The last time we featured one of Jose’s little pieces of heaven, someone left a funny comment about me kissing some serious Jose booty. Well, Jose just happens to send me THE best weddings so the kissing is well deserved…and as long as he continues to be one of the most brilliant photographers around, the kissing will definitely keep on keepin’!

Whenever I see the name *Jose Villa* in my inbox, my heart does a little pitter patter. He could be the best photographer I know. He also happens to be the luckiest. Scoring wedding after wedding that has THE coolest style, the greatest details. And he always manages to capture them in a way that is as understated and timeless as it is simply gorgeous. And this wedding…well, it’s the perfect example of just how good he is....

Sometimes I see really pretty weddings and although they are easy on the eyes, they are hard to fall in love with. It’s the JOY behind the images that really gets me. The pure and total joy that the bride and groom exude in each and every picture.

Which is exactly why I heart this wedding so very much.

Abby and I were both born and raised in Texas. So when we tell you about the 20 golden days of October, well…we know what we’re talking about! Both of Abby’s sisters were married in Houston, in October and we couldn’t have asked for any better weather. Impressed the heck out of all of our northern kinfolk! Almost convinced them that we don’t live in the desert … almost! And like all Texas Octobers ~  these past few weeks in Houston have been spot on with...

We always like to ask our brides to give us some insight into how they approached planning their wedding ~ their inspiration, their vision. Here’s what Ashaki had to say ~

The main inspiration for our wedding came from my two favorite movies, Gone With The Wind and Marie Antoinette. I made Embry watch these movies countless times while we were dating, and when he barely objected, I knew he was the man for me!!! I really wanted to have a traditional wedding,...
