As soon as Justen popped the question to Renee', they knew two things: they wanted to marry as soon as possible and they wanted to share their wedding day with their closest relatives. Within a short amount of time, both sets of parents flew in to Texas and they held the wedding in the small town where Justen's family was originally from--and in the same church that Justen's parents were married in. After the ceremony, they took some fun shots outside. They then continued the celebration at a steakhouse where Justen's family have dined together many times in the past: another special place in their hearts and another perfect venue. Meaningful, emotional, we love everything about this small, intimate wedding--from Renee's large bow headpiece over her beautiful, expressive eyes, to her short dress and cowboy boots. Oh, and Justen cleaned up pretty well too.
Thanks to Bethany Erin Photography for the sweet rendering of events. Enjoy.
Bethany Erin said, "I was in no way prepared for the overwhelming emotion that would fill the rest of the day. They were both so quiet and reserved (with the exception of the bride's light-hearted interactions with her mother and sister), but when Renee' walked down the aisle that day, she radiated with such happiness. Throughout the entire wedding, these two were just beaming, eyes brimming with tears and all smiles. After the ceremony, I could see that they just came alive with happiness in each other's presence. They were so sweet, fun and filled with love and life in a way that just felt very deep, not superficial. It was like they really did complete each other."
Congratulations Justen and Renee'! Best wishes for a wonderful life!! xo
