First wedding of 2022 is in the books and it was the perect day! kayla and dean are the type of people that just make you feel so comfortable! they are hilarious, sweet, and they share such a rare kind of love that i know will last a lifetime. i have felt deeply honored to capture such a significant time in their lives! kayla and dean are one of my all-time-favorite clients!


Kayla doing her first look in Christmas pjs, their families joy, the incredible dance party... its part of what made this day a perfect wedding day. We spent days prior to the wedding praying for good weather, and the sun was out! My day with them started when I arrived at The San Antonio Botanical Gardens, such a beautiful scene! I started out with details, as I tend to do on wedding days and then headed to take some photos of Kayla and her girls in their robes! Shortly after we proceeded to do a first look next to the Betty Kelso Center at the Botanical Gardens and surprised Dean with Christmas pjs instead of Kayla in her wedding dress! Let me tell you, they will never lack laughter and pure joy in their marriage. These two know how to be silly and just have fun!


But once we did the real first look, Dean could not take his eyes of Kayla. She looked absolutely stunning! Seriously, these two are the perfect match!


Check out some highlights from their wedding day:

Play any kind of spice girls and Spanish music and I'll be right along side the bride and groom + all the guests, dancing and pointing the camera!


Congrats Kayla and Dean, its been an absolute honor! I truly love you guys!

Thanks to all the incredible vendors who helped this day be magical
