On a VERY hot day earlier this year I trekked down to Temple, Texas to meet up with my bride Kelli and her Mom for her bridal portraits.  We headed out into the hill country to a ranch owned by a family friend where this tiny little church sits.  It was so little only about 20 people could fit comfortably inside but it was perfect for her bridal portraits.  I have been dying to share them and now that these two are married I finally can!  Look back soon for their wedding photos.

I am a little excited about these bridal portraits.  I have been chomping at the bit to share them because I love this bride, this location and well it was kind of a perfect combination.  Rachel has a background in drama and the theater so from the moment I met her I knew an old vintage theater would be THE place for her bridals.  It took some major string pulling and praying but we got what I wanted and were able to photograph at The Majestic in downtown Dallas.  It could not have been more perfect and I think it definitely goes on the list of favorite places to shoot.

Meghan is an absolute stunner and her bridals kind of take my breath away.  We explored the Dallas Arboretum then enjoyed the Stoneleigh Hotel Penthouse floor.  The hotel may be my new favorite location with it luxe furniture, chandeliers, great big windows and overall perfect design.  Thanks to Tami Winn Events for the beautiful bouquet and her Mom, best friend and Aunts who joined us and made me laugh and helped during the session.

Lyndsay’s wedding at Robert Carr Chapel and T&P Building was a beautiful day that we were so lucky to be a part of.  If you want to see more photos of this gorgeous bride see her wedding photography blogs Part 1 & Part 2.  For Lyndsay’s bridals we met up at Fort Worth Club.  Your bridal portraits are a chance to have photos taken at a location you don’t have access to on your wedding day and the club was a perfect fit for Lyndsay’s strapless lace gown with beading on the bodice.  Lyndsay found the dress at Bridal Boutique of Lewisville.  After enjoying the wrought iron, classic furniture and amazing window light we headed to the Botanic Gardens.

Courtney was married last month at Broadway Baptist & City Club of Fort Worth.  In November we photographed her bridal portraits at her reception venue as well as The Botanic Gardens and Courtney’s sister tagged along.  To see more of Courtney’s wedding and engagement photos see here.
