Kaycee

01.04.2012


Now that Kaycee is officially off the market, I can finally show of her beautiful bridals! I shot Kaycee and Nate’s wedding last night in Murchison, Texas at a beautiful venue! Everything was GORGEOUS.. I can’t wait to get if all blogged!

A few favorites from her bridals. Hair and makeup by Tiffany P of Smoking Hot Makeup. You wouldn’t think it by seeing these but it was about 40 degrees and with the wind chill it actually FELT like 20. It was absolutely freezing and the wind was almost blowing Kaycee over! But she made a stunning bride and she was definitely a trooper. :D
