Katie & Charlie – New Years Eve Wedding Reception at Fort Worth Club

January 21, 2016 Details

Happy New Year!!! I mean come on, is this not the most epic way to ever celebrate the new year? Surrounded by by their loved ones these two said more than I do. They said goodbye to 2015 and hello to a new year and a new life and Mr. & Mrs. They also threw the best New Years Eve party ever!

The ballroom at Fort Worth Club looked amazing! Tami Winn and her team pulled off a beautiful installation of floral, lighting, custom pieces and a floral halo that was suspended over the dance floor. It was the first time for the club to have a piece suspended from the chandelier and it just perfected the ambience and made everyone know that this night – was about the party on the dance floor! To go with their theme – the countdown to Conway – the couple had confetti tubes with “cue the confetti” tags and party horn place cards.

As the clock crept toward midnight the Project Band led the countdown and the room erupted in confetti, cheers, noise makers and lots of first kisses of 2016. It was perfect!

Glad I could ring in the new year with this couple, their families and an great team of wedding vendors:

Meghan – Bridal Portraits at Stoneleigh Hotel & Dallas Arboretum

July 25, 2012 Bridal Portraits

Meghan is an absolute stunner and her bridals kind of take my breath away. We explored the Dallas Arboretum then enjoyed the Stoneleigh Hotel Penthouse floor. The hotel may be my new favorite location with it luxe furniture, chandeliers, great big windows and overall perfect design. Thanks to Tami Winn Events for the beautiful bouquet and her Mom, best friend and Aunts who joined us and made me laugh and helped during the session.

Vickie & Rocky {Married 43 Years} A sweet styled anniversary shoot

June 28, 2011 Weddings

I have a very good job and I get to be a part of so many couples start at life together. Working with Vickie and Rocky was such a rare treat because I got to see the other side, 43 years into marriage and still most definitely in love. Best part of the shoot hands down is when Vickie said to Rocky “you’re supposed to kiss me now!” Can’t tell you how often I hear that at engagement sessions. One day I hope to photograph my clients at their 15, 25 and more anniversary’s but I was honored these two trusted myself and Lindsey Price of So Glamorous photo styling to put this session together. When I arrived at their home I immediately fell in love and I was so glad we had chosen to shoot there. They live int he quaintest little cottage feeling house that is actually not true vintage but built from reclaimed wood and is filled with fabulous treasures. Lindsey actually found most of the items in their shoot within their own house. All though I love the images individually if you really want a glimpse at this story watch their slide show, it’s the best.

Welcome Avery Elizabeth {10 Week Portraits}

May 11, 2011 Weddings

I adore babies and more than just any baby I LOVE the babies of my past bride and groom’s. It is so neat to see their families grow and meet the new additions. Last week I had the great privilege of meeting sweet Avery Elizabeth, the daughter of my clients Jennifer and Max. They were married last February and a year later welcomed this bouncing baby girl into their lives. She is just beautiful with the most silky smooth skin I have ever seen and eyes to kill for. Jennifer and I had a great time catching up and talking mommy talk at the studio and out on location. I can’t wait to see how she grows and to get Max in front of my camera again. To see more photos from Avery’s session and her slide show check out the Lightly Photo Blog where you can always find my non-wedding portraits and work from my team.

October 6, 2010 Engagement

Lindsey and Jason wanted something a bit different from what most of my clients request when it came time for their engagement session. Lindsey wanted to incorporate a theme, props and tell a story PLUS have some “regular” photos too. I love all my clients but it is nice to be thrown a challenge and come up with a new and exciting way to approach something I photograph frequently. For the first part of their session we played out a couple in love, separated by distance, being reunited at a train station. We threw in a vintage feeling with wardrobe and props from an old suitcase to gloves, love notes on postcards and a bit of special editing. Watch this story unfold with some of my favorite photos from the first hour of their shoot. Tomorrow part 2, a picnic!

Ruth & Andrew Engaged!

May 25, 2010 Engagement

Love the sweetness in this photo and Ruth kicking her foot up.

Ruth and Andrew are getting married in about a month at a new venue right down the street from my studio, 809 Vickery. We hung out last week as I got to know Andrew and Ruth better and took some fun photos of them about town. Ruth’s only request was to go to the big silver man statue in down town and we were in luck as the park just re-opened this month after undergoing a major remodel. We played there and hit some of my favorite spots around Fort Worth. These two have amazing personalities and are awesome people. Andrew is a pastor of a local church, Deliverance Bible Church of Fort Worth and I just adore these two and their passion for the Lord. Can’t wait for their wedding in July, here are some photos from their Fort Worth engagement shoot.
