Seth introduced me to all of his friends, took me to all the ropings, and we tried every Mexican restaurant in the town. At the time, we were strictly just buds, but I think unintentionally we started to like each other a little…..

A lot happens on the grass of the World-Famous Pendleton Round-Up grounds, but arguably none more magical than when PRCA tie-down roper Bo Pickett and hometown town sweetheart Taighler Dougherty say their ‘I-do’s’ in the company of their closest family and friends. 

And as they cowboyed together and became the best team, they fell in love. 
During our shoot, they wanted a shot of them roping together, and I was more than happy to oblige. I haven’t met any other brides who’ve been willing to rope in their wedding dress. I believe that the couple that can cowboy together, stays together. 

It was an intimate and romantic setting on the mountainside and we had each spot we visited to ourselves. Their day was exactly what she had hoped and dreamed of.

We decided to elope because we wanted to spend our special day doing things that we enjoyed. We went fishing in the morning and caught trout, had mimosas at our campsite before the ceremony, and ended the night eating burgers and s’mores around our fire. And I wouldn’t change a thing. 

All of you that know Kate and Stan know they have completely different personalities.  Opposites attract they say, but Kate and Stan are definitely kindred spirits. Your soul is what makes you the person you are, and they both have the most confident, kind, genuine, giving , loyal, ambitious souls that bonds them together. They laugh and joke with each other and you can tell by the way they look at each other they are home.”

Our wedding day was nothing but perfect! The weather was beautiful and everything from the flowers to the food was amazing. Today I can still say that Devin is the kindest human being around. He puts himself last before everyone else and will do anything for anyone. He puts me first and like I said in our vows to him “All the hard work you do for me and our future, the kind jesters, and every morning forehead kiss before you go to work do not go unnoticed, I promise.” I could not have asked for a better human being to call my soulmate.

Kevin likes to tell the story that I reached out first online to say hi……but I know different! Regardless who “made the first move”,I Thank God everyday that we did make contact or this story would not have been written. Fast forward 2 1/2 years, we exchanged personally handwritten vows in front of family and close friends in the intimacy of our backyard on our farm in East Texas.  It was a perfect day with wonderful weather, beautiful flowers, delicious food and a band that rocked the barn!

THE LOVE STORY“Let’s just start by saying, “Go Devils”! Our love story started at ASU where we were neighbors in the dorms. We instantly became friends and spent every day together whether we were studying, going to eat at one of the glorious dining halls, or learning how to drink beer (well, Layne was learning).From […]

As dust settled in the arena, the crowd roared. Wyatt had just finished the bronc ride he would remember for the rest of his life. Instead of walking back to the chutes, he made his way over to the crowd & slipped through the bars. Kelsey was waiting for him. In front of the all the cowboys and gals gathered at the grounds that night, he knelt down on one knee and proposed to the love of his life. And, of course, she said yes! Fast forward over months of planning to the perfect wedding that is about to take place!
