As a Houston wedding photographer, I love a classic affair with  an ivory white and olive green palette. Diedra and Nolan’s wedding at Safari Texas Ranch had all of these components (and more!). Personally, my favorite element was Diedra’s stunning gown from Allison Webb. It fit her perfectly and highlighted her graceful silhouette. It’s truly a gown that looks timeless and will have generations to come fawning over how radiant she looked on her wedding day! Her veil really added a romantic touch to her look. A bridal veil compliments so many different wedding styles and we love how Diedra paired hers with this dress.

Diedra + Nolan met their first day of college at Texas State when Nolan noticed that cute girl and stole a seat next to her at orientation. (Little did he know, he had stolen the chair that belonged to Deidra’s mom! Nervous about her first day, Deidra had asked her mom to attend orientation for a little extra moral support.) The two became casual friends and then through a series of crazy coincidences, became extremely close. They officially started dating their sophomore year of school, finishing college side by side. The summer after graduation, Nolan planned the most romantic proposal on a beach while on vacation. (The spot is called “Happy Beach”, isn’t that sweet?) He went so far as to hide Diedra’s ring in a seashell and had her find it. If that’s not a storybook proposal, I don’t know what is!

This Houston wedding photographer loved capturing these college sweethearts and documenting this romantic and classic wedding at the Safari Texas Ranch.
