Melissa & Doug had a gorgeous wedding reception at Fort Worth Club. I loved all the little details they had from late night donut holes and sliders to gorgeous floral from Branching Out events. Thanks to everyone that made this couples wedding wishes come true!

Melissa and Doug had a beautiful wedding at First United Methodist Church in Fort Worth a few weeks ago. The couple selected this church because many of Doug’s family members have married here over the years so it was the perfect nod to tradition. The couple loves old world architecture and the classic archways were the perfect backdrop for their portraits and first look! For this spring wedding God totally blessed us and gave us some sunshine and clear skies right up until we were finishing with outdoor portraits! Then the rain came! Could not have had better timing.
Thanks to al the vendors who made this day so beautiful:

Leigh is a gorgeous bride! Her lace gown with a plunging back and neckline was amazing! I am loving these new illusion styles that expose yet cover and make dresses so sensual yet sophisticated. Leigh is a sweet girl and I loved hanging out with her and her Mom at the bridal session at The Dallas Arboretum. Her veil added some drama and when paired with the light wind we had some perfect moments. Her bouquet was loose and lush in whites and greens and the simplicity of the color palette complemented her overall look.

I love the party – after a day full of emotion and excitement it all comes down to a big celebration! This party was pretty phenomenal – with gorgeous floral from Branching Out Events and a killer band brought in from Atlanta, Jessie’s Girls, it was top of the charts! Leigh and Evan were inseparable all night – dancing close, laughing and visiting with their friends and family. Not sure there are even words for how much fun we all had! Just browse on and you will know that this is a night no one will forget!

This first look had me crying! When Evan walked out the door to see his bride, Leigh, he was all smiles and they immediately embraced. First looks are the best! They shared sweet moments together and Leigh showed off her stunning illusion back dress before they exchanged gifts. Evan gave her a beautiful jewelry box so that over the years to come she can keep all the future gifts he might give her safe. Leigh had been writing notes to him in a journal for 2 years! That book along with some stunning cuff links were her gift to him. We also took advantage of the gorgeous architecture around the church and photographed these two alone.
Thank you to all the vendors that made their first look so beautiful:

This day was so beautiful and full of tons of emotional moments. As we arrived at the club the ladies were playing games and the guys were enjoying the newly renovated bar area at the Fort Worth Club on the 11th floor. As Leigh was helped into her gown by her Mom and sister and bridesmaids and house party eagerly awaited the reveal of her gown…when she came out everyone squealed and clapped! Leigh was surely stunning in her gown with an illusion back, lace detailing and plunging illusion neckline. This dress was made for her!!! The drama didn’t stop with that reveal – it was the first of THREE! Next up Dad was just smiling and happy to see his gorgeous daughter. (to see her First Look with Evan, the groom, check out the blog post dedicated to it.) Leigh and Evan had prepared the most thoughtful gift for her parents – a weekend getaway after all the stress and planning of a wedding! Mom was shocked and I was totally crying!
At ceremony time as the doors opened and everyone stood for Leigh to enter the church, Evan was flooded with emotion. First look’s are special but they don’t take away from that special moment. When he saw his bride arm in arm with her Dad he cried! It was precious! Watching these two from the balcony I had the best view in the house as they whispered to each other and smiled during their vows. Then – they were married! Congrats Leigh and Evan and I can’t wait to share your killer party pics!
