Kerrville, TX: Sarah & Ryan

On a bright and VERY sunshiny day, as the temperature rose, so did the excitement.  Sarah, quiet but bold, excited but calm, waited with baited breath to marry the man she knew was to be hers for a lifetime.  "It seems like a dream" she stated many times over.  He was there for her.  Through it all, thick, thin and everything in between.  Life has it's ups and downs and sometimes, those downs seem more frequent than the ups.  "He stuck.  No matter how hard it got, he stuck with me.  He's honest and he loves me.  That's all I've ever dreamed of, someone to love me [just like that]."  I admire her honesty.  It's not often that this and a deep rooted faith are the most important qualities one seeks after.

This gentle spirit, sweet and loving attitude is what drew him to her.  She was different than anyone he knew.  In fact, when they finally met in person, he had a feeling deep inside that THIS was the one!  Love at first sight seems like such a cliche, love at first site.... is becoming more common.  No matter what you call it, no matter how you find it, it is something to be cherish and held onto.  "I prayed... He heard and He answered," simply stated, heart felt and truer than any other statement he could have made.  I think I see what Sarah means.  Honesty is a fabulous trait :)

These two are beautiful together and share a love that can hold fast.  They are tethered by time, trial and trust.  Trust in one another and trust in a power greater than themselves... Christ.   With Him as the center and anchor, all things are possible.  Especially when finding a mate, especially the one He exclusively designed... just for you ♥

Simply elegant, Sarah gracefully took center stage in her beautiful gown from David's Bridal (detail shot by Toni Maisano).

Yep, that's yours truly :)  I wore many hats; photographer, baby sitter, makeup artist (haha) and best of all, friend :D

Hmmm, how does the photographer do the makeup and get pics as well???  I was so blessed to have Toni Maisano agree to second shoot for me!  She did an unbelievable job!

What a stunning bride!  Just look at that gorgeous smile!!!

The gorgeous floral arrangements were created by Judy of "Sonshine Weddings".  She wore many hats as well; decorator, floral designer and GORGEOUS cake baker extraordinaire!

Isn't that the most resplendent shade of purple you have EVER seen?!?

 Toni was able to take these two (separately, lol!) to grab some shots and grab some shots she did!!!

Establish in 1885, this quaint, adorable, country church was the perfect setting!

What a thrill it was to have Pastor McGee perform the services :)  All the way from Hill Country Fellowship in Burnet, Tx.  He's a wonderful man!

Toni caught the most fab shot in the limo!!!

We moved over to the Cailloux Building on the Shreiner Campus for the reception (actually the same place we did makeup).

The food was all prepared by Sodexo, Schreiners dining emporium

See what I mean???  Judy has been doing this for over 30yrs and she is FAN-TAB-U-LOUS!!!!

The bride and maid of honor have daughters that are 3mths apart... sooooo CUTE!!!!

Sarah, Ryan.... I can't tell you how privileged I am to have had the opportunity to document this most special, most beautiful, most important day for you.  Sure do love y'all!!!!
