A wedding day full of Southern elegance, lakeside views, and timeless details
On the first Saturday in May—also known as Derby Day—Caitlyn and Tyler brought their wedding vision to life with a celebration that beautifully combined the refinement of the Kentucky Derby with the relaxed charm of the Texas Hill Country. Hosted at the stunning Horseshoe Bay Resort, their wedding was as joyful as it was elegant.
From wide-brimmed hats and mint juleps to live Derby coverage during cocktail hour, every detail of the day reflected the couple’s style and story. The ceremony took place overlooking Lake LBJ, followed by a lakeside reception filled with warm spring light, incredible food, and unforgettable music.

A Note From the Photographer
One of my favorite moments was during golden hour when we stepped away for a few quiet portraits along the lake and golf course. The joy, the stillness, and the beauty of the setting were a sweet time for Caitlyn and Tyler to enjoy time with one another before the reception started. These are the kinds of weddings I love to photograph—where luxury meets meaning, and every detail has heart.
