Houston bachelorette

Today I wanted to share a few pictures from my trip to Houston a week ago for my girlfriend's bachelorette party!  I'm still really new to my camera and this is one of the first couple of "events" I took photographs for.  Definitely working on all of the settings but had fun taking these pictures!! Her party was so cute and we had a blast on a pub crawl in downtown Houston.  Of course I didn't take my camera along for the drinking shenanigans ;-)  Thank you, Alison, for letting me photograph your party!!!  The Matron of Honor and one of the bridesmaids planned this party and they did such a good job!  I've done my best to tag a few sources.

Bride to be!

We're coming up on 2 weeks away!!! AH!! I can't believe how quickly these last few weeks are flying by!  I'm getting so excited for the wedding!  Today I'm sharing some of my favorite pics from my bridal shower a few weeks ago, as well as my full outfit details!  A huge thank you to my Maid of Honor, Kristina, for coordinating everything, and to all of my bridesmaids!  All photography is by my good friend Brandy (Darmon's Photography)

Happy Friday y'all!!! What are your plans for the weekend?  I'll be continuing the wedding festivities with some bachelorette partying! Can't wait!
