Jennifer and Perry are getting hitched this coming fall at St Patricks Cathedral in downtown Fort Worth.  We completely hit it off when we met the first time so I was looking forward to hanging out with them at their Engagement.  When Perry walked up he greeted me with a big hug, yep, I like this guy.  I love groom’s that are excited about their wedding, their wife to be and photography!  I also adore that this couple went outside the box, they selected Chandor Gardens for their session.  A definite favorite of mine for bridal portraits but they are my first clients to ever choose it for engagements!  It is an awesome location for any type of photography.  We enjoyed the gardens before heading to a few other spots I like in Weatherford and then got their fur children involved (they have 3 precious doggies).  It was perfect and we finished up right as some storm clouds were rolling in!  Thanks guys for hanging out with me, see you soon!

Enjoy some more favorites from their Weatherford Engagement photos in their slideshow:

Rebecca and Jason are a match in every way.  Jason’s sense of humor definitely caught Rebecca’s attention and I can see why.  Together these two are not stop laughs and smiles.  The ability to laugh together is necessary in a marriage and since they have that in spades I think they could overcome a lot of hard times and really enjoy the good.  For their session we strolled the Botanic Gardens of Fort Worth before hitting up downtown near Sundance Square, the site of their first date.  Jason kept her busy from dinner at La Cantina Laredo, ice cream and a comedy show that evening and I don’t think they have ever stopped.  I can’t wait for their fall wedding ceremony and reception at City Club of Fort Worth!

Here are some more faves of mine from their Fort Worth Engagement Session Highlights reel:

OH my goodness.  I am SOOOOOO in love with this couple and their session.  I had a blast running around Dallas with them and didn’t want the session to end, unfortunately it had to as they were prepping to jet off to Mexico the next morning for a friends wedding.  These two have a great story, they met playing sand volleyball!  Don’t you love that?  I do so we met up at a bar that hosts sand volleyball games every week and where they often play for some fun photos showing off one of their passions.  I loved their “POOK” balls (so named as Jarred took up jokingly calling Kristy Pookie when they started dating.)  Then we headed off for some nature and white rock lake then some glamour in down town Dallas.  We hit up some of my favorites in the arts district near Winspear Opera House and Nasher Sculpture Center before ending with the Skyline at dusk.  All in all an awesome session and I am stoked for their October wedding!

Kelley & John are awesome.  I had such a great time hanging out with them and I am so looking forward to their intimate wedding at Robert Carr Chapel and Artspace 111 later this year.  Kelley is originally from Houston and John is a native North Texan but their paths crossed at TCU through mutual friends.  These two are full of laughs and I can see how much John cares for her because his eyes light up and he smiles HUGE when he looks at her.  Thanks guys for exploring some rustic and some not so rustic urban locales with me around Fort Worth!

Richelle and Travis live in Houston but are getting married here at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Van Cliburn at Bass Hall.  I was glad we could squeeze them in for their session on a beautiful day while they were up for he weekend working on planning.  So many of our couples plan from out of town making the process more challenging.  The light was amazing, the weather was warm and these two were oh so adorable.  It was great to get to know Travis and see Richelle interact with him.  See you both soon!
