Rustic outdoor wedding venue with white chairs arranged under a majestic oak tree.

Howdy, y'all! Buckle up, 'cause I'm taking you on a dusty trail ride through a wedding that had my shutter finger movin' faster than a rodeo bull. Nestled amidst the pines and rustic charm of Pine Lake Ranch in Montgomery, Texas, I witnessed a love story unfold like a sun-kissed Western ballad. It was a bohemian bash with a whole lotta Texas twang.


Where Rustic Meets Rad:

As a Houston wedding photographer, I thought that Pine Lake Ranch provided the perfect canvas for their unique vision. The ancient oak tree, draped in twinkling lights, stood as a silent witness to their vows. White wooden chairs lined the aisle, sprinkled with wildflowers and macrame dreamcatchers. And beneath that oak, Caleb, lookin' dapper in a rusty red suit and cowboy hat, awaited his Leona. She sashayed down the aisle, a vision in a flowing tulle gown and boots. Her hairstyle soft, flowing, and earthy—nothing tight or too perfect.

Boho Blazes with Rust and Orange:

Forget your dainty floral arches, this ceremony boasted a jaw-dropping backdrop: a weathered cow skull adorned with fiery orange blooms and wispy pampas grass. It was a statement piece that screamed, "We do things differently here in Texas!" And the color palette? Think desert sunsets and sun-baked earth. Rust-orange linens mingled with pops of turquoise and ivory, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

A Celebration Fit for Outlaws:

The reception was a foot-stompin' good time, fueled by laughter, good tunes, and some seriously fierce two-steppin'. Tables groaned under platters of barbeque brisket and cornbread, while mason jars brimmed with sweet tea and sangria. And let's not forget the cake! A masterpiece of buttercream and as Texan as a wildflower field in spring time.
