Jordan and Kristi’s Addison Grove Wedding took place the same day Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas, but that didn’t put a damper on them one bit! All week I had heard about rain, but a chance of rain in Texas can really change in a split second, so I wasn’t thinking much about it… and then I finally watched the news mid-week and realized, “Ohhh, this isn’t just a chance of thunderstorms… this is a GIANT HURRICANE people are talking about!” (Ya, I know… I don’t watch TV much.) So once I realized that this rain was going to stick around, I started thinking about how to get creative. I wanted to make sure this sweet couple still had pretty photos, despite the crazy weather and came up with quite a few options to have handy in case I needed them. Luckily, the weather let up enough to where we could take advantage of the covered areas around The Addison Grove and still get photos out in the natural light! (Praise the Lord for that one!)

Despite the weather completely changing Jordan and Kristi’s original plan and dream for how their wedding day would look, these two were SO JOYFUL!! They remained focused on the Lord and what this day actually meant and represented, so not even a hurricane could ruin in it. Not only did they wholeheartedly trust me and my lead on where to take photos, but they, their families, and the whole wedding party were such a joy to work with! We managed to pull off all the portraits under two small covered spaces, and at the end of the day, Jordan and Kristi grabbed one of my umbrellas and ventured out into the rain and wind with me to get a few photos outside the barn! We made this happen in about two minutes, and it was SO WORTH IT! (Shout-out to my second shooter and partner-in-crime, Ashley for holding and umbrella over me for most of the day!)

Alisha with Elaine and Lee and the whole Austin Catering and Addison Grove Teams did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job turning the barn into such a beautiful and intimate ceremony space. The barn windows served as a backdrop to the ceremony, and the space was decorated with gorgeous florals from Native Bloom Floral. I was so impressed with how this team handled what could have been an absolutely crazy day — not a single detail was missed and everything turned out just perfectly! So without further ado, enjoy a few of my favorites from the day!

Kristi’s first look with her dad was so sweet — and a tear-jerker for the whole family!














When the rain lets up and there’s about 2 feet of covered space right outside the door, no one complains about a few rain drops!

























Right after becoming Husband and Wife, Jordan and Kristi took a few moments to pray. I loved capturing this moment!!





A little dancin’ on the patio…























When you can’t do your sparkler exit because of a hurricane, you take a big group photo instead!

And then celebrate!!

And because these were just too fun not to share:
