Since Gina is now married to her honey, Jason, I can finally show you what a beautiful bride she was.  We had so much fun during my very last Unbridaled session and went out with a bang!

Can you handle the hotness?!?!

Now that sweet Ashley has married her Bob, I can finally show you guys these fun frames from her Unbridaled session!!!  In case Bob ever forgets that Ash is a heck of a catch, he can just review this blog post.  (You are welcome, Ashley.  I've got your back.)

Ashley loves a good antique market like any sweet Southern belle should, so without completely destroying her dress before the wedding day, we brought our junk in the trunk and worked it.  Serving as our chaperones (in case we got a little out of control) were Ashley's fantastic parents (who I'm pretty sure have adopted me as their 4th daughter), Jan + Bill.  The four of us had a super afternoon tooling around McKinney, gettin' 'er done.  I heart my job.

One of the sweetest, most gorgeous-inside-and-out girls I've ever met is this one right here.   Rachel is definitely one of my favorite clients I have ever had the opportunity to work with.  Such a down to earth girl fits perfectly into the Austin scene, right?  So, before their insanely incredible wedding (which I also photographed), and before Colt swept her away to Cleveland, I wanted her to have an Unbridaled session that was truly reflective of where they fell in love.

We had a posse for this session, and it was a blast.  While Rachel was getting her makeup done (she had already gotten her "hair did" by the fabulous Martha Lynn Barnes) at Kiss n' Makeup, Sarah Miller of Caplan Miller Events, Jessica of Serendipity Bridal and I drooled over the custom made Watters bridal gown hanging in the CME office.  Also waiting for Rachel?  An amazingly fragrant bouquet made my the genius that is David Kurio.

As soon as Rach was ready to roll, we hightailed it to Blue Star Cafeteria.  Their funtastic wallpaper and turquoise booths combined with the outstanding window light made this an easy choice for me.  The staff at Blue Star was uber-accommodating, and I sure do like to reciprocate kindness.  So, everyone, go get your brunch on at Blue Star!!!  You won't be sorry, and it will probably become one of your favorite hangouts.

Next up?  Definitely on my list for top 5 coolest restaurants EVER, Ranch 616 had just the design and decor aesthetic I was looking for to showcase Colt and Rachel's wedding style.  Cowhide, mid-century pleather chairs, cacti, Johnny Cash, chandeliers (DUH!), and again, wonderful helpful staff members, and 616 was a NO BRAINER.  If you've never been, go there, and get a margarita.  Heck...stay for dinner.  It's guaranteed to knock your socks off!

Our final location?  Mount Bonnell.  As one of Austin's most breathtaking lookout points, we couldn't pass it up.  Every hiker and picnicking family graciously stepped out of our way due to Rachel's obvious beauty (and a little prodding from her mom, Liisa!).

What a wonderful evening we had, and I hope these images will keep a little part of Austin in Rachel's heart!  Love you, R + C!

Rachel McCoy says:

What a FUN DAY that was!!!! Kate you are the best! I knew you were a keeper when Colt said after our engagement pics, "Miss Kate is the real deal...I didn't hate taking pictures for once!" An honest boy opinion :) Thanks for being real with us and showing our love story. We love us some Kate!

I love a good Unbridaled session.  While 90% of what I do in my job is focus on moments as they are naturally happening, sometimes it is a nice break to challenge myself to CREATE moments.  It's a bit like wearing flip flops for months and then busting out your tallest pair of hot heels (like these bad boys).  It can be equally as fabulous, but the footwork is way different and so is the mindset.

Enter Lilly.  Lills (yes, I already have given her a nickname...it's what I do...it's a compulsion to give everyone I like a nickname) is a cute little fashionista who was raised on Neiman's but can hold her own in a burger bar.  She's already married, but was dying to get some cool shots in her dress, so we went to work!  Since Lills is a self-professed furniture junkie, I knew that Again & Again would be the perfect starting point for our session.  Together, we drooled over gold leaf chair legs and chandeliers (DUH!) and made magic happen.  With her adorable sister driving the getaway car, we tooled around the outskirts of downtown Dallas and came up with the rest of the shots. 

I love clients who get it, like Lilly.  She trusted, was relaxed, confident, and definitely entertained me with her quirky humor.  She let me find my groove and then it was just really one fun playdate from there.  Hope you guys love how these turned out as much as I do!
