Oh my goodness, Texas. Do we have a treat for you this lovely Friday morning. An oh-so-enchanting bridal session, complete with a vintage Cadillac, a stunning Monique Lhuillier gown, a pair of I-have-to-have-them Manolos and a beautiful bride who, I swear, could have just walked off the pages of a magazine. All of that gorgeousness AND ah.ma.zing images by Kelly Kate Photography. Yep, I do believe it’s going to be a wonderful Friday. So, pick your jaws up off the floor and join me in the gallery for all of the pretty!

From the Bride… My vision was to capture God’s beauty with my love for Texas Sunsets in open land. I wanted rustic with class. Southern chic was my vision for the photo session and wedding. The setting took place in the country, where there was open landscape, a lush green garden, fields of tall and dry grass, Italian stone arches, antique blue chair and my daddy’s old red Cadillac (which he drove us away in at the end of the wedding). I guess you could say I wanted to capture the things my “biggest loves” represented. My dad- his car which holds so many precious memories for both of us. My mom-the garden, which shows her beauty and love for exceptional design. My beloved husband – the Italian arches symbolize his family, which is Italian. Our Heavenly Father- the sunset which radiates God’s creativity, beauty, and goodness. He paints it each evening for our pure enjoyment.

What version or "name" is this dress? I looked all over the Monique website and the dress is not there...they are all named so I hoping you might know...Also where did you purchase the vail? Who is it? Your look is so beautiful, I am having a vintage wedding in an old little white church and this dress and vail would be so perfect. Thank you for your time
@Krista - the dress is called Scarlet. The veil is from Homa Bridal. Hope this helps!

The lace on the dress and veil are stunning! Very vintage and classy. We love it!
I don't know which is more gorgeous: the bride, the gown or the setting. But Kelly did them all justice with these lovely artistic photos! You're awesome! Congratulation!
The umbrellas are fantastic. Could I ask where they are from and any style/color information? Many thanks!
Love this post! Wow- that is one gorgeous bride!
Love the dress, and the car shots are amazing! :)
What beautiful pictures Kelly! Everytime I look at them I still am in awe. Ann Hayden and her family were a JOY to plan her wedding with, as you can probably tell from her precious comments on the shoot. Best wishes and love to the newlywed Innamoratis!
Would it be possible to find out any information on the umbrellas?
The parasol was borrowed from her sister-in-law. She used it in her wedding. Sorry!!
Where is the groom?
