Annie & Josh – Wedding Reception at MOPACFort Worth, Texas

May 23, 2017 Details

Annie & Josh’s wedding reception at MOPAC was filled with lush greenery and moody tones. Long sage runners and colored taper candles brought vibrancy and layers to the table decor. MOPAC is a beautiful space that is accentuated perfectly with uplighting and pin spotting to make the decor really stand out in the space. Not only was the reception beautiful – it was FUN! Annie and Josh love to be silly together and you can see it in every photo as they danced and laughed together. It makes my heart happy to see a marriage begin with such a light hearted spirit – you need laughter in a marriage!

Thanks Annie & Josh for letting me be a part of your story, I can not wait to see all that the future holds! You are both part of my Lightly Photography family and I adore you. 😉

Giant thank you to every vendor that made this day so beautiful for Annie & Josh – you all excelled beyond expectations!

Annie & Josh – Couples Portraits & Wedding PartyMOPAC & Trinity Trail

May 22, 2017 Details

My girl Annie loves nature, greenery and all things outside. You can see it in Annie & Josh’s choices for their entire wedding. MOPAC is a super cool building to have your ceremony and reception at with historic features, rustic brick and fun decor. Such a fun spot for bridesmaids and groomsmen photos! I loved the vibe in the ceremony space with draped fabric and asymmetric floral. We wanted to bring a nature spin to their day though so I scouted out the perfect spot on the Trinity Trails for us to escape to for a few romantic portraits during cocktail hour. With warm golden light and big trees we had so much fun for some sweet photos. We also were able to snag a portrait in their reception space! One of my fave things to do.

Thanks to the vendors that made Annie & Josh look SO good!

Annie & Josh – Wedding Ceremony at MOPACFort Worth, Texas

May 21, 2017 Ceremony

Annie & Josh are married! On a super windy day these two said I Do at MOPAC in Fort Worth. Annie is on my Lightly Photography team so this wedding was like photographing family. I love this girl! Josh is so the perfect husband for her as I know they have pushed one another to grow and that they live well together with lots of laughter.

We kicked off their day at MOPAC where the ladies were beautified by the Love & Pout team. Before the ceremony Annie & Josh shared a prayer around a door and a few moments of silliness. I love when my couples choose to come together in prayer before their weddings – you don’t have to see each other to have a special moment! During the ceremony the wind was fierce – but God was present as these two vowed to love each other and to follow Christ and lead each other. I may have cried a few times. 🙂

Thank you to everyone who made this day special – you know I appreciate you for making my friend’s day so perfect:

Becca and Drew – Wedding at University Christian & Colonial Country Club

January 27, 2015 Ceremony

Becca and Drew are our first couple of 2015 and what a great start for the year! These two love birds chose a winter wedding and they carried that theme beautifully through out the day. From midnight blue bridesmaids dresses to snowflakes on their cakes it was a cool and elegant day. It was definitely cool outside too as the January weather did not disappoint with some chilly temps and some rain on and off through out the day. We were lucky to snag just a little time outside with the couple for their first look before the ceremony and the rain began. Becca and Drew were so sweet during their first sight and you could just see the stress melt away as they were able to spend some time alone together. From wedding at University Christian Church over to The Colonial for the reception it was time to dance and mingle with friends and family! As the night came to an end they shared a private last dance which may have been my very favorite part of their day. Alone in their reception room I could just see how much Becca and Drew love one another, what a great start to their marriage! Congrats guys!

Fabulous weddings are created by amazing teams and Becca & Drew had one killer team!

Amanda & John – Wedding Reception at City Club of Fort Worth

December 4, 2014 Moments

Tracy Autem 2014

After a perfect ceremony these two headed over to party with their friends and family at The City Club of Fort Worth. From the time they entered the room until the last dance the room was full of energy, the dance floor was full and we hall had SO much fun! I love a groom that spends more time on the dance floor or at his brides side than anywhere else so John is a fave of mine! Amanda and her friends barely ever stepped off the dance floor, I know they had to be tired at the end of this night! My favorite part of the day as always was their private last dance. There is something so magical about the couple alone in their reception space, sharing a moment without all their guests before they say farewell. Always a tear jerker, always makes me smile and always makes for beautiful images!

