These two – swoon! This painting so perfectly explains them – they may have opted for a classic and elegant black and white color palette but Emilee & Jeff have such colorful personalities and when they are together they are so much in balance – just like this artwork!

During their wedding reception at The Modern Art museum in Fort Worth everyone had a ton of fun! The grand hall was beautiful with tall white topiary floral with a mixture of low centerpieces accented by silver and clean lined black chivari chairs. The statement in the room was the dance floor though – the custom black and white dance floor by DFW Dance Floors was cool and really brought the room together. As the couple walked the catwalk and entered the reception by the grand stair case they went straight into their first dance. Jeff held Emilie close and embraced her with his hands on her face as they shared that first dane as though they were the only ones in the room. After dinner and some toasts that brought everyone to laughter (and a few tears) it was time to party!

I am so excited for what the future holds for you two – Emilee and Jeff – Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. I loved every moment with you and was inspired by your love for each other and all those around you. Congrats!

If you are like me and can never get enough pretty photos then check out their highlight slide show for more fun moments and emotional images.

The Modern Art Museum of For tWorth is always a fave spot of mine – the venue has the most gorgeous architecture and being photographed in front of world class art is kind of amazing. With an exhibit taking up the downstairs of the museum Philip, the museum guru, took me to a few spots I don’t usually get to visit including this fun lit piece above that was made for a romantic silhouette shot!

The grand hall was stunning with the grey’s of the museum against the silver and plum purples of the reception design by Tami Winn Events. Lighting by It’s your night entertainment brought depth to the space. To really escalate the bar spaces Tami Winn brought in hedge walls and bar facades. So pretty!

Megan & Dylan entered the grand hall via the cat walk above their reception and welcomed guests before sitting down to dinner. After cake and some mingling we moved the party to the cafe where the oval custom dance floor became center stage. During the first dance Megan’s Daddy some how unplugged all the lighting systems but these two kept going and we kept photographing – it was definitely one of those funny moments that will forever be a wedding day story. Megan & Dylan partied, danced, tossed bouquets & garter’s and savored every moment of their wedding reception!

I could not make all the beautiful images without the help of a fabulous vendor team, thanks to these guys for making my job easy!
