Lizzy & Gio’s Marriage Blessing
SAINT ELIZABETH ANN SETON CATHOLIC CHURCH
KELLEr,TX
** MARCH 29, 2025 **
SOME SESSIONS FEEL LIKE FULL-CIRCLE MOMENTS—AND THIS ONE DEFINITELY WAS.
I HAD THE HONOR OF PHOTOGRAPHING LIZZY AND GIO’S **MARRIAGE BLESSING CEREMONY** AT SAINT ELIZABETH ANN SETON CATHOLIC CHURCH IN KELLER. THIS WAS ACTUALLY MY SECOND TIME WORKING WITH THEM, AS I HAD JUST RECENTLY PHOTOGRAPHED THEIR SWEET DAUGHTER'S FIRST BIRTHDAY SESSION. WHEN LIZZY REACHED OUT ABOUT CAPTURING THIS SPECIAL MILESTONE, I DIDN’T HESITATE FOR A SECOND.
WHAT MAKES THEIR STORY EVEN MORE SPECIAL IS HOW WE ORIGINALLY CONNECTED—**THANKS TO MY HUSBAND, OF ALL PEOPLE!** BACK IN 2019, WHILE HE WAS INSTALLING INTERNET AT LIZZY’S HOUSe, HE SHAMELESSLY PROMOTED MY PHOTOGRAPHY. 😅 LIZZY ENDED UP FOLLOWING ME ON INSTAGRAM, AND YEARS LATER, SHE REACHED OUT WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT.
EVEN THOUGH THEIR CEREMONY CAME TOGETHER A BIT LAST MINUTE, IT WAS FILLED WITH **SO MUCH LOVE AND JOY**. WE BRAVED THE CLOUDY SKIES AND GUSTY WINDS TO GRAB A FEW PORTRAITS OUTSIDE THE CHURCH BEFORE HEADING IN. I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT THE LIGHTING SITUATION INSIDE—CHURCHES CAN BE TRICKY—AND UNSURE IF I COULD USE FLASH. A FEW PHOTOS ENDED UP A BIT GRAINY (HELLO, HIGH ISO), AND I MANAGED TO SQUEEZE IN A HANDFUL OF FLASH SHOTS *RIGHT BEFORE MY BATTERY DIED*, BUT HONESTLY, I’M STILL SO HAPPY WITH HOW EVERYTHING TURNED OUT.
BEYOND THE PHOTOS, I ALSO CAPTURED A FEW SHORT VIDEO CLIPS AND PUT TOGETHER A SIMPLE YET HEARTFELT RECAP OF THEIR CEREMONY. IT’S MOMENTS LIKE THESE—QUIET, SPIRITUAL, AND FAMILY-FOCUSED—THAT REMIND ME HOW IMPORTANT THIS WORK IS.
THANK YOU AGAIN, LIZZY AND GIO, FOR LETTING ME BE PART OF SUCH A SACRED AND MEANINGFUL DAY IN YOUR JOURNEY.
💍✨
