After Reagan & Tanners perfect ceremony we headed out to City Club for a really fun reception.  Because they did a first look earlier in the day we spent some time wit the two of them alone just as the light was becoming my favorite orange tone.  It takes a while for guests and family to transfer locations so it is best to take advantage of that time with fabulous photos.  At City Club we were met by 3 men wearing kits and weilding bag pipes!  They helped make the very special announcement of the Mr & Mrs to the wedding guests in the ballroom.  After a delicious beef dinner Reagan’s Dad took the floor for a toast of sorts.  He had prepared a speech along with some special gifts for the newlyweds.  We were so privlaged to be a part of these two’s wedding and I can’t wait to see them again!

Reagan and Tanner had some fabulous vendors including:

City Club Fort Worth

First United Methodist Church

Omni Hotel

Turquoise Productions Video

Mary Parks Arrangements

DJ Chicken George

Magnolia Ave Salon

Patsy’s Bridal – Bridal Gown

Norsdstrom – Bridesmaid Attire

I think Part 2 of Brandi & TJ”s engagement session may include some of my favorite photos from their day.  They are filled with themes and a little silly, like the couple.  Having a theme at your engagement session is in no way a requirement.  In fact very few of my couples like to bring in specific props and view points.  When they do it gives me a road map to play with though and I always enjoy that.   It is also artistically a challenge as I have to find a way to bring their concepts to life.

Brandi & TJ both love the movies and specifically Star Wars.  From the very start they joked about lightsabers but I fully encouraged it and they were bought and a duel did ensue at their session.  These two met with Brandi in TJ’s chair as he was (and always will be) her hairdresser.  They wanted to play on that and do a switch – a roo with her holding the scissors for a change.  We shot this role reversing scene at Magnolia Ave Salon where TJ styles hair.  I created a one of a kind Entertainment Weekly magazine cover featuring their favorite movie and a save the date and we just played!

I love you both and can’t wait to photograph you again…..oh and TJ, my hair badly needs to be done.    See you Wednesday for my hair appointment!  (I trust you more than  Brandi with those scissors.)