Congrats Amanda & John! I have loved getting to know you and being apart of your journey!

Amanda & John – Wedding Ceremony at TCU Robert Carr Chapel

December 3, 2014 Ceremony

This gorgeous girl and this fabulous guy are married! I love my job and this couple is a perfect example of why. They are totally in love, meant for each other in every way but they are genuinely some of the most caring and loving people I have ever met. You can see it in their family, their friends and how they treat those around them. At their wedding I felt like I belonged, one of the family, and that is always so special when a couple makes their day about everyone there with them. I pray their marriage is just a spectacular as the awesome start it had on Nov 22! They are set for some good luck as it rained and poured during their ceremony but they didn’t let that get them down. We met up at the Hilton for some hanging out and girly silliness before heading over to Texas Christian University’s Robert Carr Chapel for the ceremony. At the chapel we had a packed house to watch these two say their I do’s. Congrats Amanda & John! Check back later for their fun filled reception at City Club of Fort Worth.

Amanda – Bridal Portraits at The Mansion at Turtle Creek

December 2, 2014 Bridal Portraits

Amanda & John were married before Thanksgiving so today I can finally break these out and share them with the world! I LOVE this dramatic first image, it is actually the photo Amanda chose for display at her wedding. I love its simplicity yet great use of light. The Mansion at Turtle Creek has become a client favorite for bridal portraits this year and I am never disappointed when they select it. The balance between the outdoor images and the drama and classic feelings inside were perfectly paired with this bride’s classic style. Amanda has said since she was a little girl gloves would be a must at her wedding and she didn’t change her mind. I think they are perfect with her gown and her personality. Congrats Amanda and very soon your wedding photos will be making an appearance!

Amy & John Paul – Wedding at Marty Leonard Chapel & Bass Hall Van Cliburn

October 14, 2014 Ceremony

Amy & John Paul are a super fabulous couple that I LOVED spending their wedding day with. They treated me like one of the family and all of their guests and friends were filled with happiness to see these two tie the knot! The best part of their wedding may have been Issac, Amy’s son, who totally stole the show. From walking his mom down the aisle to a special moment in the ceremony where he received a special dragon charm (his favorite creature.) It is great to see not only a man and woman totally in love, made for each other but how they both considered their marriage and that it wasn’t just about them, it was about family. The family vibe started early as the couple prepared in their home with Issac and surrounded by friends. It was so casual and easy going – even though they were together Amy kept her final reveal a secret until the church where John saw her for the first time in the Marty Leonard Chapel. Then after some time alone Issac was invited in to see his Mommy in her gown. All day long the theme was purple, from flowers to table cloths and even chargers. It was so perfectly done with complementing shades adding depth and interest to the monochromatic theme. This fabulous day was pulled together by the work of an amazing line up of vendors:

Rachel & Andrew – Wedding Reception at Fort Worth Club

November 30, 2012 Moments

After Rachel & Andrew’s very touching ceremony it was time to cut loose and have fun! After some bridal party shenanigans with some super hero T’s and some steamy and romantic portraits of the bride and groom we headed to the party. Trey and the Tritones kept everything going all night long and even Rachel made a guest appearance on stage as she opened the dance floor with the song L-O-V-E. It was so sweet and completely surprised Andrew. Huge thanks to Jenna Lee with Splurge Events who helped pull everything together for this wonderful couple. I loved all the purple details, classic floral and the sweet candy apples for favors.

Rachel & Andrew – Wedding at Fort Worth Club

November 29, 2012 Moments

Rachel and Andrew were married a few weeks ago at Fort Worth Club in downtown. I adored them and their wedding day as it was full of amazing moments, details and these two are HILARIOUS and may be the cutest when it come to expressions I have ever seen. They choose to have a private moment alone together before the ceremony without breaking tradition by using a blindfold (as seen above.) It was magical and I know it calmed their nerves before walking down the aisle. Today we are spotlighting their preparations and ceremony as well as their bridal party photos we took prior to the ceremony. Tomorrow stay tuned for their reception, details and romantic portraits!
