Kristin & Michael – Engagement Photography at Chandor GardensWeatherford, Texas

May 26, 2017 Engagement

This cute couple met in Denver through mutual friends. Both Aggies they were far from home – chasing dreams, jobs and adventure when they were introduced to each other almost 2 years ago. Now in just a few weeks they will be getting married at a beautiful new venue, Dove Ridge Vineyard. Kristin & Michael are adorable together – lots of laughter and they just melt into each other. Kristin says she moved to Colorado to seek adventure – the outdoors and more – I think she found the best life has to offer in Michael. I know their lives will be full of exploration and I can’t wait for the wedding!

Megan – Bridal Portraits at Chandor GardensWeatherford, Texas

February 4, 2017 Bridal Portraits

Megan was a GORGEOUS bride and as her wedding just hit the newsstands in the newest Brides of North Texas Magazine I thought it was perfect timing to share her garden bridal session from last summer. Megan is a sweetie and oh so fun to be around – her dress definitely showed off her personality with it sweet and sparkly detailing and volume filled skirt with attitude! This mixture of classic and modern clean lines complimented her wedding to Dylan at Robert Carr Chapel on the TCU campus with a reception at The Modern Art Museum. The open back dress with sparkly straps was purchased at Nordstrom Wedding Suite.

Alex – Bridal Portraits at Chandor Gardens

June 30, 2014 Bridal Portraits

I have said it before but I will say it again – I love Chandor Gardens. It has become one of my favorite locales and you can see from this beautiful bridal portrait why. Alex wanted something whimsical and light and the english styling of this garden fit to a T. Alex looked beautiful with her hair by Renn Traylor and make up by Jennifer Trotter with Lip Service Makeup. Her gown was purchased at Bliss Bridal in Fort Worth with bouquet provided by Blossoms on the bricks. Alex is one of the sweetest girls I have ever met and she is truly a treasure to photograph. Can’t wait to share her wedding later this week! -Tracy Autem

Bailey – Bridal Portraits at Chandor Gardens

January 21, 2014 Bridal Portraits

I love the winter, in Texas weddings slow down and we find the time to rest before diving into another busy spring full of beautiful brides and emotion charged wedding days. It is also gives me a chance to share some of my bridal portraits from our Fall brides. Ms. Bailey was our last wedding for 2013 on Dec 28th at Ashton Gardens. This west Texas girl brought her and Brandon’s family up to the big D for all their wedding festivities, it was a destination wedding in many ways. For her bridal portraits we selected one of my favorite gardens, Chandor Gardens, in Weatherford. It feels like an old English garden with greenery, architectural detailing (like this walkway above) and is just so serene, I could spend all day there! Bailey’s dress was found at Bridal Boutique of Lewisville and her bright, bold purple bouquet was created by Lush Couture (one of my faves!)

Abby & Jeff – Engagement Portraits at Chandor Garden and Fall Trees

November 14, 2013 Weddings

Abby and Jeff are pretty dang amazing. I love them. I knew from the moment I met this adorable couple that being a part of their wedding was going to be spectacular. After some missteps and rescheduling due to weather and other issues we finally got together last week at Chandor Gardens in Weatherford and one of my favorite fields near by. The gardens there are beautiful and so overlooked by many people, they are intimate and usually empty. Bentley, their pup, joined us for a few photos and was wrangled by Abby’s Mom (Thanks Momma!) Then we headed out to one of my favorite spots just down the road from the gardens – this field of trees is fall perfection right now with all the changing colors in the leaves. It was pretty perfect and was rounded out with this gorgeous vintage sofa rented from Gold Dust Vintage. Thanks guys and I can’t wait to see you both in April for your wedding at Robert Carr & The Modern!

Jennifer & Perry – Engagement portraits in Weatherford and Chandor Gardens

May 15, 2013 Engagement

Jennifer and Perry are getting hitched this coming fall at St Patricks Cathedral in downtown Fort Worth. We completely hit it off when we met the first time so I was looking forward to hanging out with them at their Engagement. When Perry walked up he greeted me with a big hug, yep, I like this guy. I love groom’s that are excited about their wedding, their wife to be and photography! I also adore that this couple went outside the box, they selected Chandor Gardens for their session. A definite favorite of mine for bridal portraits but they are my first clients to ever choose it for engagements! It is an awesome location for any type of photography. We enjoyed the gardens before heading to a few other spots I like in Weatherford and then got their fur children involved (they have 3 precious doggies). It was perfect and we finished up right as some storm clouds were rolling in! Thanks guys for hanging out with me, see you soon!

Nikki {Model Bride} Chandor Gardens in Weatherford

December 23, 2011 Bridal Portraits

Nikki was married earlier this year at Graystone Castle out in West Texas in a tiny town called Thurber Mingus. For her wedding she wore a Bliss Bridal Gown with small floral appliques on the bodice. I adored her birdcage veil and feather fascinator. We photographed her bridal portraits at Chandor Gardens in Weatherford. It is the perfect location if you want the feeling of an old English garden.
