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:

We are so excited to announce the newest addition to the Tracy Autem & Lightly Photography Family. Gideon Matthew was born October 13 at 8:02 am . He weighed 9lbs and 3 oz and is 20.5 inches. I was so blessed to be there when Tracy and her husband got to hold their precious baby boy for the very first time and I wanted to share some of those images. Of course I couldn’t help but cry as I experienced their joy with them. We all truly are a family.

Today Lauren is getting married which means I can finally share her bridal portraits!  I love this girl, she is all about the drama, big hair, fabulous-ness and Hollywood flair that makes me smile.  Lauren, along with her Mom and maid of honor, joined me at Bass Hall a few weeks before her wedding to kick off her bridal session.  I love when I’m able to have 2 locations at bridal portraits that offer different feelings for my brides.  Bass Hall offered the open, light, bright and airy feeling I wanted while our second location, Fort Worth Club, has that classic vintage drama I adore. Enjoy (I sure did!)

I am so excited to share this wedding!  I have known the Groom, TJ, for many a years and I was super thrilled to share in his wedding day. Their day was a complete tear jerk-er but I’ll tell more about that in Part 2 of their wedding blog.  This one is all about the pretty.  Brandi had always had her eyes on Old Red Courthouse in Dallas for her wedding and she could not have picked a more perfect venue for her vintage chic wedding.  Wendy with Birds of a Feather Events helped pull it all together with cute silhouettes of the bride and groom on cookies and wall art.  Wendy also made the most beautiful hand sewn flowers for the place settings and brought together a fabulous array of vintage books and items to complete the decor.  Brandi wore a gorgeous gown from Pence & Panache in Burleson while her bridesmaids wore Priscilla of Boston.  The simply delicious brides cake and the zombie grooms cake were made by Sugar Bee Sweets.  Kabloom provided the magnificent floral and Randy Ro Entertainment kept us dancing all night long.  I can’t wait to share the little things that made me have watery eyes ALL day soon.

Aimee and Adam had some to die for warm light at sunset that we fully took advantage of before they headed off to party the night away at their reception.  It was such a fabulous day and here is there highlights reel to show off all the fun they had!
