Crystal’s Bridals – A work of Art at the McNay Art Museum

Today was awesome. I am pooped!

For some reason all week I was super excited about these bridals, even on the way the anticipation grew and I had a good feeling. The McNay Art Museum was beautiful, even driving in I was seeing spots I wanted to shoot. The only thing more beautiful than the McNay was Crystal! Take a look….

Here are some of my favs from the day, but it was so hard to choose!!

Be sure to check out all the photos in the gallery below!!:)I recommend full screen!
