Casey & Andrew – Wedding Reception at Shady Oaks Country Club

October 8, 2015 Details

Oh my goodness – this series! Just take a look at this precious moment at the end of the night between Casey & Andrew before I resume regular blogging love.

Yeah – best ever right? I just LOVED this precious interaction as their guests were headed out to say farewell. Tucked away in a corner, these two stole a few moments to just BE. Their embraces, smiles and tears just embody everything about why I have the best job in the world. Being apart of private moments, capturing the raw, authentic emotion between a couple is my why. So glad Casey and Andrew let me into their lives so I could help them remember the start of their lives together as husband and wife!

I addition to this touching moment there was allot of fun, dancing and silliness at their Shady Oaks Country Club wedding reception. Casey’s dad may win the award for funnest Dad of 2015 with his dancing and singing on stage. The band, Ice House, kept the floor packed and made everyone have a great time. The ballrooms looked beautiful with flowers with draped orchids. Throughout the night these two were hardly apart and were OFTEN kissing, holding one another and just enjoying their day. Thanks so much Casey & Andrew for allowing us to be part of your wedding. It was a fun and special day I will not forget.

Casey & Andrew – Wedding Ceremony at Robert Carr Chapel TCU

October 7, 2015 Ceremony

Casey & Andrew were just a perfect start to Fall wedding season. This couple just made me cry, laugh and have all the feels behind the camera!

Casey and her girls did all their primping at the Fort Worth Omni hotel before heading to the chapel for finishing touches. Casey’s ladies looked pretty awesome in their coral gowns and the bouquets with draping orchids were modern and clean and so beautiful! Best part of their day hands down was Andrew – crying as his gorgeous bride walked down the aisle to him. I was so glad that I was able to turn and get his face as the doors opened. I agree Andrew – she looked so good I almost cried too! I wish every groom was overcome with emotion like that! After the ceremony we grabbed a few quick photos outside as the sun was setting before we headed off to the reception at Shady Oaks Country Club.

Amanda & Cameron – Wedding Reception at Arlington Hall at Lee Park in Dallas, Texas Part 2

October 27, 2012 Moments

After their ceremony we had SO much time to play with portraits of Amanda and Cameron. You know that made me a happy photographer. When it was time to head in we all had laughs ahead of us as their friends brought it with funny stories and some crazy dancing (men did remove their shirts!) during the traditional toasts. Then we headed into craziness with dancing lead by Colby Logan of Astounding Sounds. Those Foreigners sure know how to party and the Texas crowd kept up with them. It was a magical day, enjoy a larger snapshot of their day with their slideshow:

I really like Amanda’s shoes and Cam’s colorful socks.

Wedding rings!

Love this photo by my second photographer, Sarah Rizy.

They are hot, yep, super hot.

Cam looks a little 007 to me here. So suave.

Ahhhh, pure sweetness.

All of their details were awesome from their outdoor seating area in front of Arlington Hall to their tall centerpieces with mercury glass vases.

That crazy dancing I mentioned above, here it is. I still have NO IDEA what this is or why it happened but it sure was funny.

Amanda and her Daddy (Loved that he got a little more comfortable but still looks elegant)

Cam dancing with his Mom.

And then the party began and everyone brought it….

The boys having a smoke outside of the venue. Men and cigars with smoke just work.

Before the end of the night I stole the couple away for a quick photo outside of Arlington Hall.

My MOST favorite image from this wedding. Why? It is simple and sweet and there is just a touch of a tear on her cheek. It says so much about how much they love one another and it is a perfect example of what I LOVE about my job.
