We met up at JP Luby beach and looked around for a spot that wasn’t already occupied. It wasn’t too hard to do at 9am on a Sunday morning.

Their first outfit was Texas down to the boots on the beach! We walked around on the beach for bit and then headed down the beach and into the dunes for some shots. They figured out pretty quick that boots aren’t made for walking in soft sand.. heehee

After the dunes Katie changed into a sweet little white dress – perfect beach wear! I love the photos of her leaning on him looking out at the gulf!

Then we headed down to the pier… Lots of people fishing and some even catching stuff. There were several turtles popping their heads in and out of the water and tumbling around. Too Cute!

A big thanks to my assistant for the day – Marissa! Marissa is a friends daughter (that I’ve known since she was born) that is a HS Junior down there in CC. She’s been interested in photography and asked lots of good questions about posing and client interaction – and did a great job of helping me keep my gear out of the sand. lol Thanks sweetie!

I was clueless!!!!
We took our two dogs down to the beach for the first time to see how they liked the water (at least that was the only reason I knew we were going down to the beach!) and as I was sitting in waist deep water finally getting them brave enough to come in and get wet… he moved in with the video camera rolling (me thinking that he was recording the puppies first water romp)and popped the question…

The actual first words out of my mouth were – NO WAY! but not in the the bad way.. but in the totally schocked way!

And NO – no dates or any further thoughts on any kinds of wedding plans have been made at this time.. lol So far the only restrictions I’ve given him are NO Elvis impersonators, and NO drive thru vegas weddings.. >:o) But other that that – everything is still wide open!

The ceremony was held on the beach in front of the Sandcastle Resort in Port Aransas, TX.If only all the locations were this beautiful!!!
