Tran & Adam – Wedding Reception at The Modern Art MuseumFort Worth, Texas

Details

After saying their vows we snuck off to The Modern for sunset photos while Tran & Adam’s guests enjoyed a champagne hour and appetizers by Magdalena’s at the Gardens.  Then it was time to celebrate with their family and friends in the Grand Lobby – always a favorite location of mine.  The party was full of kind words, toasts, dance floor fun and delicious food.  Later in the evening Tran made an outfit changed and wore a cute and comfy white pant suit by Rime Arodaky so she could get in all the dance floor moves!

Thanks Tran & Adam for sharing your day with me, your love for each other and showing me your hearts.  You are amazing people with such respect and honor for each other – I can’t wait to see your life unfold together.  Their day couldn’t have happened with out an awesome squad of vendors led by the fabulous Tami Winn:

Tran & Adam – Wedding Ceremony at Botanic GardensFort Worth, Texas

Ceremony

Tran and Adam said I do in a sweet garden ceremony in the Fuller Gardens at The Botanic Gardens of Fort Worth.  It could not have been more perfect with lovely warm light and some of the kindest and most beautifully written wedding vows I have ever heard.  The sweetest thing was Adam telling Tran her vows were better than his after the ceremony – these two really cheer each other on and have the most loving relationship.

 

Thanks to the vendor team for making this wedding ceremony a success!

Tran & Adam – Wedding Prep & First Look at Omni HotelFort Worth, Texas

Details

Adam & Tran had a beautiful wedding day and they totally made me cry during their first look.  These two have a deep connection and love for each other and it was so apparent during their first sight.  As Adam turned to see Tran they were just so filled with joy to be together.  As they took time to talk, catch up and connect it was beautiful – I love when couples really use their first look as a time to be present and enjoy each other.  The wedding day goes by so fast and the beauty in a first look is that we have the opportunity to slow down and be in the moment.

Thank you to the wedding team that made Tran & Adam’s day so beautiful and smooth:

Ashlea & Mark – Wedding Reception at Ashton DepotFort Worth, Texas

Details

Ashela & Mark’s wedding was whimsical, fun and magical – these two brought their personalities to life in the wedding design and performances.  Ashlea and Mark changed out of their traditional wedding attire to fun reception outfits just in time for their choreographed first dance to “A Whole New World” from Aladdin – it was precious!  Once the party got started though it was kicked up to another level as everyone had a blast on the dance floor.  Thanks Ashley and Mark for giving me the honor of getting to know you, be part of your love story and witness the beginning of your happily ever after!  I know the future will be full of lots of laughter and adventures.

This wedding was gorgeous and fun thanks to my vendor friends who worked along side me:

Ashlea & Mark – Wedding Ceremony at Marty Leonard ChapelFort Worth, Texas

Ceremony

After Ashlea & Mark had their first look we walked around downtown before heading to Marty Leonard Chapel.  For their ceremony they had sweet words of poetry, readings and a dance!  That’s right – a beautiful dance routine to honor their marriage was performed in the middle of the ceremony.  It was so emotional and meaningful as Ashlea is a dance therapist and these two are both very connected in movement through yoga and other activities.  I loved it!  After their vows we did some night time portraits before getting ready to PARTY!

Thanks to the following vendor team for making the ceremony a success!

Ashlea & Mark – Preparations & First Look at Worthington HotelFort Worth, Texas

Details

Ashlea and Mark are FINALLY married!  I have been waiting a long time for this day and it was so worth the wait!  I met Ashlea 8 years ago when her childhood BFF got married and when Ashlea called about her own wedding I was so excited!  In 2017 I headed to Chicago to meet Mark and photograph their engagement session and instantly fell in love with these two and how they care for each other.  They are quirky and kind and have compassion for one another and the world.  They brought that and their loves of dance, sports and more into their wedding day.  These two prepped for the wedding at The Worthington Hotel in Fort Worth and also did their first look together before we headed to Marty Leonard Chapel for the wedding.

Thanks to the following vendors for making this day a fairytale!

Hayley & David – Wedding Reception at The White SparrowDallas, Texas

Details

Hayley & David may have had a rainy wedding day but that didn’t stop the party or the gorgeous details and fun to be had!  The White Sparrow barn looked stunning with floral draping the staircase and lush greenery.  These two knew from the beginning that they wanted to emphasize the party – with every person on the dance floor, breaking it down, until last call.  They most certainly accomplished that!  The dance floor was so crowded the wedding planning team had to pull back the head table to make more room for all the fun!  Hayley brought an extra side of excitement to her Father daughter dance – they brought all the moves!  Check out the fun images below!

We believe in making the best in what we are given and this couple and their families embraced the day right along with us.  We did night portraits outside once the rain stopped, family photos on the floral cover stairs and went with the flow for a perfect wedding day.

Thanks Hayley and David for including us!  We had a blast thanks to the two of you and your community of loving people.  Super shout out of praise to all the vendors for their hard work!

Hayley & David – Wedding Ceremony at Prestonwood Baptist Church ChapelPlano, Texas

Ceremony

Planning for a wedding is fun and exciting but sometimes nature changes our plans.  Hayley and David were set to wed on a day that became rather rainy but because they had an expert planner at their side and awesome attitudes they moved their outside wedding indoors to the chapel at their home church – Prestonwood – and make a rainy day beautiful!  We met up with these two at The Statler in downtown Dallas to get ready for the wedding before their vows.

I asked these two what they were looking forward to most a few months ago about their wedding and their answer was perfect!  Why?  Because they knew this day was about more than plans – it was about them, their marriage and those they love.  This attitude is what made this day exceptional!  Here is what Hayley had to say:

“Celebrating more than just the bride and groom. Celebrating the support system we have around us. Really loving on those who have built the strong community around us and celebrating the great love David and I have found.” – Hayley

We truly saw the support system and strong community in Hayley & David’s lives – congrats guys on an amazing marriage!  Shout out to all the vendors for their flexibility and hard work to make this day gorgeous:

My time with Kaycee and Joseph has been truly special.  I love that they made their wedding days all about them!  The separated their wedding ceremony and reception onto different dates and the outcome was perfect!  You can see their wedding day at Bella Donna Chapel here but this post is all about the celebration of their marriage!  Kaycee & Joseph invited all their favorite people to The Modern Art Museum for a night of dancing, food and fun.  Kaycee wore her wedding gown for some romantic gallery images and their first dance as husband and wife before changing into a fun pink dress for her party!  They have truly blessed me and I can’t wait to see them in the future as I know their love for each other will only grow.  Love you guys!
