Adrienne & Rodney {married}

I have had the huge honor of getting to know Rodney and Adrienne over the past few months as I photographed their engagement portraits, her bridal portraits and now wedding. You really caouldn't ask to meet two more geniune people.

Adrienne and Rodney were married in September at the Royalty Pecan Farm in Caldwell, Texas on a stunningly gorgeous summer afternoon. From beginning to end, their wedding was simply awesome and full of such joy.

Congratulations, Adrienne and Rodney! May your lives together be filled with happiness and beauty! Thank you for taking me in, treating me like one of the family and allowing me to capture your beautiful day!

This is the logo I created for Brenham's newest barbecue restaurant, SmokeYard Alley Barbecue - opening THIS WEEKEND!

Be sure to head to downtown Brenham to SmokeYard Alley (next to Glissmann's Gifts) and try some of their authenticslow-smoked ribs, brisket, chicken and sausage - and tell them James sent you!
