Kate & Josh will be getting married next year in May and I can’t wait! These two are just awesome and from the moment I met them, before they even had a wedding date set, I knew I was going to LOVE having them in front of my camera. We met up last friday in Dallas for some engagement portraits at The Dallas Arboretum and downtown around Deep Ellum. We kicked off our session in Crepe Mertle Alley, one of my favorite spots in the gardens then explored and took in the beautiful fall weather. The gardens were Kate’s pick so then we headed out for a more urban feeling for Josh. We founds some great rustic brick walls with Honeysuckle and a few other locales I like to frequent to give their session some city vibe. I loved their shoot and I think it is a perfect compliment for their very Fort Worth wedding!

We first met Judy and Shawn at a local wedding show and from that meeting I just loved their personalities and their wedding theme – peacock with a little bit of Irish charm. Why Irish charm? Because they are getting married on the luckiest day of the year, St. Patty’s Day! We met up on a very blustery day for some fun by the Avanti Fountain in Dallas and then hit some of my favorite walls in Deep Ellum. Judy and Shawn came armed with a variety of fun props with my favorite being a massive peacock tail…ok, we didn’t parade around down town with peacock feathers on our behinds but we used a few feathers from Judy’s friend’s peacock costume. You had to see it to understand and OH how I wish I had the foresight to get a picture of me lugging it around. We had a good time laughing and Judy had some great ideas for pictures and I was happy to oblige. Best part of the session was Shawn REALLY wanting photos by orange doors, I love when groom’s have opinions and express them. See you guys in a few short months!
