Blue Hills Ranch Wedding – Charlotte and Branden

May 9, 2021

Okay! Finally caught up on everything for a while and can devote a little attention to blogging and scheduling social media things! When I start to get busy with my business, the first thing that gets eliminated is social media and blogging. I love to share photos, but it takes so much time to sort through, decide what I’ll be posting, come up with captions, schedule… it’s just a low priority item for me.

So, going all the way back to November, because that’s how backdated with blogging I am, here’s Charlotte and Branden’s wedding at Blue Hills Ranch! Blue Hills Ranch is located between Temple and Waco, TX. They had just started doing weddings there when Branden and Charlotte got married, but I believe that existed before as somewhat of a sanctuary for cute animals (zebras and giraffes at a wedding? sign me up!). To be honest, I’m always afraid to work at brand new wedding venues, because there are so many things that can go wrong! Luckily, Blue Hills Ranch made everything run incredibly smoothly through the day. I loved the spotlight they set up for the first dance and the way the sun sets behind the hills makes for absolutely perfect golden hour and sunset portraits.

It was a beautiful day for this very sweet couple, and I’m so glad it went off without a hitch! Well, I guess there was one hitch… because they got married. Get it?

Okay, I’m done.
