Lindsey & Christian – Wedding at FUMC Hurst & Bridals at Thistle Hill

July 13, 2014 Bridal Portraits

Lindsey and Christian are adorably sweet – just look above to see the proof. This sweet moment in the choir closet at their church just moments after their ceremony embodies EVERYTHING I love about weddings and my job. My couples, being real, genuine, in a moment “alone” some how loosing themselves in each other even though I am watching. Right after the wedding ends is probably my favorite part of the day – I love seeing how my couples react to the fact that they are FINALLY married. I think Lindsey & Christian have a beautiful Christ centered relationship and I can’t wait to see how they continue to grow together.

Their day was full of these love filled moments but they were equally balanced with lots of laughs and fun. From the moment I arrived at Lindsey’s house for prep photos her gals and her were cutting up, telling stories and smiling from ear to ear. From almost dropping an earring down her dress to a hilarious moment around the corner at the church between the couple, their great attitudes and easy going spirits were so refreshing. What is even more remarkable about this couple is God’s timing, attending the same church growing up, even the same youth group and activities neither of them ever really “saw” the other. Then at the right time, after college, they took notice and it was amazing to hear the pastor who once ministered to them as teens marry them in that same church.

Also included in this post are a few of Lindsey’s bridal portraits we took a few months ago at Thistle Hill in Fort Worth. This historic mansion is a fabulous place for a session with a vintage antique flair.

Check back tomorrow for more images from their Colonial Country Club wedding!

Katie & Nicholas – Wedding Reception at the Fort Worth Omni Hotel Ballrooms

January 12, 2013 Moments

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:

Elisabeth & William – Wedding at Holy Family Catholic Church with Preparations at Fort Worth Club

January 9, 2013 First Look

Elisabeth and Will’s wedding day was a dream come true. Every moment was beautiful and it was a complete privilege to be able to document their day. From the moment Elisabeth slipped her Pronovias dress on she took my breath away and continued to do so the rest of the evening. Their love is beautiful and watching them together made me truly happy – yep, I am lucky to do what I do! This favorite above is from moments after their first look at The Fort Worth Club before heading over to Holy Catholic Family Church. Multiple reflections and natural light make it scrumptious. Read on for more about their preparations, first look and ceremony.

Thanks to Julie Eastman with Extraordinary Events and Design for pulling Elisabeth’s fairy-tale together and all the vendors that made it perfection.

What girl doesn’t love a fabulous pair of flat shoes from Jimmy Choo, I can see her wearing these for years to come with some cute skinny jeans.

Elisabeth’s Mom is so sweet, she was so full of JOY all day!

Elisabeth’s engagement ring and signature scent for her day.

IN LOVE with this image, might be one of my most favorite getting ready shots ever. So simple and classic.

I can always count on her for a little silliness. It takes confidence to be such a ham and she has it in spades.

Elisabeth carried her Mother’s high school prom purse, so delicate.

Will hung out with his men, read the paper and enjoyed some laughs to counter his nerves before seeing his bride.

NOW that is how a man looks when he sees his loved all dressed in white!

AND that is how a bride looks at her soul mate. Swoon!

A little fix to make him perfect.

Loved Elisabeth’s bouquet by Deitra with Lush Couture Floral. To make it even more special she carried a rosary blessed by the pope, given to her by her Godmother.

Classic bunches of white floral adorning the church pews.

Will awaiting his bride at the altar.

Here comes the bride!

Their priest gave excellent marriage advice and I think they were taking it all in.

Smiles all around as Will said his vows to his beloved.

Slipping the ring upon her finger, she is now his.

This was a beautiful part of the ceremony, the god parents of Elisabeth presented an alms (I think that is what they called it.) Will promised to take care of Elisabeth and others in the way that Christ served, it was touching.

First photo as husband and wife and OH so cute!

It was a cold day so we only ran out for a minute before seeking warmth but it was worth it!

Look at those ladies! Gorgeous in the Bliss Bridal attire!

Jennifer & Chad – Wedding at Arborlawn Methodist Church with Reception at the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum

September 4, 2012 Moments

Jennifer and Chad were married on a very rainy day in August at Arborlawn Methodist Church with a reception to follow at The Modern Art Museum. Jenn is sweet as pie and just has one of those bubbly personalities that brings a smile to your face. Chad is the chill and laid back guy that makes you feel at ease. These two are the perfect balance for one another and I loved spending the day with them. It may have rained but it let up before their farewell allowing us to go downtown for some photos before calling it a day. Thanks to all the vendors who made their day so picture perfect:
