Leigh & Evan – Wedding First Look at FUMC CourtyardFort Worth, Texas

April 18, 2017 First Look

This first look had me crying! When Evan walked out the door to see his bride, Leigh, he was all smiles and they immediately embraced. First looks are the best! They shared sweet moments together and Leigh showed off her stunning illusion back dress before they exchanged gifts. Evan gave her a beautiful jewelry box so that over the years to come she can keep all the future gifts he might give her safe. Leigh had been writing notes to him in a journal for 2 years! That book along with some stunning cuff links were her gift to him. We also took advantage of the gorgeous architecture around the church and photographed these two alone.

Thank you to all the vendors that made their first look so beautiful:

Courtney & Miles are so dreamy. I mean, look at them! I wish I had hours to photograph these two alone but sometimes we make due with the 10-15 minutes we have. I loved every moment I did have with them and am so happy that they found each other. They have a deep love and it was truly a pleasure to capture that for them. Congrats you two! You are going to have a fabulous life together!

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:
