Sarah and Samuel are getting married next July at Robert Carr Chapel at TCU with their reception at The Colonial Country Club.  These two met at college in Tyler then moved to TCU together to pursue their degree’s to prepare to be doctor’s.  I love that they are so perfectly matched and I can completely see them working together in a hospital or office taking care of patients together all of there days.  I admire couples that have the same passions in their professions and can work so well together.  Can’t wait for their wedding next year!

Lyndsay and Brandon gave me a TON of time with the for Romantic portraits and that made me one very happy photographer.  Not only did we get to photograph at Robert Carr chapel but we swung by The Modern for a few photos and the old post office before heading on to the reception at T&P Station.  Read on for more about their night and of course their highlights slide show.

So tender and sweet.

Lyndsay had a great group of beautiful bridesmaids.

The boys wanted a football shot so we pulled this out and I LOVE it.  They were having a great time goofing off together.

This shot was a request by the couple that they had seen from a previous wedding, it is still a great shot. 

Loved their laughs and the closeness during the first dance.

A phenomenal end to a great first dance as husband and wife.

Brandon and his Mom.

Lyndsay and her Dad.

The band was rocking all night long!

And then we partied!

The band invited the couple off to goof off for the last song.

Wonderfully lit last dance shot.

Off to Hawaii!!!!

Lyndsay and Brandon were married a few weeks ago at Robert Carr Chapel on Texas Christian University’s campus with a reception to follow at the Historic T&P Station.  Today I am thrilled to share my favorites from their preparations and ceremony.  Above I stole these two away right after the ceremony and gave them a few moments alone and I just love this image.  The shadows, them sharing a few words, absolute LOVE.   These two were SO expressionistic so I had way too many special photos to choose from but I had to narrow it down (so tough!)  Read on for more about their day and check back tomorrow for part 2.

Big shout out to Brittney Ann who stepped in to help us a bit for this wedding and took a few of the lovely details above.  Your the best!

Only dislike about Robert Carr is their getting ready “classrooms” BUT I do love it in this instance because of the sweet heart drawn on the chalkboard behind my bride as she prepares to get married.

Becoming a bride.

Mom helping with the beautiful pearl necklace Lyndsay received from her groom.

Nervous hands with a killer engagement ring and a family heirloom ring on her right hand.  I just fell in love with this at her bridal session.  It is so special when brides can incorporate an heirloom into their ensemble.

After the minister came into sign the marriage license pre-ceremony the guys clapped and laughed.

Best thing about having a third shooter – a photographer stationed with the bride and her Dad to get photos like this!

Her Daddy definitely loves her, look at how he looks at her as she looks on to Brandon.

And as he looks at her, he cries.  SWOON..

Lyndsay couldn’t keep herself from crying either.

A sweet impromptu embrace after walking out of the chapel.   Tomorrow Romantic portraits, bridal party and reception photos!

I am beyond excited about this couples wedding.  I love when I get to work with families over and over again because I get to know them so well that it feels like I am hanging out with old friends.  Mallory’s sister, Kendall, was married last December so when their Mom, Stacey, called me earlier this year to let me know we were having another wedding I was stoked!  It is neat seeing the differences in these two sisters and getting to know Mallory now as a bride.

Mallory and Ryan met at TCU while attending a dorm meeting, they lived on the same floor but on opposite sides of the building.  They have been together ever since and will be getting married in March at Robert Carr Chapel (just like her Mom & Dad before her) with her reception at Stonegate Mansion.  For their engagement session we spent some time together at the Stockyards, down town Fort Worth and the TCU campus of course.  I loved that they brought along their bull dog Chunky for the photos and was so glad to get to see Mallory’s Mom & Dad as they acted as our expert Dog Wranglers.  Can’t wait to see them all again soon!

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
