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:

The ballroom at The Omni Hotel in Fort Worth was breathtaking and this photo above from the couples private last dance at the end of their evening shows off SO much of the beauty of their day.  It highlights the amazing lighting and decor as well as their closeness, pretty darn cool!  Once we arrived at the Omni the celebration was in full effect and Tami Winn and her team had set a backdrop that was flawless and elegant with winter whites and vibrant reds for this December wedding.  Once the couple hit the room it was full of laughter and chatter and the dance floor stayed packed as everyone hit the floor to party!  It was so sweet to see everyone, young and old, enjoying the festivities.  Read on for more about their night and of course their wedding day highlights slide show:

Yolanda and Eddie will be getting married in a few years when he finishes he commitment with the military and Yolanda completes college.  This session was very special to me as I have know Yolanda since she was a freshman in high school.  She was a member of my drill team when I was a teacher and has always held a special place in my heart.  I photographed her quinceanera portraits and when she asked me to be there for her engagements I was beyond thrilled.  I am so proud of the woman she has become and it brought me such joy that she has found a strong and supportive man to stand besides her.  Congrats you two and  I know you have great things ahead of you!

Lauren married her best friend 2 Saturday’s ago on a VERY blustery and rainy day at OW Ranch.  It was beautifully imperfect and they made me get goose bumps.  Her bridals give me similar feelings, I love them!  On another some what rainy day we headed to the Fort Worth Stockyards for some bridals with a vintage, laid back country feel.  I loved her little puppy dog Motley she brought along and dressed him for the occasion in a sweet bow tie.  Can’t wait to share their wedding photos soon!

Kelsey and Matt were married this past weekend at Aristide Event Center so I get to share her bridal portraits!!!!  Thistle Hill in Fort Worth is one of my favorite spots to photograph bridals and it is seriously around the corner from our studio.  It offers so many beautiful options with vintage furnishings, sweeping windows and staircases and lots of opportunities for me to play with some drama.  I had not been to this historic mansion in a while so I was excited to be there again with such a beautiful subject.  Kelsey is easy to photograph, her sweet smiles and amazing figure make for perfect images.  I loved her gown by Bliss Bridal and floral by my friend Deitra of Lush Couture.  Can’t wait to share the wedding that Julie Eastman with Extraordinary Events made into perfection!
