In January of 2009 one of Mallory's roommates invited an old friend from high school, Clayton, over to their apartment. At first, she was under the impression he was married so she skipped her usual makeup routine and stayed in her pajamas. As the evening went on, she learned he was not married and as they talked, became very interested in each other. Soon after, the couple started spending lots of time together and began to fall in love over movie nights in with takeout on the couch. When their first Valentine's Day came around, Clayton got Mallory a special edition of "The Wizard of Oz", her all-time favorite movie, and she knew he was The One when she opened his thoughtful gift.
Seven years later, he popped the question, and she said yes! Last summer, I got to travel to Texas for their engagement session and on April 28, 2017 had the honor of capturing their spring country wedding.
Highlights of the day include Mallory's emotional first look with her father, Scott, the bride walking down the aisle to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", and capturing all the unique details they incorporated of their favorite things (movies, specifically The Wizard of Oz, and baseball).
This particular wedding was so special for me because they're my future in-laws! It was amazing to witness how much love is shared by this family.
Congratulations Mallory & Clayton! Wishing you many years of happiness together.
