Daniel and Lauren’s big day was my first time shooting a wedding at Gruene Estate, and let’s just say I hope it’s not the last!! I hadn’t even been to Gruene Estate before, but I had heard so much about it from Lauren and knew she absolutely loved this place. As soon as I arrived I could tell exactly why! This cute little venue is nestled in the small town of New Braunfels and has the prettiest open-air chapel. That was my by far my favorite part of this venue! Just wait until you see pictures of it and you’ll see why!

I met Lauren while in school at UMHB and remember talking with her at the end of her senior year when taking some graduation portraits for her about how she was expecting Daniel to propose soon and how she was just so excited! And then, just a little over a year later, I was with her again photographing her wedding!! She is one of the sweetest people I know, and I loved seeing how happy her and Daniel were to finally be getting married. I could tell he adored her during their engagement session last fall, but his expression at their First Look and how he looked at her during the portrait time showed it even more.

So without further ado, I’ll just let you see for yourself. 🙂 Enjoy some of my favorites of Daniel and Lauren’s Gruene Estate wedding photos:
