Mandy and Chris were set up by friends, after she moved to Texas from New York.  Her first thought about seeing a photo of him was that he was too young.  Her mind quickly changed when she was able to meet him in person and the two shared their first date 3 days later.  They were married this past Friday and it was an honor to be their Pecan Springs Ranch Wedding Photography team.

Once Mandy was in her dress, her soon-to-be sister-in-law helped her into Chris’ grandmother’s necklace.  Her sisters helped her into her grandmother’s necklace and bracelet, so Mandy could keep them close to her on her wedding day.

How cool is it that Mandy has matching tattoos with her sisters?!?

Mandy and Chris opted for a first look.  It was a sweet moment filled with tears, kisses, and lots of hugs. 

Right after their first look, they were in the best spirits to take some romantic portraits on their wedding day at Pecan Springs Ranch.

Don’t you just ADORE Mandy’s wedding day look?!  The short dress, with vintage mint petticoat and a birdcage veil with a big bow in her hair is just everything!  We love that she did exactly what she wanted on her wedding day!

Mandy’s niece was the flower girl for their mint wedding at Pecan Springs Ranch.  It was also her first birthday!

After the ceremony, guests were invited to enjoy yard games and chips and queso.  Since Mandy and Chris opted for a first look, they, too, were able to enjoy their own cocktail hour and mingle with their wedding guests who had traveled from all over to spend the day with them!

Not only were cupcakes available for guests to enjoy, but they also had a midnight snack of cookies!  This way, their sugar levels were up, so everyone had enough energy to dance the night away!

Again, I just love Mandy’s wedding dress!

After their romantic portraits at sunset were wrapped, Mandy and Chris took a few minutes to themselves to soak up their day, just the two of them.

Mandy and Chris – thank you SO MUCH for inviting us to be a part of your wedding day!  We loved celebrating with the two of you!  We loved that y’all made sure to show your personalities at your wedding and kept those you love most around you.
