The story


Steven and Dessie met at the Archer County Rodeo in Texas on his birthday. Dessie's friends kept telling her there was this cute cowboy she needed to meet. When they first met, Steven rode over to her, got off his horse, took off his hat, and shook her hand. From that point on, they were inseparable!


6 years later, Steven proposed at a friend's ranch. Dessie is a photographer. While she was taking photos, Steven suggested they take one together. She handed her camera to a friend and Steven got down on one knee and said, "You know I love you, Dess?"


The two will be married September 10 in their small Texas town. I absolutely can't wait to photograph this cowboy wedding. These two fulfill all of my western vibes!!
