You guys all remember my best friend Megan from when I posted her bridals back in September. Somehow between the time we shot Megan & Clatyon's engagement session and me having a baby/moving, these images slipped past the blog! The post is now ready for show & tell and deserves a feature of its own!! Megan and Clayton are seriously perfect for each other. They fell in love during their college years at TCU and have been together ever since. They are some of our best friends here in Fort Worth and even though life keeps us all crazy busy, we manage to find time to see each other as much as possible. Congrats to my favorite newlyweds.... I'm still having withdrawals from your lovely wedding weekend in Charleston. Love you guys!
The new Mrs. Sordini
They say in your lifetime you'll be able to count your best friends on one hand. Well Megan is my number one, my index finger, my numero uno. She is seriously my go to best friend whether rain or shine. We've known each other since 2nd grade and have been inseparable since. Well, actually that's not true. We've been separated by houses far apart during our childhood, different campuses in our college years, and different cities in our early adult years. In fact up until two months ago Megan and I never had proximity on our side and still managed to talk at least five times a week, sometimes even five times a day!! We have an understanding with one another and really treat each other more like sisters than friends.
We've always said we want to have kids near each other and own neighboring lake houses!! It seemed far fetched, but now that we are in the same town it may all just work out!! You can imagine our excitement when Ryan was placed at JPS in Fort Worth for his residency. Megan and I have never been so pumped!! We knew that living in the same town would mean actually shopping together instead of sending text pictures to ask if "these pants are dorky", and it would mean actually going out together instead of just the late night calls to ramble about how much fun our evenings had been. Truth be told, we're just best friends, period.
I was so honored to be the matron of honor at her charming Charleston, SC wedding. I would have LOVED to photograph the entire event, but knew that it was more important to sit back and sink in all the love and joy of the day first hand and not behind a lens. I did manage to sneak a few details of the day while we were getting ready and have shared them below. Megan asked me to take her bridals, which of COURSE I would never pass up. Megan has the most classic and timeless taste and I just love everything she selected from the dress to the venue to the man. Her sweet hubby Clayton is responsible for the Valentinos you see below.....he's knows a thing or two about making Megan a happy bride!! Love this couple and LOVE this sweet girl. Meet my best friend Megan Sordini.
Neely + Cody
I simply adore this couple!! Neely and Cody are just as sweet as they look, and I'm so excited to be photographing their Hill Country wedding at the end of October. Their engagement session was such a breath of fresh air and I cannot wait to see what this beautiful couple has in store for their big day. Until then, enjoy this very romantic engagement session.
Whitney + Katrina
There isn't a more perfect way to ease back into the swing of things than with a small intimate home-style wedding. I was excited when my friend and fellow photographer Meghan contacted me to take pictures at her brother, Whitney's wedding a couple of weeks back. This couple's love for each other is so evident and their excitement was contagious. They had loved ones speak throughout the ceremony and give testimonies on both Whitney and Katrina's behalf, which really gave me insight as to how special this union truly was! Best of luck to this adorable couple in the future, and thanks for allowing me to share in your wedding moment.
life's a flash, capture accordingly.
Rhett Kingston
Well it's safe to say things have changed around here. Since you've seen me last we've had a baby, moved to Fort Worth, and Ryan started his orthopedic residency. If you're wondering why you haven't seen any updated blog posts in the past three months, it's because this little man has been keeping me plenty busy! Between traveling, moving, birthin' babies, and starting new jobs, life has never been sweeter. We are so blessed and grateful to announce the birth of our son, Rhett Kingston Rowland. Above is his birth announcement, which many of you will receive in the mail. I just had to post a sneak peek because knowing me, it might be a few more days before they get addressed!! I'm so glad to be back in action and I'm excited to start this new chapter in Fort Worth. I'm still traveling back to Lubbock quite frequently for shoots, so please don't hesitate to book a session with HAD&P regardless of where you're located!! I'm looking forward to playing catch up on all the fabulous posts I've got in store!
