Kristin & Michael – Wedding Preparations at Dove Ridge VineyardFort Worth, Texas

July 9, 2017 Details

Kristin & Michael are married!! This lovely day kicked off with preparations on site at Dove Ridge Vineyard. Kristin, surrounded by her friends, Mom and family dressed and primped for the big day. There were so many special moments from Mom standing by her side as she dressed to Kristin’s reveal with her Daddy. Dad came in the room and immediately laid hands on his daughter and prayed over the day, her marriage and it brought me to tears! Both Kristin and Michael were a little emotional reading each others notes pre-ceremony. Michael included in his not the receipt from their first date – the moment Kristin saw it she was all tears and smiles and some laughter too! These two and their families love deeply and are not afraid to show it and that is the best combination EVER!

Always love working with amazing vendors and this wedding was no different:

Bethany & Tyler – Wedding First Look and Wedding Party PortraitsTrinity Park, Fort Worth

June 28, 2017 Details

Look at how cute and excited these two were to finally see each other! Bethany knew she wanted a location that was green and lush for her first sight with Tyler. We selected Trinity Park for just that reason and it was gorgeous! Right before he turned I asked him what he thought her dress might look like and he may have been a little off on his expectations but he was not disappointed when he turned to see Bethany. After some photos of the two of them alone they were joined by their bridesmaids and groomsmen for wedding party photos.

Caitlin & Jordan – First Look & Portraits at The Mansion on Turtle CreekDallas, Texas

December 7, 2016 Details

I can’t even – I mean – ahhhh. This first look is beyond perfect. We met up at The Mansion on Turtle Creek where we had Caitlin & Jordan see each other on the balcony of the hotel. Gorgeous fall day and a couple that looks this good and just melts into each other. There could not have been a better way to end my 2016 Weddings! When Jordan turned both of them were jaw dropping excited to see each other. She sweetly showed off her dress and they embraced and snuggled up together. These photos are why I love first looks – all the emotion and pretty rolled into one amazing moment! After we used photographed their family, bridal party and romantic portraits at this classic Rosewood Hotel property. I love the architecture, the green scapes and even the sidewalk there – I don’t think you can select a more iconic Dallas hotel location for photography. Enjoy all the pretty and as always thanks to the vendors who made it all possible:

Sarah & David – Wedding Portraits at Robert Carr ChapelFort Worth, Texas

August 25, 2016 Ceremony

LOVED photographing these two at Robert Carr Chapel after their wedding. They really look so timeless and romantic and it was amazing how we squeezed so much yumminess into such a short amount of time after the ceremony. The light by the windows was to die for – look at all the pretty (including the gorgeous Sarah!) Outside we played with the collums, the building, sunset light and their wedding party! Off to the real party at the City Club of Fort Worth!

Courtney & Miles – Wedding Ceremony at First United Methodist ChurchFort Worth, Texas

June 22, 2016 Ceremony

What an amazing and serene moment – these two were just so calm and cool as they embraced after their wedding. Big smiles were also had but this quiet little moment between them just grabbed me. Cortney & Miles are two of the nicest people – I mean this girl holds open doors for her wedding vendors and thanks us for being at her wedding! Sweet and silly girl – I could not have been happier to be with you and couldn’t have imagined spending this day any other way!

We started their day at Fort Worth Club for preparations before heading to First United Methodist Church in downtown Fort Worth. The church as deep meaning to the couple as Miles’ Mother is actually one of the on staff pastors. She was smart though and played Mom of the Groom all day and left the marrying to her fellow pastors – she knew she would be a weeping mess if she had to marry them and I understand – that would be so hard! We took advantage of the lovely courtyard at the church for pre-ceremony portraits of the family and bridesmaids and groomsmen before it was time to get married!

All the pretty was made at this wedding by one fabulously pulled together team! Big shout out to each and every one of them:

Clare & Blaine – Wedding Portraits at The Four Seasons in Dallas / Las Collinas

July 12, 2015 Details

This crowd was FUN! Can you tell? I loved this couple and their wild and crazy friends. After a sweet ceremony at Clare’s home church in Colleyville we headed to the Four Seasons in Las Collinas for their wedding reception. Before kicking off the party though we had to take portraits. We took SOOO many that I loved at this wedding that I am giving them their very own blog post!

Check out Blaine and his men. They are a dapper group and were all ready to cut up for the camera. They looked well put together in their gray suiting and fun socks! Blaine definitely owned his look and had a good time with his friends.

Claire and her ladies look completely classic with a kick of energy in their coral and bright summer bouquets. Their pale grey silver gowns with sheer necklines looked light and soft along side the yards of toulle of the brides gown. She rocked a completely chic top knot bun that looked flawless all night long.

Oh – and the kids. Look at those minis! Even they were enjoying their wedding day roles.

If that isn’t enough awesomeness, there are some killer romantic portraits of the bride and groom too! Clare and Blaine have playful spirits so some picking up, walking and some silly faces were a must! The golf course at this Dallas venue is the perfect wedding photography location as you can see from these stunning portraits.
