For this session, I met up with Paige and Andrew on his Mom's land in the Texas Hill Country. Paige said she wanted a country feel for her pictures since they got married in Austin, they both went to UT, and she wore her boots with her wedding dress (a girl after my own heart ;-) so we had emailed back and forth quite a bit trying to find the perfect location. Then Paige remembered Andrew's Mom's land and when she texted me the pictures from her phone my little heart jumped. It seriously couldn't have been a better spot!
Paige and I actually used to work together, and about 2 years ago she asked me to photograph their engagements & wedding. I was so new as a photographer, I said yes to the engagements but didn't feel comfortable shooting her entire wedding. Well, 2 years later, she asked me if I would take some bridals and I was THRILLED! It means SO much to me to have a good friend ask me to take her pictures, and especially to come back and have me take them again!
Paige is such a classy, smart, beautiful person. Her session was the last one I did before we left for Washington and she graciously gave me the sweetest present to say goodbye and also as a congratulations for having my son. She had ordered a child's size desert boot for Mac that is the EXACT same boot Zach wears with his Army uniform. But the best part was that it was purchased through The Boot Campaign which is a charity that provides support for wounded American veterans. One of the absolute sweetest and most thoughtful gifts I've ever received!
Thanks for everything Paige and Andrew! I hope you LOVE your pictures!
Paige... you are seriously so gorgeous!
Isn't the land like a fairytale??
Yay! Paige looks so beautiful and HEY! I didn't know she gifted some of our Boot Campaign Boots! I love to hear stories like this, where boots touch the lives of the families who serve. Thanks to your husband for his service and to you for being willing to sacrifice your time with him so he can protect our freedoms! xoHeather
