Heather and Russel’s Ruby Ranch Lodge Austin wedding Part One

This was the first time for me EVER to be a bridesmaid! I know pretty crazy with all the weddings I have been to! Heather is my husband’s sister and we have known each other for about 6 years now. She is not only my sister-in-law but my FRIEND! I love her very much! She means a lot to me. That is why when she asked me to be in the wedding AND photograph it I did my best to figure out a way to do it! :) Also I have gotten to know Russel over the years and he reminds me of warm hearted lion willing to die for and protect his family and the ones he loves and that is EXACTLY what Heather needs for her husband. I am so excited for the two of you and that we are now all family! Oh also a really sweet side story… Russel proposed to Heather in the 7th grade while Heather was a senior in highschool! :) They went their seperate ways for many years but ended in each other’s arms! I just think it was so sweet that it all came around! These are just a couple of photos that I took after the ceremony my assistant and Azini photography shot the whole thing! I will post a link to their photos when they are ready. Enjoy the photos I shot :) !

Little candy bags that we got for the kiddos, which my daughter ate candy for dinner last night other than a couple of bites of chicken!

That is what we get for putting the candy table out before dinner was ready :)
