From the moment I met Alyssa and Leo at the Lubbock Bridal Showcase, I just knew their wedding was going to be something truly special. They had that spark between them—the kind of connection that made you smile just being around them. And after learning their story, it all made sense.
These two first crossed paths at work, where Alyssa had just started and Leo was still a student. They became instant friends, but even though there were undeniable sparks, they kept things professional. Life had other plans, though. When Leo started working at Encompass, they found themselves drawn even closer. Quiet hangouts turned into something more, and when Alyssa met Nayeli, everything seemed to click. From that moment on, they’ve been inseparable.
When it came time to plan their wedding, they toured several venues—but nothing quite compared to Madewell Estates. As Alyssa said, “There was just something special about Madewell and Haley.” And truly, there is. Madewell is a venue that feels warm and full of light, and it was the perfect setting for their soft, romantic wedding day.
Alyssa and Leo chose a color palette of blue and pastel tones—gentle hues that reflected their calm, sweet love for one another. Blue, being a favorite color for both of them, tied everything together in the most meaningful way. From florals to bridal party attire, their wedding felt fresh, dreamy, and full of heart.
Photographing their day was such a joy. They brought genuine connection, laughter, and love into every moment—from their emotional ceremony to the fun-packed dance floor at the reception. Every detail was so them, and it was an honor to document it all.
Alyssa and Leo, thank you for trusting me to capture this beautiful chapter of your love story. I’m so grateful our paths crossed—and even more grateful that I got to witness the beginning of your forever!
