Looks Like Film Portraits | South Padre Island, TX | June 2015

I met Ellie in the airport, both about to board a plane to South Padre Island.  She’s made this trip every year of her life, this was my first time.
But we were both eager to get to the beach to feel the wind and waves.

Ellie didn’t know what Katy and I had planned.  That we were going to bring their Mother’s Wedding Dress back to the beach.
The beach that held so many beautiful family memories.  Where many more memories are yet to be made.

So when she found out, it was only fitting that she slip into the same dress and take her turn.
Staring at the waves.
Sand in toes.
Holding a bouquet of beach flowers… beautiful… all dressed in white.

Ellie, you are going to be a beautiful Bride someday.

With Gratitude,

Kate
