If you have followed along with us over the years, you will know that our life is always an adventure and full of changes! What started as newlywed cattle ranchers with a blog for our family has turned in to an international wedding photography business. We are constantly making renovations to our little home in the middle of nowhere and jump at fun adventures that come our way. Sushi is even something we love nowadays! We can't help but smile at how life works and how quickly things change.

Our whirlwind journey has blessed us with crossing paths with some wonderful people. As our business has grown over the years, other photographers, newer to the industry have reached out to us for knowledge, just like we still do to the photographers and business owners we admire. It is similar to those lengthy visits we love with our grandparents - soaking in every word and piece of advice from someone who has experienced so much.


A few years ago, Lindsey got in touch with us and wanted to set up a full-day mentoring session. When we got together, in the mix of photography questions, we got to know Lindsey personally and quickly knew that we were going to be friends. First, she is such a kind and caring person, but WOW, she has a talent for photography like no other. We kept checking in with her after our time together, and each set of images she posted was better than the last. She impressed and inspired us to be better at our own craft. When we find someone we connect with so much, we don't want to let them go!

In 2012, we shot 30 weddings. We had an amazing time getting to know all of those couples and their families, but we found that with shooting their engagements, bridal sessions, and their wedding days, we didn't have the time we wanted to to relax, spend time with our friends and family, participate in church activities, or just couch it. In 2013, we decided we wanted to cap our number at 15 weddings, but we ended up shooting 19 weddings because we just couldn't say no to the fantastic couples who came our way.

We received 289 emails to our website from couples inquiring with us about shooting their 2013 wedding. We shot 19 weddings last year. That means we had to tell a lot of FANTASTIC couples that we were booked. Or that we had too many weddings that month. Or that we were out of their price range.

We started thinking... what if some of those couples could still be taken care of by OUR business? What if they could receive the same spectacular photography experience from start to finish, just with another photographer shooting their pictures? It would have to be someone who fit a very challenging resume: outgoing personality, polished, professional, friendly, trustworthy, and of course, a talented photographer. There was one person who immediately came to our mind: Lindsey.

Soo..... many conversations and emails later, we are beyond excited to officially announce that Lindsey has joined our team as a company photographer for Luke and Cat Photography! Lindsey is based out of Victoria, Texas and is available for weddings in Texas and beyond! Over the past year, Lindsey has been going with us to help second (or third) shoot weddings and learning the ropes of how WE do things, as we started to book weddings for Lindsey for 2014. Lindsey shot the first wedding of 2014 for our business, which we featured on the blog yesterday (check it out!) and we thought it was the perfect time to introduce you to her!


Enjoy some film photos of Lindsey and her perfect family at their place! By the way - this beautiful pasture is one of the places where Lindsey shoots. Lucky her!

We're so excited for the future and feel so lucky to have such an amazing photographer on board with us. Welcome Lindsey!
