Brazos Cotton Exchange Wedding: Monica + Will

February 9, 2010

It all started last spring at the Bridal Association of Brazos Valley Spring Bridal Show. Monica, her Mom, and her friend and wedding coordinator Melissa walked into our booth. We hit it off, she was sweet, excited and in love…it was written all over her face. We visited for what seemed to be close to an hour. When they left our booth, I had a strong feeling I would be hearing from her again. I did. We emailed each other over the following week, and they decided on another photographer to capture their day.
Over the past year I thought of Monica here and there…for some reason she just really stuck out in my mind and struck a chord with me.

Well earlier in January I received a very unexpected phone call from Monica…she was in a bit of a pickle and let down to say the least with her photographer; we’ll leave it at that. She wanted to find out if we were available to capture her wedding day. Well as luck may have it, we were!
A couple of weeks before their wedding we all went to dinner to discuss their wedding day and meet Will. We had a fantastic time with them and had the opportunity to get to know a lot more about each other.

Monica & Will; we are thilled and honored to have been able to share in your day with you! We wish you many years of blissful love, fabulous memories, and a lifetime of laughter together!

Much love and appreciation!
