Amy & Bryce – Wedding Reception at Union StationDallas, Texas

September 20, 2017 Details

Amy & Bryce’s wedding reception at Union Station was stunning with a color palette of light blush pinks, whites, creams, golds and pops of rich blues. It was elegant and regal and oh so perfect for this couple! The moment Amy walked into see her reception space during her private reveal her jaw dropped – her vision truly came to life thanks to Chloe with Stylish Soiree! Not only was this reception gorgeous but it was action packed and full of FUN! As DJ Glenn Roush welcomed the guests and challenged them that this might be the best wedding they have ever attended – he was right! From special dances to some pretty special dance moves this evening was exciting and perfect filled with foam glow sticks and lots of laughter. Thank you so much Amy & Bryce for including us in your special day. Congrats on your wedding and we pray that your life is full, happy and marriage strong!

Amy & Bryce – Wedding Portraits at Holy Trinity Catholic & Union StationDallas, Texas

September 20, 2017 Details

Amy & Bryce gave me SO much time for portraits of the two of them and I had a blast with them! We spent time photographing the couple and their bridesmaids and groomsmen outside of the church and these beautiful wooden arched doorways. It was gorgeous and their friends were a blast as you can see below. Amy’s bridesmaids were stunning in vibrant blue gowns and pale pink and white bouquets! Their bright was the perfect compliment to Amy’s soft and airy wedding gown. Bryce and his men looked dapper in their grey suits with gray ties from Al’s Formal Wear.

After a special reveal at Union Station – Amy was so happy to get a sneak peek at her reception before the guests arrived – we headed outside and strolled around the nearby downtown area for some photos of just the two of them. We played near the fountain, found some art, strolled the city streets and enjoyed a park bench break before it was time to party with their closest friends!

Amy & Bryce – Wedding Ceremony at Holy Trinity Catholic ChurchDallas, Texas

September 19, 2017 Ceremony

Amy & Bryce’s wedding day was full of sweet moments like the one above of her and her Daddy’s first look. I am always smitten with emotion – give me all the feels please!

As we met up at the hotel for preparation Amy and her girl squad looked amazing and her sweet little flower girl just couldn’t get enough camera time – love girls with sass! Amy dressed in her beautiful gown at Holy Trinity Catholic Church surrounded by her bridesmaids before the big reveal with her Daddy. Mom helped Dad get a little closer to his daughter before uncovering his eyes for the big reveal – it was such a sweet and emotion filled moment! During the ceremony Bryce and Amy laughed, smiled and kept stealing glances at one another. As they exited the church as husband & wife and celebrated with their families you could see how happy these two were to be married! Congrats Amy & Bryce!!

Sarah & David – Wedding Ceremony & First Look at Omni Hotel & Robert Carr ChapelFort Worth, Texas

August 24, 2016 Ceremony

So absolutely in love with his day and this couple! Sarah and David are sweet, genuine and so very kind to everyone around them. I felt as though I was part of the family as I celebrated along side them and captured the most important day of their lives. These two prepared for their wedding at The Omni Fort Worth before a first sight on the garden deck. But before David could see Sarah – 1st she had to see her #1 man since birth – Daddy. Her Father was all smiles seeing his little girl dressed in white and they both cried as she gave him a precious gift. It was incredibly sweet. She got out all the tears and was all smiles and laughter when she finally saw her groom. Her dress was stunning and I know David agreed!

Upon arrival at Robert Carr Chapel at TCU (Texas Christian University) we did some final preparations and these two said I Do! Their wedding rings were gorgeous in gold – so fun to see gold making a comeback in engagement rings and bands!

This day was pretty flawless and I have to say it was in part to an amazing team I got to work along side (Thanks Sarah & David for picking the best!)

Ashley & Derek – Wedding Reception at the Dallas Ritz Carlton

June 11, 2015 Moments

Rain is good luck they say and I believe it is true for Ashley & Derek. For their first look we had sunshine but it rained the rest of the day and when it does….make the most of it! In love with these rainy day photos we took right before this couple kicked off the party at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Dallas. After getting a little wet Ashley slipped into her second dress, a slinky beaded gown to party the night away! Emerald City kept the floor packed all night long and we had fun until our feet ached with this couple and their families. A good band gets the audience pumped and everyone had a great time singing along and even making some appearances on stage! Derek pulled out his horn abilities and played a little while Ashley (along with her Mom, brother and Derek’s brother!) all spent some time on the drums. It was really a unique night! The ballroom at the Ritz was transformed and made lively thanks to all of Ashley’s vendors! Here is a run down of all her fabulous professionals:

Ashley & Derek – Dallas Wedding at Royal Lane Baptist Church & Ritz Carlton

June 10, 2015 Ceremony

Thrilled to share this fabulous Dallas wedding today! To say this one was fun would be an understatement – I think every person went home at the end of the night with hurting feet and a very happy heart!

This day was one of those rainy May Saturday’s. Ashley really wanted to be able to have some outdoor photos and we kept watching that forecast so that her and Derek could do their first sight outside at the Ritz Carlton. Right as we were about to get going it went from sunny to rain falling. We held our ground, ducked for cover and watched the radar on our phones as it showed this tiny little blip of showers over downtown Dallas. A few minutes later it passed by and we were blessed with about 20 minutes of glorious sunny skies. Pretty perfect for their first look and a few romantic portraits.

The rest of the day it did indeed rain but that did not put a damper on a touching religious ceremony led by a paster that had know Ashley since she was a toddler. They choose to take communion privately together before the ceremony and it was so beautiful.

Ashley and Derek’s day was perfected by a sweet team:

Sarah & Samuel Wedding at Robert Carr Chapel & Colonial Country Club

August 5, 2013 Ceremony

Sarah and Samuel are living their honeymoon life right now! These two were married last weekend and right about now they should be packing up the last of their belongings to MOVE to the Bahamas! Most couples go for a week to celebrate their nuptials but these two are starting their married lives with an adventure of living in a place most people dream to visit. It won’t be all play as they will be attending school while there but it is definitely a once in a life time way to start their days together as husband and wife. These two met at TCU and have been inseparable for over 7 years and now they are FINALLY husband and wife. It was truly a magical day and we are so happy we could be a part of it. We started, and ended, the day at The Colonial Country Club. Surrounded by laughter and friends Sarah slipped into her gown before sharing a first sight with Samuel out on the golf course. A hop, skip and jump down the road to Robert Carr Chapel at Texas Christian University Campus for their ceremony before heading back to party. Their night was filled with fun and entertainment and a surprise fireworks display for their guests as well as Super Frog! It is a wedding no one will soon be forgetting! We wish you two the best and I pray that your years to come outshine the awesome wedding day you had!

Their day was magnificent thanks to the following vendor team:
