the story:

Their wedding weekend began on Lake Travis, where their welcome party and rehearsal dinner unfolded aboard a boat at sunset. It couldn’t have been more fitting for them—a blend of celebration, storytelling, and intentional time with their people. I loved documenting those early moments: the laughter drifting through the boat, the way they lit up around their closest circle, and the sense of community that wrapped around them. And because their celebration fell on Halloween weekend, the evening naturally flowed into a spirited costume after-party, filled with energy and personality. It was such a joy to capture their world exactly as it is—fun, bold, and brimming with life.

The next day at the stunning Barr Mansion felt just as organic and heartfelt. Their ceremony and reception carried a warmth that could only come from a couple who loves deeply and hosts wholeheartedly. As their guests celebrated them—with speeches, dancing, and endless laughter—it became so clear how cherished Sara and John are. Photographing these moments was effortless because everything about the day felt alive and genuine. Their reception quickly became one of the most unforgettable parties I’ve documented. Being invited into this season of their lives—from their engagement session all the way through their wedding weekend—was incredibly meaningful to me. Capturing their story was an honor, and witnessing the love they’ve built together is something I won’t soon forget.
