Reception : Drexel Hall
Custom Bridesmaid’s Jewelry: Scarlett Garnet

Renee brought her mom (who she describes as a best friend) and Dan’s sister to our first meeting, and I knew immediately that family was central to Renee and Dan’s lives. For their engagement session, we went to a neighborhood bar where Dan and Renee first met through mutual friends. I loved seeing how they complimented each other whenever we were together. Every time I talked with Renee she was just returning home from business trips to glamourous places like Paris, sporting a chic new bag at each meeting. So when we took Dan’s best friend, his golden lab, to the park to take pictures, I asked them to lay on the ground with the dog and Renee’s mom busted out laughing, saying she had never seen Renee lay on the ground before. But they bring out the best in one another, and I can see that they adore one another’s differences. The couple just recently moved to Del Rio waaay down in South TX. I wish you guys the best! Thank you for inviting me into your lives this year! Special thanks to Nicole and Brandon Parigo for contributing your wonderful work that day!
