Margie and Kiddo's
I met Margie and her sweet kids at ACU. We hung out for a while and took some fun pics. I have an affinity for Chuck Taylor Converse as one of my kids loves his more than any other earthly possession. Whenever I get the opportunity to make the Chuck Taylor's the star in a photo or two I jump at the chance. Enjoy this sweet family.

Katie and Blake Wedding Day 2
I posted a sneak peak of Katie and Blake's wedding day on the previous post. Here are some more blogamazing images. Each time I look at these images I am simply amazed at all the lovely nooks and crannies at The Marquardt Ranch.
Not only do they have the bell tower but there is an amazing backdrop to the wedding, getting ready rooms are beautifully decorated, everything perfect. Katie and Blake are precious and their sweet, fun loving personalities shine through in these images. Slideshow to be up on Friday or Monday.
Katie's dress fit the location perfectly, beautiful with a bit of a Spanish flair.
The rings are dreamy. Love the colors in this image.
Katie's cousin did a great job with Katie's make up. Katie is a beautiful bride.
Katie was peeking out the window here.
Katie and Blake decided to see each other and do all the pictures before the wedding. Here is the First Glance of Blake seeing Katie for the first time.
Katie and Blake gave each other their wedding day presents before the wedding. Blake gave Katie a beautiful Bible and Katie gave blake a leather bound journal that she had written in. She had filled it with letters to Blake and prayers she had written on behalf of Blake. It was a very emotional time and there were tears gently falling down cheeks in these following images.
The wedding party. I love the colors. Everyone looked amazing.
Katie and her dad. I have cried at least 3 times while viewing this image. To catch this exchange of looks between a daddy and his oldest daughter before he is to walk her down the aisle and give her away in is such a blessing to me. These moments in time have been frozen never to be forgotten.
The following day was Father's Day. Katie was speaking into the card she was going to give to her dad. She was wishing him a happy Father's day, and he would hear it from her on the card even though she would be on a plane travelling to her honeymoon. Katie's mom is in the background in this image. Her dress is beautiful, she was radiant as the mother of the bride.
Katie is watching the guests walk up to the ranch shortly before the wedding would start.
Isn't this an amazing backdrop for the wedding???
This little boy did his best to keep himself occupied during the wedding. He was gathering all of the rose petals and stacking them into a mountain, and secretly without his family seeing him throwing them one at a time at the woman seated behind them. The pelt-ee was being very gracious pretending not to notice that she had flowers being pelted at her.
Love Katie's sister's expression in this. What a fun wedding ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs.
First Dance. Katie's cake in the background was made by her aunt, grandma, and grandpa. The cookie jar's next to it were Blake's "cake" filled with chocolate chip cookies.
The Getaway.

Sneak Peak Katie and Blake Wedding Day
Katie and Blake were married one week ago today at the Marquardt Ranch in Boerne, TX. The day was beautiful, the location amazing. Katie and Blake are a very fun couple. Blake is always making Katie laugh. I had hoped to have the full blog post up today, but alas this week was a bit crazier than most. So I am posting a teaser. 3 of my favorite pics of Katie and Blake. I will have the full blog post up at the beginning of next week, but until then enjoy these fun pics.
Katie and Blake chose to do their pictures before the wedding, perfect. They will have many fun pics to remember this time by. I also included the one of the famous Bell Tower pics. Many brides and grooms choose the Marquardt Ranch because of the picture taking opportunities with this beautiful bell tower, that is up VERY high. I had to climb up a ladder with camera gear in hand to be across from them on my own bell tower, then took their pics on theirs. The pictures are SO worth it, but let me tell you I was a little bit nervous.
Check back for more images on Monday or Tuesday.

Mr. and Mrs. Mack
This was the first night I met Mr. and Mrs. Mack (mother and father of the bride, Katie). The rehearsal had just finished and as the rest of the group were visiting, Mr. and Mrs. Mack went to the dance floor to practice their dancing for the reception. This picture says so much to me. The big cross over their heads reminds me that Christ is with them. The smile on Mrs. Mack's face shows that she is loving being in her husbands arms. There is so much romance on a wedding day, but to see a man and wife looking into each others eyes and seeing love and respect when many years stand between today and the day they were married is truly one of the most amazing blessings. Mr. and Mrs. Mack, may God shine upon each of you and fill your lives with His mercy and grace. Thank you for this moment in time.
