Sarah and Eric's Texas wedding was beautiful. I loved traveling home to shoot a wedding and it was even more special to me because it was family. My mom and Sarah's dad are first cousins. I have only gotten to see my daughter Kate at a wedding a few times and this one was the best yet. She had the time of her life and even caught the bouquet. Sarah was beautiful and she is such a  wonderful person. Eric treats her like a princess and they are so cute! Their wedding was at Brookwood Community in Brookshire Texas. Brookwood is a beautiful community for special needs adults. Sarah's Uncle (my mom's cousion) Pat has lived there for many years. It was very special to the family for the wedding to be there. Unfortunately Sarah's Grandmother (my great aunt Chris) was too ill to be able to be at the wedding. I hope these pictures make her smile. This was a truly beautiful wedding.

While I was in Houston I also got the chance to take pictures of the Janson Family. It was so fun to see them again. I took family pictures for them 4 years ago and so much has changed. Little Layla was just a baby. It is really fun to watch families grow over the years since I have met them. I am honored when families invite me back time and time again to capture the milestones of their lives.

I shot Sarah and Eric's Engagement Session while I was in Texas. Sarah's grandma is my great aunt, so we are cousins I think. Even though we did not grow up together I remember how Aunt Chris would always refer to Sarah and her sister "Little Laura and Lisa". My grandma was always sick when I was growing up and Aunt Chris was often coming in town and we sat around the ICU waiting room. I am sure it wasn't really all the time but as a kid it felt like ALL the time. I actually just got an old clock from my parents that was from an old hospital waiting room. I wanted it because it reminds me sitting in a waiting room bored to tears just waiting for either Aunt Chris or Aunt Katherine to show up so there was something to do. She always brightened up the day. She was always dressed so pretty and she treated Lisa and I like her own grand-kids. We would always get $1 if our room was clean. Now she sends Kate and Will $5 in the mail from time to time and writes for them to clean their room. So all of that to say I adore Sarah and her Grandma. I can't wait for their wedding this summer. I am excited to photograph Sarah and Eric get married but also Aunt Chris and Sarah's Uncle (my mom's cousin) Pat. He was in a motorcycle accident many years ago and lives at Brookwood Community. The wedding will be there and that is so sweet to me.

GT Regan says:

Many thanks. The next best thing to being there. I am guessing that the many back-lit shots were intended to give a touch of reality. There is so much to like, Brae's hair, for example, and her bracelet, and the way she was holding on to Ken's arm with her ring showing.
