moment, a custom in its own right. These…

Here’s Avery and Daniel’s gorgeous spring wedding at The Argyle. Avery and Daniel met as freshmen at A&M University, became great friends, and after a bit of a while, Daniel asked Avery out by playing a song for her in front of, oh, just 200 people! Three years later, in May 2020, Daniel proposed to…
I loved working with Dominique and Joe, tying the knot at the Sacred Heart Chapel and reception followed at Kendall Point, Boerne! They met at work over pizza. It started with small talk here and there. One night, Joe spontaneously asked Dominique if she would like to go to a dance hall with him and…

Here’s Beth and Jake’s beautiful Jewish wedding. We started at an Airbnb, and the ceremony was at 13 Celsius, a chill lounge, and a favorite bar of Beth and Jake’s. So it made perfect sense to have their wedding ceremony at this location. Their late afternoon reception took place back at the Airbnb. As with…

Maeve and Tat tied the knot a couple of weeks ago at The Grand Ballroom, New Braunfels, Texas. The couple first met at Rackspace in San Antonio, Texas. I loved working with this down to earth couple.

Days after the news of his death, friends and fellow photographers of Reg met and chose to create a one-time limited print sale of personally selected works. 100% of the proceeds from these prints will be…
These are my favorite wedding images of 2019, most of these are unposed images and free of photographers’ direction, full of emotion pictures that document a couple’s story. Every year (see more from 2018 and 2017), like any photographer, I’ll work on areas of weakness and eliminate mistakes while pushing creatively. It is, after all, about ‘seeing.‘ It’s…
