She’s been with the McLeod team for almost a month and now it’s time we introduced her to you. Please welcome to The One Bride Guide, our new Sales Executive, Sara Martisek! Sara joins us from Waco, Texas where she recently graduated from Baylor University with a BA in Journalism and Public Relations. We could tell you more, but instead, we’ll let her do this. So, without further ado…
Name: Sara Martisek
Tell us about your hometown: This has always been a tricky question for me! I was born and raised in the small town of Beeville, Texas, just one hour north of Corpus Christi. This is where my love for Mexican food, the beach, and South Texas all began. However, early into my teen years, my family packed up and moved to an even smaller town, Hallettsville, Texas. This “City of Hospitality” is home to the Championship Fiddler’s Frolics, Kolache Fest & Parade, and the State Championship Domino Tournament. Who knew??
What brought you to Corpus Christi: My job at McLeod Creative and The One. My fiancé also lives and works in the Corpus Christi area, so it was nice to take a job that brought us closer together.
Favorite thing to do in South Texas: I like to run on the bay front, go shopping with friends and spend time with Luke. We love going to the movies and eating at our favorite restaurant, Water Street Seafood Co. These days, I’m also really into decorating my new apartment here in Corpus Christi.
What is your role with The One: I handle advertising sales for The One. I’m also enjoying getting to know and work with the driven, creative and fun team at McLeod!
Sara and her fiancé, Luke

This week we wrapped up press checks for the latest issue of The One over at Golden Banner Press. The issue is looking beautiful, and we are very excited to get it out on the stands this June! Here are some behind the scenes photos of the printing process that goes in to each issue of the magazine.

Whether in the wild flowers, on the beach, or in an old historic building, South Texas offers a variety of beautiful locations for bridal portrait sessions, and our local photographers know how to use them to their advantage. Here is a small collection of bridal shots that we adore.

Name: Ashley Drapal Rippke
Tell us about your hometown: Ames, Iowa is home to 50,000 people, Iowa State University, and the ISU Cyclones (yeah, I know, your Texas football teams beat us all the time). Centrally located just 30 minutes North of the state’s capitol of Des Moines, it is an easy drive to many of the Midwest’s largest cities. Ames is a “small” city, but uses it’s college town status to it’s advantage. It is diverse in culture, entertainment, and most importantly…food. If you happen to be driving by on I-35 you should definitely stop and grab a bite at Battles BBQ. Seriously.
What brought you to Corpus Christi: My job with McLeod Creative and The One. Three years ago my husband and both agreed to leave the midwest and try something new after graduation, so when we were offered this opportunity we packed up and headed South.
Favorite thing to do in South Texas: You mean besides driving through Nano’s Tacos every Saturday morning? Hmm… Well, I must admit, I’m a bit of a homebody. Since moving here we’ve made some fantastic friends (cheeeeeesy, I know. But true.) and honestly my favorite thing to do is just get together and hang out. Nothing fancy. Just time spent together. Oh, and game nights. I mean, who doesn’t love game nights, right?
What is your role with The One: I’m the girl peeking out from behind the computer screen. My role as the graphic designer is to design and layout the articles, photos, resources and certain ads for each new issue. I have also been directing some of my energy to our new social media efforts, so make sure to stop by our facebook and twitter to say hi so I don’t get lonely!
