Raleigh Elopement Photographer | Oaks at Heavenly San Antonio, Texas Wedding | Laura + Tyler

Vintage Romantic Texas Hill Country Wedding 

This wedding was so beyond special! If you follow me on Instagram you know I can't stop gushing about Laura and Tyler and the amazing weekend. Laura and Tyler are two friends I met in Raleigh, North Carolina before Drew and I moved to Miami, Florida. They're originally from Texas where they first met in middle school, starting dating in high school, went to college, and then were engaged! You can read all about their amazing proposal story on The Knot's How He Asked. I was sad to leave the Triangle so soon after befriending this amazing couple but we managed to stay in touch. I was blessed, humbled, and honored when they asked me to photograph their wedding. It was like my own proposal story! They picked me up from the airport when I flew back into Raleigh for a wedding, took me to my favorite tea house in Chapel Hill, and popped the question! Haha that is the kind of genuine, thoughtful, and loving humans they are.

I knew this wedding would be a dream come true and it exceeded anything I could dream up! Obviously they're a model status couple, the rustic chic details were lovely, and their locations were to die for. But the whole weekend was a gift! I was able to stay with Laura's group of friends, The Squad, go to rehearsal dinner, and be welcomed like family. I'm already ready for the next Squad gathering! I think Rome, Italy might be a contender location! (If you haven't heard, Drew and I will be moving to Rome from October 11-January 8 followed by a few months on New Zealand's South Island and Trollhattan, Sweden.)  

I love how everything came together from the matching PJs, to the dried flower bouquets and mixed bridesmaids dresses, to the notes and first looks, to the handmade signs and the pizza bar! I adore the school pride photos too! I think the sassy wedding party are my favorite ever because it wasn't even my idea haha! I could go on and on about how joyful this celebration was and how much I love L+T. So please enjoy these sweet moments (I just posted like all the because I couldn't choose) and thank you times a billion Laura and Tyler for letting me join the festivities!!
