Emily and Craig's Engagements, Lubbock, Texas

I met Emily through a class that I teach at Tech. When she told me that she wanted me to do her engagements, I was thrilled! Little did I know that they guy that she is to marry was a guy that I knew when I was in college. Small world! Here are a few of my favorites.

Ashley's Bridals

Ashley and Justin were married this weekend at Spirit Ranch, it was a gorgeous ceremony. I have been waiting anxiously to post Ashley's bridals that turned out beautiful and the wedding images will be up soon. Justin and I have been friends since college and I am very thankful they thought of me to photograph their wedding as well as Ashley's bridals.

They will come to your house and quite your lawn and have all of the work done in a hurry!

I can't believe that today marks three years of marriage for us. There are so many things that I did not recognize as gifts until now. The first being all of the friends and family that supported us, loved us, showered us with gifts and parties and help during the wedding time.

I never recognized what a wonderful man I was about to marry. I knew you loved me, I knew that would not change, but I don't think that I had a handle on how much. You let me quit my job to pursue my business. You were the sole person that supported me and my dreams. You lifted me up when I was ready to quit, pushed me when I was tired, and cheered for me as my dreams grew into a reality. You still do. I know that will never change. I also know I would not be where I am without you and your courage that poured into my soul.

You help me keep my focus of what is important. God, then family, then careers, then possessions. I am so glad that I married a man with these values, and no one could have a stronger set than you.

You provide for me better than I could have ever asked for. You work hard, earn an honest wage and for what? For our family and those family members that we do not have yet.

I don't know how someone can have an inherent gift of fatherhood, but you know just what to do. Your protection of and love for Georgia is something that I have only seen from my Dad. I can't wait to spend the next years with you molding her into a person that we will be proud to watch and give to the world.

I don't know that I say it often enough and I don't even know what I would convey to let you know how much I love you, admire you, trust in you, and live for you. Thank you for a wonderful three years of marriage. Love is not a strong enough word, but nevertheless, I love you more than you could ever image.
