This couple’s story could have been plucked straight from the pages of a romance novel. Ashley and Cory first crossed paths at The University of Texas at Austin, but life and circumstances kept them apart. It wasn’t until they swiped right on the Bumble dating app that they finally met and discovered they had 37 mutual Facebook friends. Then, the two realized they had much in common over a taco date, and their love story began.
Taylor and Robert grew up in Beaumont, Texas, but their story didn’t begin until years later in Houston when they ended up on a road trip together. “After an eight-hour drive turned into a twelve-hour drive, with lots of traffic and road closures, we had great conversations, lots of laughs and truly enjoyed each other’s company. It was that trip that made us realize that we wanted to spend more time together.”
Robert proposed to Taylor on Christmas Eve with all her family present and even had the family dog, Bourbon, help out.
Gina and Tanner’s traditional Houston wedding was blissful from beginning to end, with the motto “Let’s Start With Forever.”
Emily and Blake met in college through mutual friends. Both being college athletes at separate schools, the couple would alternate from season to season to see each other. Blake went to the University of Texas, where he played baseball, while Emily played volleyball at the University of Tulsa. After a delayed trip due to Covid in May of 2020, Blake was eager to pop the question to Emily. To Emily’s surprise, Blake planned an intimate and beautiful engagement at the park, where he brought in sand to make it feel as if they were on the tropical shores of Mexico.
Inspired by the elegance and charm of the romantic manicured Italian gardens, this luxurious and enchanting garden wedding editorial at The Peach Orchard, perfectly captured by Amy Maddox Photography, is one for the storybooks.
