My homegirl, Joanna, was there to assist.
Caplan Miller Events was representin' with the event planning.
Kim + Joe are easily in the top 3 for Most Laid Back and Trusting Clients EVER.
Their great friend, Everett, was officiating, which meant that the ceremony was heartfelt, and that I could go anywhere I needed to to get the shot.
Kim + Joe allowed plenty of time for us to use fun locations for portraits in between the ceremony and reception and they were just as excited as I was about that!
DJ RICH (from Austin) was KILLING IT in the music department. I just HAD to dance in between shots during the whole reception.
Kim + Joe are so beyond in love and their chemistry just radiates. They are true best friends and I am so proud to know them and their kind hearts. Here are my favorite images from their wedding day!
Kim + Joe ~ Have fun on your much needed honeymoon getaway in Europe! Eat fabulously, drink one or seven for me, and bring back tons of pictures. We must meet up at Joe T's for a rita when you get back! Hugs to you both and your fam and friends!
And work that body, work that body! Shake what your mama gave ya, BUT shake it, don't break it. Took your mama 9 months to make it. And on and on.
This blog is a dance floor. I implore you to get off your ass and get your groove on. Don't be that person who sits in their chair, bobbing their head to the music.
Get involved.

Use this blog more like a forum where you can gather with kickass peeps instead of a one-sided journal. It's way more fun to speak to a group of people than a brick wall, so lemme know who you are and what your story is and what inspires you and why you keep coming back here. Please. Pretty please. End of rant.
I feel your pain, Kate!! Thanks for sharing your awesome images!! I always check in to see what unique location your using for your sessions. Love them!
(05.12.10 @ 10:07 AM)Challlllooooonnnnnggggggeeeee!!
(05.11.10 @ 01:41 PM)What should I say? In short, Kate Rocks!!!
(05.10.10 @ 10:11 PM)I've said it once, I'll say it a 1,000 times...your composition is always impecable. I am so envious of your eye for the most interesting, yet simple way of capturing your subject. Any thought of mentoring a newbie when you are in the Austin area???
(05.10.10 @ 10:03 PM)your work is amazeballs.
You've got an eye and passion that comes through in every single picture on your blog.
Keep it up!
(05.10.10 @ 09:31 PM)I love your work, but your family photos are what keep me coming back. You have a great way of documenting life. :)
(05.10.10 @ 09:27 PM)Not only are the girls from Caplan Miller Events completely DOMINATING the event industry, but they are also just rad chicas who have expertise in all areas. This includes, but is not limited to fashion, socializin', domestic goddessness, jetsettin', and the word on the street. I love 'em, and you'll love 'em. Check 'em out and leave them the blog equivalent of a snuggie...a comment!
thank you Kate!!!!!! We will hopefully try and NOT disappoint. Tell my girl Mills and my man Noopsie that I miss them already! xo
(05.16.10 @ 08:10 PM)So, the foxy spring breakers fell in love and several years later are planning their early summer NJ wedding! I cannot wait to capture all of the little moments of their big day and get to meet (and catch up with) all of their family members. Straight from Courtney and Alex's mouths, it is supposed to be a VERY festive evening!
Great pics, Kate! Love seeing downtown Brenham in your shots.
(05.14.10 @ 01:38 PM)Kate--I love love love them!!! You would never know this was at 8am or right after the rain. I can't wait for the wedding!!!
(05.03.10 @ 11:46 AM)Well, Millie's only on her second tennis lesson, but it's already been quite the rollercoaster ride. Last week, at her first session with Coach Debbie, she had a perfectionist's textbook reaction to not being awesome at something while doing it for the very first time. You know, pouting, stomping, and eventually crying, screaming, and blubbering. However, after a personal training session last Saturday from Bobby and moi, Millie is back on the rails and GUNG-HO about tennis...as long as she can wear pink, natch. That bad attitude turned completely around and my Peach actually hit the ball over the net SEVERAL times today...while SMILING. What a world of difference from last week, it was! More to come on this adventure, but I wanted to share this little Hipstomatic gem from today. God, I love my kid.
Precious pic! I still love tennis & just FYI, you can also get her pink balls...LOL.
(05.14.10 @ 01:46 PM)We love the Mills too! Glad it was you guys giving the practice. I'm with Millie on the kicking/screaming part when it comes to anything athletic! Love, GranLyn
(05.08.10 @ 09:01 PM)I love, love, love this picture!
(05.07.10 @ 11:24 AM)Tell Millie we can all play at Padre! We have a court by our house and we hit the ball around. No formal lessons, maybe Millie can teach us!
(05.04.10 @ 10:37 PM)
