I am going to have to give you a little back story before I can get into the juicy details of the proposal.

Austin and I met in high school. I moved schools in April of my Junior year from Cy-Falls to Magnolia. I thought my life was ending. Seriously. Everything I worked so hard for that felt like the world was going to be gone in an instant and I would have to start all over. For those of you that don’t know I was super involved in FFA. Lucky me when I moved I got put into 2 Ag classes. 1st period was the Intro to Ag class with all freshman (remember I was a Junior), and 2nd period was fishing class (yep, Magnolia High School had a pond). Fast forward to second period, class empties out I stay in the same seat right at the front of class of course, and a new class comes in. I remember seeing this one boy walk in and sit in the front corner. When I got home that night my mom asked if there were any cute boys at school, I told her this one but he didn’t talk to me at all.

Finally after a couple of weeks it happened, that quiet boy in the corner talked to me. His name was Austin. Austin spent 6 months chasing after me and finally succeeded in September of our Senior year.

Look how cute we were at homecoming 😀 oh and how young Austin looks.

We dated for 4 1/2 years before he finally popped the big question.

I can remember the day like it was yesterday. I was sitting there working when I received this random text “lets go take bluebonnet pictures this weekend.” We had always talked about doing this but just never got around to it. He knew that when he proposed there had to be 3 conditions, 1. my hair must be done 2. my nails must be done, and 3. there has to be pictures. Whoa, I promise y’all I am not that superficial, I just knew if he didn’t figure out a way to do this I would probably be wearing a t shirt and shorts because thats about all my post college wardrobe consisted of.

The day rolled around and we got all ready and went and found the perfect spot of bluebonnets, set up my camera got everything ready…and then I endured the longest 5 minutes of my life. I tried for the life of me to set us up and get the camera just right and it was just not happening. Finally Austin got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, only one little problem. He left the ring in his pocket, so he had to dig it out and finally I got to see it!! It was gorgeous. Of course I said yes! In my excitement I jumped into his arms to hug him and managed to rip my dress. Luckily I had a back up in the car.

It has officially been a little over a year since I married the best man in the entire world, sorry ladies if you thought you found him, you really didn’t because  the best man in the entire world is already taken 😉 My wedding planning journey was a once in a lifetime experience, well I guess you could call it an experience. It was more like a roller coaster, and since I am being completely honest with you, at times it felt like the roller coaster from hell.

It has taken me a full year to process everything and be able to finally sit down and write about my experience. There are so many things I wish someone would have told me so I want to help you out and share some of the things I learned. Although I am a wedding photographer in Montgomery,TX and I work in this industry, I made it my goal to plan my wedding just like any of my brides would plan theirs, with the use of my little friend Google and a whole lot of Pinterest…and don’t forget the huge Bridal Extravaganza. I learned so many things along the way and it completely changed the way I run my business and how I deal with my own brides.

Over the next few months you will hear about all kinds of wedding planning goodness and I will take you through my own journey of planning my wedding. I will tell you all of the juicy details from the amazing parts to the stressful parts, and even how I cried over cake. Yep thats right, planning a wedding will make you do crazy things like cry because you just can’t decide what you want your cake to look like!

I will also be sharing some of my wedding pictures with you so you, so make sure you check back every Tuesday. I would love to hear some of your questions or thing you want answers to.
