An intimate black and white close-up portrait of a romantic moment.

Love was in the air on this chilly, windy day in Waxahachie. We gathered at the Ellis County Courthouse, an architectural gem that stands proudly in Texas. With its stunning facade and intricate details, this courthouse is often regarded as one of the most beautiful and photographed in the state.


Lyzz, radiating in her beautiful white dress, and Josh, looking dapper in his khaki pants and sports jacket, had just exchanged their vows. The excitement and joy were unmistakable as their faces glowed with happiness. As I captured their couple portraits, Lyzz and Josh slowly strolled toward the courthouse. Their steps symbolized this new journey they were embarking on together. 


Shortly after they began to move away, a heartwarming interruption occurred. Their adorable son, Greyson, dressed to impress in his charming blue and white suit, came sprinting up behind them. His little feet pattered on the ground as he ran, his face lit up with pure joy. He didn't want to miss out on the fun, and who could blame him? Being close to Mom and Dad was his favorite place to be. The sight of Greyson rushing to his parents was a sweet, unforgettable moment. It perfectly encapsulated the love and bond this family shares.


Naturally, I had to capture the entire family walking hand in hand after that. The sight of the three of them, the perfect family on a perfect day, was simply beautiful. Lyzz and Josh are incredible parents, and it was clear that Greyson’s happiness was one of their top priorities. Throughout the day, all Greyson wanted was to be by his Mom and Dad. They are his safe space, his comfort zone, and of course his biggest fans. They cherish him just as much as he cherishes them. 


Lyzz and Josh's care and devotion to their sweet boy were evident in every moment. They made sure Greyson was included in their special day, not just in the photos but also in their ceremony at the courthouse. This day wasn't just about their union; it was a celebration of their family. The air was filled with love and laughter, free from any stress or worry. Lyzz and Josh are laid-back, carefree, and kind-hearted, and this was reflected in the way they embraced their wedding day. It was a day where only their love and commitment mattered.


Waxahachie holds a special place in their hearts, and capturing these precious memories for them in such a meaningful location was truly an honor. As we wandered through the quaint streets and charming spots of downtown Waxahachie, I felt privileged to be part of their journey. From Greyson’s first birthday to their wedding day, I’ve had the joy of documenting their family’s milestones, and each moment has been a testament to the love they share.


Lyzz and Josh, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! You have trusted me with some of your most precious memories, and I am forever grateful for that trust. Thank you for showing me all your favorite spots in downtown Waxahachie. The small-town vibes and the warmth of this place made it all the more special. I can't wait to see all the adventures you three embark on next. A big congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs.!
