No fluff, no affiliate links, no must-have lists of stuff you, uh, definitely don’t “must have.” Just honest advice about Texas venues I actually love, planning tips that might save your sanity, and real weddings that’ll remind you why you’re doing this whole thing in the first place.
Scroll on for venue guides that tell it like it is, planning advice you’ll actually use, and stories from couples who created celebrations that felt true to them, not true to Pinterest.
We had the absolute best experience working with Rach! She has such a bright energy about her and we had a blast with her. She is so kind, patient, talented, hardworking, and knowledgeable. She knows her stuff and has the best ideas! The photos turned out better than I could’ve ever imagined, and they’re plastered in canvas all over our home! Her kindness and patience helped ease the wedding day stress tenfold. I really don’t think I would’ve made it through the day without all of her help and encouragement! She’ll definitely be our first pick when it’s time for vow renewals! 10/10 experience!
We were lucky enough to hit it off with her, and had a blast. From hiking to making us feel comfortable enough to get the BEST candid shots. You can’t go wrong booking with her, and she will make your day memorable as well as the most comfortable and enjoyable experience.
I was so anxious about forgetting something on the day of, but Rachel planned for EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL and I got to relax and be present in the moment with my husband on the day because of it!
As your wedding photographer, I’m more interested in real moments than manufactured ones, and I’m guessing you are too. You know—the unplanned, unposed, couldn’t-recreate-it-if-you-tried kind of moments that make your day un-freaking-mistakably yours.
Maybe you’re nodding along because you also care more about having an amazing celebration than perfect photos (plot twist: this is exactly how you get amazing photos!).
Or maybe you’re relieved to find a photographer who won’t make you fake-laugh or spend hours posing while your guests wonder where you disappeared to.
I document weddings for couples who want to remember how their day actually felt—the nerve-citedness, the happy tears and ugly cries, the way your whole crew went absolutely nuts when your favorite song came on. No staging, no interrupting, just the full, perfectly imperfect story of your day.

Because your wedding is not a photoshoot.
