Denver {Texas State Senior}

This girl is one of my oldest & dearest friends, so naturally I was STOKED when she graduated & wanted senior photos. I may however have been even more stoked on reading the text she sent me when she asked me.

"Hey Desiree! The senior portraits that you've been posting are kinda making me rethink my original notion that "senior portraits are laaaaaaame." (That's a compliment, I think they're fucking awesome)." -Denver

So here's to all my seniors who didn't want lame senior photos & were willing to take some time to be creative with meeeeeeeee. Rock on y'all.

Josh & Christina Wedding at The Vineyard at Florence {Florence, Texas}

Desiree at Elkk Photography was such a pleasure to work with. We left our wedding not only feeling like we had a great photographer but a great friend too. She was able to capture candid moments perfectly, even during our engagement session with our 100lb St. Bernard puppy (no easy feat!). She is very responsive and eager to share her work - we were amazed we had a sneak peek of our wedding photos by the morning after. Words cannot express how much it means to us to have these precious family moment documented just as we remembered. Highly recommend Desiree!  -Josh & Christina

This wedding day went so smooth & I truly believe that was half to Josh & Christina being freaking awesome, chill people & half to them trusting an amazing vendor team! It really can make a huge difference in your day. Make sure to check some of these amazing peeps out:

Gabby & Ryan Engagement {Austin Seaholm Power Plant}

I love the modern feel of the Seaholm Power Plant, but I love these two's energy even more. We started out with a wedding meeting at Merit Coffee & then just got to have a good laugh while exploring the area. Engagement sessions are one of my favorite ways to spend time with my couples & they always end up being a blast even when people are nervous to get in front of the camera (not that you would everrrr guess that these two hotties were nervous). <3

Jordan & Doug Wedding {Austin, Texas}

Jordan & Doug's backyard wedding was far beyond what I was expecting. This was a kick ass party with beautiful decorations and even better, beautiful family & friends. This wedding was small, but it had a huge presence. Also, I don't know why market lights are so damn romantic, but they most certainly are. 

My favorite part of the day had to be watching them interact with their little boy & getting to see him be so involved in the day. This wedding had so many touches that were so special to the couple including the venue space donated by their family to the stunning cornhole boards that Doug handcrafted/painted himself to the old car that was restored by Doug's dad that we got to take photos with. They really made their day all their own & I'm so stupid happy for them!
