It’s not often I get to witness a hill country wedding overlooking the majestic Guadalupe River. But, that was the case very early this past year when I accompanied Sara Griffin Photography as her second photographer to another beautiful wedding.
The ceremony site at Marquardt Ranch literally overlooks a cliff on the edge of the Guadalupe River. Before all the guests arrive, you can hear the water softly running over the rocks down below. It’s such a peaceful ceremony site.

Hill Country Wedding at Marquardt Ranch
Here are some of my favorite parts of Kelson and Kaylea’s hill country wedding.
I loved watching Kelson’s reaction when he first saw Kaylea during their first look. (Isn’t she a gorgeous bride?!)

Since Kelson and Kaylea chose to have a first look, this allowed Sara and I to capture some great creative shots before the ceremony when the light was better.

These two are an adorable couple!

And Kaylea’s dress was darn near to die for!

I loved the red, white and blue colors of this winter wedding just two weeks after the new year had begun.

The simple yet sophisticated boutonnieres were icing on the cake.

I loved watching Kelson watch Kaylea walk down the aisle. He looked so calm and ready for this moment to finally happen.

The sun quietly setting during the ceremony was so romantic.

The moment after Mr. & Mrs. were officially introduced.

And lastly, their sparkler exit was flawless!

Here are a few more of my favorite images from Kelson and Kaylea’s hill country wedding at the Marquardt Ranch in Boerne:
