RILEY + ROXANNE | FREDERICKSBURG WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

This beautiful Dallas couple chose a rustic Texas Hill Country venue for their August wedding, and it turned out just right.

As incredible as it was to watch folks from all over come to Fredericksburg to celebrate Riley and Roxanne, their families are what impressed me most.

Riley and Roxanne chose to do a first look before their evening wedding ceremony so that we were able to take family portraits with both the bride and groom before guests arrived. As I worked to gather dozens of different arrangements of people for these images, I felt like I was a part of a unique family (re)union. I was so thankful to be documenting a moment when several families (some unions newer than others), came together to become one great big family.

Hearing Roxanne's stepdad speak with so much love an affection toward his "bonus daughter" as he officiated the wedding, blessed me! It was further proof that these folks know how to love each other well.

For Riley and Roxanne, family means more than matching bloodlines. In the years to come, I can't wait to see how powerful their family is to those who know them.
