Coming to Park hill Ranch was such a treasure as wedding photographer, since it has EXACTLY what any bride may want. Then spending the day shooting with the gorgeous Taylor Lowery was just literally icing on the cake. Here is my feature from Charm Magazine East Texas and story on Park Hill Ranch, styled by the talented Leigh Ann Farmer with florals from Liza’s Garden , cake artistry by the Tastry and dress by Maggie Sottero of Rubie & Jane Bridal Boutique. Enjoy!

 Nestled in the rolling hills of Crockett, on over 100 acres of land is the timeless weddings and events venue, Park Hill Farm which is owned and operated by Rings True Events. The property boasts several buildings, from barns to cottages, however its main gem is the century and a half old mansion at the top of the hill. The 6,000 square foot mansion was built by Tom Collins prior to the civil war and it is everything from charming to timeless. The front and back facade nearly mirror each other and there are screened in back porches where a sweet southern tea would be perfect on a hot day. This venue is everything a bride may want to have on her wedding day, but more than that Park Hill Ranch is equipped to give an inclusive week of wedding bliss to remember and also serve as a getaway for couples and families alike.

    Owners Dan and Kim Huggins and Robert and Laurie Norris came to acquire the property over a year an half ago and since then have poured a labor of love into restoring it into a masterpiece. One example is literally  wallpaper peeling off the walls, so they went so far as to restore the existing wall paper to ensure the historical and stately nature of the mansion. From there they have the 2 guest cottages and are also converting a barn to sleeping accommodations, in order to provide lodging for over 40 people. Final designs are being drawn up for their large, glass reception hall and catering kitchen which will be a new structure and will somewhat mirror the look of the mansion, with plans to have competition by this late summer.
  As a wedding photographer myself, and owner of The Silhouette Studio Photography, I have photographed hundreds of weddings at countless event venues. When coming to Park Hill Ranch I was blown away as soon as I pulled through the gate. They have the timelessness of the stately mansion that shouts nothing but forever from it’s centuries old foundation and the landscape provides views that rival the rolling hills of central Texas with the faint outlines of the East Texas Pineywood Forest. The sun sets a golden hue along the hills of the rolling pasture with longhorns grazing and horses galloping off in the distance. This is something out of a movie and the entire farm is reminiscent of everything the south embodies; family, tradition, value and celebration to name a few. This venue is sure to leave a lasting impression on your closest friends and family, as well as provide a place to cultivate memories that will last a lifetime.

Sarah is prompt, professional, on-point, and incredibly talented. But, more than that she's fun, and easy to be around, she makes you feel comfortable. My husband and I are not really "in front of camera" people, but Sarah managed to make us feel at ease and happy and (if nothing else) make the pictures look beautiful. Sarah is also a wizard. We got our pictures back SO QUICKLY. They're edited, there are a ton of them, they're beautifully shot. You can tell she loves what she does. You can really see it in the way she cares for you.

"Words can’t describe how amazing Sarah is, her work is exceptional and her personality makes working with her so easy. Almost every married couple will tell you that photography is the most important part of your special day and I can’t agree more. The day goes by so fast and I love that we have every moment documented thanks to Sarah. She has a way of capturing every detail and creating memories that will last forever. I am looking forward to working with her in the future, there’s no one better than her!"

"I could not suggest Sarah more as a wedding photographer!! She takes breathtaking photos, is incredibly professional and easy to get along with. She has incredible "little touches" as a photographer that make the experience that much more amazing. I would've invited her to my wedding if she wasn't my photographer. She's been a professional photographer for many years and knows what she's doing. Her turn around time is great, and she worked really hard on our wedding day, and editing our photos. I felt like her only bride despite her have multiple weddings every weekend this past fall. AMAZING. "

"The Silhouette Studio delivered the most breathtaking photographs I have ever seen for our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. The work simply speaks for itself, but there are so many additional attributes of this specific photographer that contribute to the many high quality ratings she has so rightly earned. Most importantly, her professionalism is unmatched. She kept our wedding timeline completely on track while capturing each and every precious memory in a way that did not take away from enjoying those moments. Her clear vision and assertive nature mean that not a minute of time is wasted waiting around on a day that zooms by so quickly. Sarah is a creative leader who captures timeless keepsakes effortlessly. Her commitment to getting to know her clients really impressed me, and it made following her lead easy and comfortable. Her turnaround time is UNREAL as we got to see all of our wedding pictures before we were married one month! I could not say enough positive things about this photographer or her commitment to growth and excellence. We are so thankful to have found a photographer for ALL of our future lifetime events! "
