This is the cutest wedding ever! The ceremony took place on the Red Corral Ranch in Wimberly, Tx. and the reception was at the Red Party Barn on the Red Corral Ranch. The wooden stumps lining the aisle with hand carved initials, fresh fruit for decor and colorful wedding program fans made the wedding creative, romantic and unforgettable. Houston wedding photographer Sarah Ainsworth did a great job capturing the many details.

Tim & Leedjia – Southwest School of Arts and Crafts { San Antonio }

Thanks to Jules Bianchi of Jules Bianchi Photography for submitting this wedding.Tim and Leedjia have such an interesting story of a chance meeting at a car cruise and a love of vintage cars bringing them together. They have quite the cool car collection, and even drove a teal ‘55 Chevy to the church!! Guests signed this tiny guitar in lieu of a guest book…Jules love finding cool places to feature the wedding rings, and she thought the strings of the guitar were the perfect spot!

Tim & Leedjia had their first look at the Hotel Indigo where they got ready.

Kimberly Chau Photography – Houston Wedding Photographer – Featured Vendor

We discovered the talend of Kimberly Chau about a few months ago. I love to see vendors with such passion for life. She is amazing!

Here are a few words from Kimberly

“These past few weeks has been such craziness, yet such a blessing. I struggled with balancing my days with wedding planning, running all the roles in a photography business, and being a good friend and supporter for my girls and fiancé. It’s a lot all at once and no matter how hard I tried to do everything MY WAY, God told me to STOP. He reminded me that He was still in control and that He knew and had long time planned what was best for me.

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing God has been in blessing those hard times. Somehow, he makes all things good come out of something that almost seemed impossible. It’s all of the tough, difficult, and overwhelming situations I’ve been in to get to this point that I have to thank Him for. He has helped me overcome my biggest fears, apprehensions, and insecurities in my life and my work and my business. And for that, I am grateful to continue that journey with Him by my side.”

 

 

 

Bridal Session – Sarah Ainsworth Photography – Caldwell, Tx

This is a fabulous bridal session shot by Houston wedding photograher Sarah Ainsworth . Sarah caught our attention with a short statement made on her website, ” I pray for boldness in this life that I may always follow in step with the Spirit and look past temporal things so that I may focus on what is truly important. ” I definitely believe this shows the makings of a great wedding photographer. Most of the shots were taken at Royalty Pecan Farms  and provided a perfect backdrop for Sarahs style of photography.

At Art by Ellie, they love design, so they custom-design your invitation  to fit you.  They offer traditional flat printing (which can always be jazzed up with a petal, pocket folder, custom wrap, etc.), and also letterpress printing, thermography, foil embossing, laser-cutting, and we can create specialty die-cut shapes as well.
