Kansas has been my best friend since I was in high school. We are not going to talk about how long ago that actually was… but it has been a long time 
. What does this all mean? It means that one of the best people that I have ever known will be saying “I do” and I am lucky enough to be there as the maid of honor. For once, I get to be in the wedding and not shooting or singing. Wa-hoo!
This past Thursday, I met KK and Taylor (the fab hubby to be) and we headed down to the theater district. The rain was threatening but we worked around it. Here a a couple from our shoot. More to come later!
Kansas and Taylor…I can not wait to see the two of you as husband and wife in a few weeks. I love you guys!
Almost two weeks ago, Tim and Erin were married at Level Two Events in Dallas. The wedding was romantic and kitschy; yet beautifully simple. Tim and Erin are not your average couple. Tim is from Germany and Erin is from my little hometown outside of Houston. They are fun, playful and delightfully sarcastic. They are the perfect match for me. No regular wedding flow here…just good times with artistic and German flair.
Since the couple are such individuals, they opted out of the traditional wedding rings. Both of their rings (as well as the bridal jewelry) were custom designed. The rings were designed by Olschwanger Designs in Dallas and the bridal jewelry by Fly High Little Bunny in Houston. They weddings rings are rough diamonds and are very unique.
Tim and Erin nixed the ring bearer and chose a remote control Porsche (driven by Robin, the best man) to carry the hardware down the aisle. Different and totally unexpected! I loved it! Here are a few from the big day. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Frielingsdorf!

Getting Ready….
Right before the ladies were getting dressed I got to spend spend some time with the boys. Tim’s family (brother and father) and best friend flew in from Germany. We had a good time getting a few shots before the wedding. Here are a couple.
Notice Robin (Tim's brother) in the back taking pictures of the boys while I took pictures of Tim.
Tap, Tap ,Tap…..hello? Is this thing on? I have neglected this poor little blog for so long but today is the day to update!
Last Saturday, I met Katie for her bridal session in Austin at Mayfield Park. I picked Mayfield Park for the peacocks and beautiful grounds. I learned that the peacocks are so OVER people like me trying to chase them around to get them to show their feathers!
As far as Katie, she and her AMAZING mom Lynne made the trip from Tyler. They had a heck of a trip, but they got there safely and we ended up having a really good time! I have to say that I have never met a momma so willing to climb walls, hold a reflector, get the bride ready and help me round up all my gear. Really Lynne? Are you truthfully so awesome?!
Katie was getting over being really sick and only got a few hours of sleep before the session. You would NEVER know it though! Telling Katie not to smile is like telling the sun not to shine. She pulled the session off like a trooper!
Katie and Lynne…..you were both so amazing and fun to work with. I am looking forward to meeting the rest of the family at the wedding. I am so lucky to get to be a part in of such big day!
