A Stormy Start, a Stunning Finish: Melody & Taylor’s Wedding at Water’s Edge, El Lago

March 28, 2025, was a day full of emotion, energy, and unforgettable moments. At the beautiful Water’s Edge in El Lago, TX, we had the honor of capturing the wedding of Melody and Taylor Magorien—an incredible couple we’ve had the privilege of photographing from their surprise proposal to the moment they drove away as husband and wife.

This couple could NOT have picked a more beautiful venue for their shoot! The Peach Orchard is brimming with lovely backdrops and dazzling scenery. Melissa and Joe are super sweet and easy-going, giving off a calm excitement that shines through in their photographs. The classy, modern, décor gave this shoot an upscale vibe.

Kendall and Tam had the most beautiful wedding day, and such a sweet love for one another!

No pandemic can stop this love!

Lorena and Ronald’s original June wedding date had to be rescheduled to September due to COVID-19, so once they finally were able to celebrate their love with friends and family, nothing could keep the smiles off of the faces of these two!

From engagements, to bridals, to their special wedding day, everything was always vibrant, fun, and unique to them! And let me assure you, this was not your typical backyard wedding… This, instead, was a hand crafted, uniquely designed, and sentimental affair.

Everyone loves a good family session around Christmastime, including us! The Garcia family was gorgeous and so easy to work with- even with 5 kiddos!

Kassie & Ryan were sooo cuteee, y’all!

We chose downtown Houston as the location for their portraits- Kassie wanted something a little city-feeling, and as we explored, we found some great spots along the way! We ended the session on top of a garage rooftop at sunset to put the icing on the cake of their killer urban session. Kassie’s outfit was perfect for upcoming NYE, and we can’t wait to celebrate their wedding at The Springs- Wallisville later this year!

Courtney and McCae are a dream couple, you guys! *insert heart eyes here*

The Gartner girls know how to PARTY, Y’ALL!

We had the great pleasure of meeting Karla and Jared last fall at Karla’s sister, Kelley’s, epic wedding, and Karla’s was just as incredible! Karla and Jared are a dynamic duo, and their love for each other and for having a great time is undeniable!

We had a blast with Summer and David during their bright and colorful engagement session!

We quickly found that the vibrant and unique settings that we chose were a perfect match to this stylish young couple. :)

We can finally share Courtney’s gorgeous Ashelynn Manor bridal session!

To say that Courtney is a stunning bride is an understatement, but see for yourself!

TODAY, Karla is a MARRIED woman, and we can share her BREATHTAKING bridal portraits!

Honestly, Karla looked like an absolute angel/supermodel/celebrity through her entire session.

TODAY IS THE DAY!

Hugest congratulations to Travis and Jamee, and we FINALLY can share her absolutely stunning bridal portraits!

Erin and Jake told us that they had never done photos before, but I kept telling them I didn’t believe them because of what naturals they were!

It was so cool to meet up with Ariel after like, what, 12 years?! Ariel and I (Mikala) went to middle and high school together! After graduation, I moved to Houston, and you know how that goes. BUT, when Ariel reached out to us to do some fun/casual engagements for them, we were thrilled and gave a resounding “Absolutely!”

Whitney & Kanaan had one of the sweetest wedding days of all time.

I’m truly not kidding when I say this!

Allie & Chris were SUCH A BLAST!

Josh has known Chris for years, and it was a great time for them to reconnect and have some fun taking engagement portraits for him and his bride-to-be. :)

Shannon and Andy had such a wonderful wedding day!

Shannon, being a former photographer, chose The Meekermark as her venue because of all the beautiful natural lighting, large windows, and the gorgeous outdoor chapel for the ceremony. And boy, it is stunning!
