Laura & David – Wedding Reception at Classic Oaks RanchMansfield, Texas

November 23, 2016 Details

Laura & David have a great love story. Their wedding day is a perfect picture of them and it was filled with such beautiful moments. During their wedding reception at Classic Oaks we had a blast! When they descended the grand staircase into their first dance you could feel their love and it pretty much never stopped. Hearing their parents and friends toast them you could see the intimacy of their relationships but what I heard over and over was what good people Laura & David are. They were described by every person close to them as kind, compassionate, giving, serving and pretty funny too. I think these two have a great future ahead of them if they love each other like their families described them they can’t fail. After some yummy eats and sweets it was time to hit the dance floor! David and Laura – thank you so much for allowing me to be with you. I am so happy that I was able to hear and see your love!

Weddings come together for my couples with fabulous teams of people, pulled together to make their vision come to life. Thanks to Laura & David’s Vendors!

Laura & David – Wedding Portraits at Classic Oaks RanchRomantics in Mansfield, Texas

November 22, 2016 Moments

Laura & David are not just super beautiful people on the inside they are also pretty amazing to look at and photograph! I mean look at these two! If the sun had not been setting and I had unending perfect sunset light I might have photographed them for a hour more. Take a peek at their romantic couples portraits on the Classic Oaks Ranch property. We scaled a cattle guard for some gorgeous photos and it was so worth it! I love every part of Classic Oaks from the outdoor chapel, the barn and pastures. Can’t wait to share this fun reception tomorrow!

Thank you to the wedding team that Laura & David selected and helped make this day so magical (and big shout out to David who helped with ALL the wedding planning!!!)

Laura & David – Wedding Ceremony at Classic Oaks Ranch

November 21, 2016 Ceremony

Lightly Photography 2016

I LOVE an emotional couple and Laura & David are like my dream clients – these two love each other and are not afraid to show it. David is such a cutie – I mean – look at his reaction (above) as he watched his beautiful Laura walk down the aisle to him! What more can you ask for in a man? Well, that was just the start. This loving man had sweet words and nice gestures all day for his beloved – it made me cry SO many times!!! During the ceremony the vows they had for each other were heartfelt and true and during the ceremony David was SO excited to be marrying his bride he couldn’t stop talking. He wasn’t afraid to speak up and say how beautiful she was, lucky he was and in love with her he was. Their ceremony had me crying, smiling and with goose bumps! Laura was so thoughtful in all she did – from fun custom boots for her groom to perfect gifts for all the parents. During the ceremony and every time she was near him, she was just glowing.

It was a pretty amazing day!

Thank you to all the vendors who made this wedding so beautiful:

Laura & David – Engagement at Texas Christian University Campus & StockyardsFort Worth, Texas

May 13, 2016 Engagement

TCU is a part of this couples story even if they didn’t meet there. They both attended Texas Christian University but met after Laura graduated playing sand volleyball. We kicked off their engagement session at the stadium and around campus to give a nod to their pasts and that because of that connection and mutual fiends and interests these two were destined to meet. With Laura’s California roots and David’s feet firmly planted in Texas we headed over to the stockyards for some laid back photos that give a nod to their home, the place they have placed their roots together as a couple. Loved hanging out with you two and can’t wait of your wedding this Fall at Classic Oaks Ranch!

Kim & John – Wedding Ceremony & Reception at Classic Oaks RanchMansfield, Texas

April 7, 2016 Ceremony

Kim and John had a perfect spring wedding at Classic Oaks Ranch. These two met at work and as they became friends, then buddies that spent time at Texas Country concerts it grew into something more – romance. I love the simple beginnings of their relationship and I can see their love for each other is deeply rooted in that friendship. With their love for a laid back life and music the ranch in Mansfield was a great backdrop to their day. I loved how they included their sweet doggie in the wedding day and their nieces and nephews. It was definitely all about family and friends. Thanks guys for letting us share in your day and be by your side.

Classic Oaks Ranch – An amazing rustic wedding and reception venue

December 13, 2012 Business Spotlight

I love ranch weddings and I am so excited to see more and more beautiful ranch’s opening up their gates to brides and grooms. Classic Oaks Ranch is a new wedding and reception venue in Mansfield, Texas and I fell in love as soon as I drove through the gates. I was greeted by a few camels, rolling landscape with oak trees and some beautiful cattle. The ranch is 230 acres and is a working cattle and equestrian facility.

Their ceremony spot is a natural altar between two towering Oak Trees. Also on site is an 18,000 square foot climate controlled event barn with a stone fireplace, a bridal suite including a fully equipped salon, groom lounge, guest accommodations, and a 2,500 square foot party pavilion. It is breathtaking and the perfect place for a rustic vintage ranch wedding.

I was thrilled to be invited by the owners of the ranch and Gold Dust Vintage to participate in a photo shoot to show off their recently renovated facility. We were joined by Daniel Troupe of Lynn Films who captures our shenanigans on film and gives you a much better feel for the flow and vibe at Classic Oaks. All of our vintage rentals were provided by Gold Dust Vintage, they have an fantastic array of items for rent for any event. Twigs Floral provided all of our flowers. My favorite bridal salon, Bliss Bridal, provided our two gowns. Todd Bush, with Oliver’s Fine Foods, brought us some scrumptious items to complete our head table. May I serve you provided table linens and other rentals and Lucia Bitnar with Foster Blue helped style the day. Paper products provided by Inviting Ink.

Check out Daniel’s video, you can tell we had fun & that this new wedding location is perfection! To see it full screen go HERE.
