Rebecca recognized us and introduced herself as a blog stalker, and we\u2019ve been friends ever since! I&#8217;ve heard of people who light up a room just by being in it, and Rebecca is totally that person. Seriously- the lights in a room she enters increase by at <em>least<\/em> 30%. Rebecca&#8217;s husband Joe is sweet and funny and you should <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joeymartens\">click here to follow him on Twitter<\/a>! We don\u2019t see them nearly as much as we\u2019d like to, they are two of the kindest people I\u2019ve ever known and I\u2019m always leaving our visits wanting more time with them!<\/p>\n<p>On our last dinner date with them, Rebecca and Joe let us know they were doing the &#8220;m&#8221; word.

Anyway, Rebecca and Joe were moving back to Rebecca&#8217;s home state of Texas (stupid Texas), and they asked us to take some photos of them around their first home before they had to box up and take things off walls.<\/p>\n<p>It was my secret plan to do so well taking these photos that they&#8217;d never want to leave home!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13032\" alt=\"Root Photography\" src=\"http:\/\/rootweddings.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_092.jpg\" width=\"910\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_092.jpg 910w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_092-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_092-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13033\" alt=\"Root Photography\" src=\"http:\/\/rootweddings.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_093.jpg\" width=\"910\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_093.jpg 910w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_093-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_093-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13034\" alt=\"Root Photography\" src=\"http:\/\/rootweddings.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_094.jpg\" width=\"910\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_094.jpg 910w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_094-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_094-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13035\" alt=\"Root Photography\" src=\"http:\/\/rootweddings.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_095.jpg\" width=\"910\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_095.jpg 910w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_095-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_095-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13036\" alt=\"Root Photography\" src=\"http:\/\/rootweddings.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_096.jpg\" width=\"910\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_096.jpg 910w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_096-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_096-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We set this shot up&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13037\" alt=\"Root Photography\" src=\"http:\/\/rootweddings.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_0971.jpg\" width=\"910\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_0971.jpg 910w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_0971-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rootweddings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/RootWeddings_0971-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;
