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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

We are absolutely beyond ecstatic for Karla and Jared, and even more excited to be part of their (I can already guarantee it will be off the charts) wedding!

**Cue the confetti!**

Courtney & McCae, you guys are just ADORABLE, honestly!

Courtney contacted us to be the photographers for her wedding after a photography horror story where the previous photographer basically ghosted them after she paid her deposit. What a nightmare! It is stories like hers that inspire us even further to try and provide the best client experience that we can.

I could tell before the wedding day that Kathleen was going to be so much fun when she told me that she had lined up a few surprises for her husband-to-be. Her surprises did not disappoint!

Kelley & Jorge’s wedding day was an absolute dream, I tell you.

Everything was gorgeous, the party never died, and most importantly, the fairytale princess married her Prince Charming in a wedding that only dreams can imagine. <3
