Karina + Thomas | Lakeside Winter Wedding at Lake Tyler Petroleum Club | Tyler, Texas

This wedding is special to me because the bride is now my best friend! We got to know each other during her engagement, and she is the sweetest most down-to-earth person. She's actually a photographer too, and if you hire me to shoot your wedding there's a good chance she'll be my second shooter.

She and Thomas have been together since high school, and their wedding was a true mark to the beginning of their lives together. They had a private first look (I wasn't even allowed to photograph it) and there were enough tears to go around during the ceremony that it could've flooded the lake.
