I photographed Emily and Russell’s engagement in Houston. Russell is from Alaska, and Emily is from Houston. They decided to unite their lives in Texas, where she was born. Isn’t it always like that? The boy moves to the city where the girl is from. We took the wedding photos of the beautiful princess Emily and the handsome groom Russell in the cozy town of Luling, Texas. We would like to thank the bride and groom for choosing us for their wedding after their engagement photos.
