OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP + CHANDELIER OF GRUENE | KAILEY + GRANT
A beautiful Hill Country wedding at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church and reception at the Chandelier of Gruene. I first met Kailey and Grant many months ago at my studio and loved their love story and humor. They met at a football game in late summer of 2011 and a few years after Grant popped the question on a hot air balloon ride. Kailey is a beautiful lady and as you can see, she’s a lookalike Carrie Underwood.
This was my first time at The Chandelier of Gruene, located just minutes from historic Gruene, it’s a quite a remarkable new venue. Set on tons of acreage there’s a picturesque open-air chapel and a 12,000-foot venue surrounded by a patio. Just gorgeous.
It was an honor to work with Rebecca Kaiser, wedding event planner of A Grand Occasion. Adam Swift, a Brit and a dear friend flew in from L.A flew to second shoot the wedding. I was in excellent company including Tomas from Infinity Video.
These are my favorite images from their wedding day. Please leave your love for the couple in the comments below.
