Casey & Andrew – Wedding Reception at Shady Oaks Country Club

October 8, 2015 Details

Oh my goodness – this series! Just take a look at this precious moment at the end of the night between Casey & Andrew before I resume regular blogging love.

Yeah – best ever right? I just LOVED this precious interaction as their guests were headed out to say farewell. Tucked away in a corner, these two stole a few moments to just BE. Their embraces, smiles and tears just embody everything about why I have the best job in the world. Being apart of private moments, capturing the raw, authentic emotion between a couple is my why. So glad Casey and Andrew let me into their lives so I could help them remember the start of their lives together as husband and wife!

I addition to this touching moment there was allot of fun, dancing and silliness at their Shady Oaks Country Club wedding reception. Casey’s dad may win the award for funnest Dad of 2015 with his dancing and singing on stage. The band, Ice House, kept the floor packed and made everyone have a great time. The ballrooms looked beautiful with flowers with draped orchids. Throughout the night these two were hardly apart and were OFTEN kissing, holding one another and just enjoying their day. Thanks so much Casey & Andrew for allowing us to be part of your wedding. It was a fun and special day I will not forget.

Casey & Andrew – Wedding Ceremony at Robert Carr Chapel TCU

October 7, 2015 Ceremony

Casey & Andrew were just a perfect start to Fall wedding season. This couple just made me cry, laugh and have all the feels behind the camera!

Casey and her girls did all their primping at the Fort Worth Omni hotel before heading to the chapel for finishing touches. Casey’s ladies looked pretty awesome in their coral gowns and the bouquets with draping orchids were modern and clean and so beautiful! Best part of their day hands down was Andrew – crying as his gorgeous bride walked down the aisle to him. I was so glad that I was able to turn and get his face as the doors opened. I agree Andrew – she looked so good I almost cried too! I wish every groom was overcome with emotion like that! After the ceremony we grabbed a few quick photos outside as the sun was setting before we headed off to the reception at Shady Oaks Country Club.

Thank you to all the wedding freindors who made this day possible:

Casey – Bridal Portraits at the Fort Worth Omni Hotel

September 30, 2015 Bridal Portraits

Casey is my favorite right now, I know, all my brides are my favorite for different reasons but Casey killed it and I just can’t help but let her win that title for today. These photos have been burning a hole in my mind as I waited for her wedding day. It is time and I can breathe as I get to share her stunning photos. Casey is a classic beauty – I don’t know if she knows just how gorgeous she is. Her new hubby knows, Andrew was all tears the moment she stepped into the chapel. 🙂 Her wedding day attire definitely kicked it up a notch with a fabulously textured gown, simple veil with a gorgeous edge treatment and her bouquet…….the bouquet! I die. Her bouquet is an amazing take on the cascade look that has come back recently but in a very modern and clean way with ALL white orchids. Swooning times a million over the bouquet. I will stop, and just let you look. Can’t wait to share this wedding!

Christal & Scott – Rehearsal Dinner at Shady Oaks Country Club

March 31, 2014 Rehearsal

Photographing rehearsals and rehearsal sinners are always a fun change of pace. The night before Christal & Scott’s wedding I joined them at 1st Presbyterian in Fort Worth for wedding rehearsal. It was great to get to know all of their family and friends before hand. After a little ceremony practice we headed out to Shady Oaks Country Club where Scott’s parents hosted a fabulous rehearsal dinner. Jackson Durham did a beautiful job on the floral for their dinner (And their wedding day!) Huge thanks to Abbie O Events for her planning and coordination of both the wedding day and their rehearsal dinner.

We love photographing all of our clients wedding events, if you are one of our couples or their families and are interested in having us out to capture other wedding related dinners and parties just give us a shout.

After a yummy dinner everyone was entertained by the sweet and sometimes hilarious toasts of their parents, siblings and friends. We love photographing these intimate events for our brides and groom’s!

Christal & Scott – Wedding Ceremony at First Presbyterian Church of Fort Worth

March 24, 2014 Ceremony

Christal & Scott are a wedding 9 years in the making! This ultra sweet couple started dating in middle school and has really never had eyes for another. I loved being a part of their wedding and watching as two families who have car pooled these “kids” on dates come together as one. It was truly special as due to their long relationship they also have long time mutual friends. These two are a beautiful definition of love.

We kicked off their day at Fort Worth Club and The Omni for some preparations before heading over to the First Presbyterian Church of Fort Worth for their ceremony. It was a bit of a cold spring day but we were inside nice and toasty! Christal did a super sweet reveal with all of her bridesmaids, after dressing they all came in at once to see her in the stunning gown. During their light hearted ceremony jokes were maid about wedding crashers and everyone was smiling watching these two say their I do’s. Stay tuned tomorrow for their rocking Fort Worth Club Reception with The Project Band.

Huge thank you to all the vendors who helped make Christal and Scott’s wedding such a success!
