JESSICA & THOMAS | KINDRED OAKS, GEORGETOWN WEDDING

truly believe that my clients are amazing. No matter what photography job they come to fulfill. And every person I meet I hope to make a friend. This was the case with Jessica when she first came to me to do a boudoir shoot for her future husband Thomas who was deployed at the time. Jess wanted to surprise him when he returned home from deployment. She wanted to make a memory before they said their “I Do”.

After we created an amazing boudoir book and Jess deployed herself, she contacted mid way through her tour me saying she wanted me to photograph her wedding amidst the Texas summer heat in the most beautiful venue of Kindred Oaks in Georgetown, TX. It was the biggest surprise and honor of all. Texas has been their home together and they wanted to tie the knot before they would get stationed overseas together (and so their families could attend their big day). So when Jessica was back we all met In the town of Gruene (New Braunfels) to photograph their engagement session and to have the best day out together. You can see it here.

RIVERSIDE ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BELTON FINEART PHOTOGRAPHY, TEXAS

It is hard to put in words how I feel about Jess & Tom - they are the kind of people that walk into your life and make an impact, they stay in your life and they make it better.

I met Jess a year ago when she came to me wanting to do a boudoir session as a gift for her fiancé who then was deployed to Afghanistan. She wanted him to be surprised when he came home, as she herself was getting deployed and wouldn’t be home to greet him. It was something that took a lot of courage for Jess as she has never done this kind of shoot before and also she wanted to make it more than just memorable, she wanted him to be able to look at them and smile, thinking of their upcoming wedding.

Back then Jessica didn’t know if they will have time to have a big wedding, because she knew as soon as she gets back they will get orders to move somewhere else, but she told me she wanted to do a couple's shoot if at all possible.
