Last weekend I drove straight down highway 290 from Dripping Springs and arrived at the incredible historic dairy barn event venue in Brenham, Texas- The Grand Texana. My second cousin, Emma, was getting married to Jonathan Fish and this wedding was so special to me!

Our grandparents owned the Bodine Brother’s Dairy in Colorado City, Texas and I grew up sneaking into that barn and searching for treasures from times past. My grandad was the last dairyman in Texas to deliver milk to your door and my mom would tell me stories of working there as the delivery girl and leaving the glass cartons on her friends’ front porches.

I loved that Emma chose this venue for her wedding as a reminder of our family’s heritage.

The details at Emma’s wedding were fabulous! She had a very specific vision for her reception and did it all herself!

Emma and her sister were the flower girls in my wedding 15 years ago and I was the flower girl in their mother’s wedding 28 years ago! I was so thankful to be a part of both of their big days as their wedding photographer.
