This past weekend I had the honor of photographing and planning Ashlynn and Nate’s gorgeous wedding at 201 Mesquite! It was my first time to shoot there, and it was so beautiful! Check out their sneak peek below!

Y’all. I can’t even. ZOO engagement photos?! Yes, please! I’ve known Kayli and her family for many years, and got to meet Nick from having the privilege of photographing several events at the Zoo! First was the Zoobilation, and then Christmas at the Zoo. Kayli and the others on staff at the Zoo have done a FANTASTIC job of getting the Abilene Zoo to be the place to be! I have been coming to the Zoo since I was a little girl, and to say they have changed things for the better is the understatement of the year!
We had so much fun walking around the grounds and getting to take photos with a giraffe, a bobcat, and got to use the gorgeous landscaped grounds as backdrops as well. The trumpet vines along the back of the prairie dog exhibit were so beautiful! Zoo engagement photos turned out to be so good!
I can’t wait for this October for Kayli and Nick to say their ‘I do’s’ under the pavilion at the zoo! They have tasked me with helping with both the photography and event planning and decor for their big day. We are thinking of a navy, green, and white color scheme with lots of white flowy fabric. Kayli’s style is impeccable and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together. Enjoy their engagement photos!
Now that Maggie Turnbull is Maggie Nease, I can finally share these GORGEOUS bridal portraits! I had the HUGE honor of getting to be the FIRST photographer to take bridal portraits at the brand new wedding venue in Abilene called Sabrina Cedars!! It is a FABULOUS place owned by Ashley and Cason Pyle, and it was built with photography and gorgeousness in mind. It was empty for our shoot, but I have also had the privilege of attending the first ever event there and it was decorated so beautifully! I feel like it could go in so many different styles so easily.
Ashley did a phenomenal job choosing just the right layout and finishes! She named the venue Sabrina after her late mother in law, and Cedars to reflect the gorgeous cedar trees around the property! Isn’t that the sweetest thing ever? I love the name, and I think Ashley’s mother in law would have, too. Before y’all click over and check out Sabrina Cedars for yourselves, scroll down and look through the gorgeousness that is Maggie’s Bridals!
