If you weren't able to make it to The Patio on Mercer's Open House this past Friday, then you missed a fun night of food, cocktails, music, and their wonderfully themed evening, "A Hill Country Affair."

Caryn and Jayson were married in January and had a super fun wedding at The Alden Hotel. I loved whenever I had a meeting with Caryn. She loves dessert and whenever she talked about her wedding cupcakes and the unique flavors she had selected, my mouth watered! Are you ready for this: spiced cayenne dark chocolate with cinnamon cream frosting cupcakes, bacon dark chocolate with maple cream frosting cupcakes, AND orea cookie cheese cake! Jayson has a love for tennis shoes...but not just any regular shoe you can get at the mall. He loves limited edition tennis shoes. He loves them so much that he had this rare shoe in a display case at the wedding! I had so much fun with them and I loved how much her guests enjoyed the little photo station we set up!

Ly and David met up with me on a cold and rainy day. I told them we could reschedule, but nope...they were troopers! We ended up having a good time despite the chilly winds and random raindrops. I can't wait to photograph their wedding in March!

Sarah and Doug's wedding was so much fun to shoot. These two are really cool and so laid back. Every time I met with them, whether it was for meetings or portrait sessions, they were always so relaxed...and oh so in love! I had a great time photographing their day at The UH Hilton. They partied the night away and made sure their guests were able to be silly, let loose, and have fun!

Miss L contacted me before the holidays for a boudoir session for her boyfriend. She was really sweet and a little nervous. While she was getting her hair and makeup done by the Blush and Glow team, I worked on calming her nerves by chatting with her about the shoot, what she would expect, and that I'd literally be posing with her so that she'd know what look I was going for. Yeah that got her laughing! I'm positive it worked because as soon as we started talking through her outfit choices and got started shooting, she totally had fun with it!
