This shoot was another one postponed by bad weather, and instead of taking place here in Nacogdoches, we ended up meeting in Kingwood the morning after my best friend got married.

It was such a great shoot for so many reasons….

1. I got to see gorgeous Ruth again (I took her senior portraits when she graduated from SFA).

2. I got to meet her sweet fiancé, Mario. This guy is a trooper who showed up for a sunrise shoot on about 2 hours from sleep due to work. He never let on that he was exhausted, and you could tell Ruth was his motivation for that. So sweet!

3. I got to go back to the same location where Max and I took our engagement photos, and where I’ve done a few other shoots for some dear people in my life.

Love. Love. Love.

Such a great looking couple, am I right?!?!

LOVE this one!!! Seriously, Ruth, you’re stunning!!!

Ruth’s ring is b-e-a-utiful, y’all. And I swear, these two look like they could have just stepped right out of a magazine.

Another favorite for sure…

Ruth & Mario, I wish you both nothing but the best!!! I pray you enjoy each and every day leading up to your wedding, each and every moment of your wedding day, and many many many years to come as husband and wife! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me to capture this amazing time in your lives.
