I had been dying to shoot at this fabulous location ever since I came across Erik Clausen’s ”Be a Poser” blog, who is an amazingly talented Dallas photographer.  This old cotton mill is located in McKinney, and is slowly being renovated into an events venue. In the meantime, the abandoned buildings and brick structures make for an amazing backdrop.  

CJ, my dear friend Aimee, me, Ashley, and her hubby all made the trek and braved the intense heat for these photos.  And I think they were definitely worth the effort!! Although only one of us had to endure the heat while looking amazing in stiletto heels:) Ashley is an artistic gal, so I knew she’d be up for anything. As you can see, she was fabulous!!

 Thanks for making this happen guys! You rock Ashley!

Rachel was such a beautiful bride! I loved her dress and especially the lace bolero.

Rachel and Jason were married in the beautifully restored St. Mary’s  Cathedral in downtown Austin. The facade of the church was gorgeous and made such a great backdrop for photos. Then Rachel and Jason braved the heat for a downtown bride+groom photo shoot. (my favorite:) It seems like forever ago when we shot their engagement session, and I’ve been looking forward to their wedding ever since!!

Congratulations Rachel and Jason!!
