Allison & Michael – Wedding Reception at The Ashton DepotFort Worth, Texas

June 23, 2018 Details

The Ashton Depot looked STUNNING for Allison & Michael’s wedding reception. Allison wanted her decor to be romantic and soft and garden like even though indoors and Tami Winn delivered with custom built table halo’s and so much more. The Ashton Depot is always a favorite place of mine to photograph because I feel like my weddings there always look different! The space allows for so much customization and the building itself is gorgeous!

During cocktail hours and dinner the Dallas String Quartet entertained guests and the bubbly bar made sure no one was lacking a beverage. After enjoying dinner the couple kicked off their night with toasts, cake and dancing! Glenn Roush with LeForce Entertainment kept the dance floor fun and full as everyone celebrated Allison & Michael’s wedding. These two were never far apart and spent the evening visiting with friends between dances. Before the night ended we snuck out for a few night time portraits with the downtown lights as a backdrop. It’s so fun to get some night portraits! Allison & Michael had a fun vintage car for their exit and we snagged some photos with it as well!

Congrats Allison & Michael! Thank you for inviting me into your love story. I sincerely wish we could do it all again – it was just that much fun! I can’t wait to see the strong marriage you will walk in, the family you will build and the adventures you will go on. Life is just beginning!

This couple had one amazing team of wedding vendors to make this day happen. Thanks to all of them!

From special dances to some pretty special dance moves this evening was exciting and perfect filled with foam glow sticks and lots of laughter.

Annie & Josh – Wedding Reception at MOPACFort Worth, Texas

May 23, 2017 Details

Annie & Josh’s wedding reception at MOPAC was filled with lush greenery and moody tones. Long sage runners and colored taper candles brought vibrancy and layers to the table decor. MOPAC is a beautiful space that is accentuated perfectly with uplighting and pin spotting to make the decor really stand out in the space. Not only was the reception beautiful – it was FUN! Annie and Josh love to be silly together and you can see it in every photo as they danced and laughed together. It makes my heart happy to see a marriage begin with such a light hearted spirit – you need laughter in a marriage!

Thanks Annie & Josh for letting me be a part of your story, I can not wait to see all that the future holds! You are both part of my Lightly Photography family and I adore you. 😉

Annie & Josh – Wedding Ceremony at MOPACFort Worth, Texas

May 21, 2017 Ceremony

Annie & Josh are married! On a super windy day these two said I Do at MOPAC in Fort Worth. Annie is on my Lightly Photography team so this wedding was like photographing family. I love this girl! Josh is so the perfect husband for her as I know they have pushed one another to grow and that they live well together with lots of laughter.

We kicked off their day at MOPAC where the ladies were beautified by the Love & Pout team. Before the ceremony Annie & Josh shared a prayer around a door and a few moments of silliness. I love when my couples choose to come together in prayer before their weddings – you don’t have to see each other to have a special moment! During the ceremony the wind was fierce – but God was present as these two vowed to love each other and to follow Christ and lead each other. I may have cried a few times. 🙂

Thank you to everyone who made this day special – you know I appreciate you for making my friend’s day so perfect:

Emilee & Jeff – Wedding Reception at the Modern Art MuseumFort Worth, Texas

November 19, 2016 Details

These two – swoon! This painting so perfectly explains them – they may have opted for a classic and elegant black and white color palette but Emilee & Jeff have such colorful personalities and when they are together they are so much in balance – just like this artwork!

During their wedding reception at The Modern Art museum in Fort Worth everyone had a ton of fun! The grand hall was beautiful with tall white topiary floral with a mixture of low centerpieces accented by silver and clean lined black chivari chairs. The statement in the room was the dance floor though – the custom black and white dance floor by DFW Dance Floors was cool and really brought the room together. As the couple walked the catwalk and entered the reception by the grand stair case they went straight into their first dance. Jeff held Emilie close and embraced her with his hands on her face as they shared that first dane as though they were the only ones in the room. After dinner and some toasts that brought everyone to laughter (and a few tears) it was time to party!

I am so excited for what the future holds for you two – Emilee and Jeff – Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. I loved every moment with you and was inspired by your love for each other and all those around you. Congrats!

Tiffany & Justin – Wedding Ceremony & Reception on the Bass Hall Stage

August 31, 2015 Ceremony

Tiffany and Justin met while he was standing on tables, playing his Bass and being highly energetic at a concert he was playing. Tiffany’s brother is a part of that band and Justin’s crazy outgoing personality caught Tiffany’s eye. Now these two are parents to a gorgeous little boy and married! Wanting to merge Tiffany’s love for bling, all things Fort Worth and TCU and Justin’s rockstar vibe the stage at Bass Hall was the perfect place for these two to say I do. With a ceremony on the stage and guests seated in the theater it was a dramatic event. After the vows the guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the Grand Lobby before being escorted back into the hall for a fine reception on the stage itself! During the reception fun was had by all as Justin and his buds took the stage for a short set with their band and Glenn Roush kept the party going the rest of the night. Super Frog was on site to dance it up with all the guests and take photos. We had such a great time celebrating along side this family!

Kassi & Matt – Wedding at Robert Carr Chapel & The Petroleum Club

August 7, 2015 Weddings

Kassi & Matthew have walked a long road to get to their wedding ceremony. From high school prom, through a college long distance relationship these two are finally settling down in the same place as husband and wife. This day was full of emotion and it was a pleasure to capture their snuggles, smiles and warmth as these families are finally joined. For Kassi & Matt every single detail was selected with meaning. They chose to incorporate blue into the wedding, Kassi’s favorite color, and as a remembrance to the blue flowers Matt presented her at their prom at Parish Episcopal School in Dallas. Before the ceremony these two met – without seeing one another – to exchange notes. It was adorable to watch them read the notes together – smiling at the same times and closing their notes precisely together. These two have grown as one so much over the 7 years of dating that even their letters to one another were written in the same cadence and tone. It melted my heart. I am so excited to see where their journey takes them next! Congrats Kassi & Matt!

Amy & John Paul – Wedding at Marty Leonard Chapel & Bass Hall Van Cliburn

October 14, 2014 Ceremony

Amy & John Paul are a super fabulous couple that I LOVED spending their wedding day with. They treated me like one of the family and all of their guests and friends were filled with happiness to see these two tie the knot! The best part of their wedding may have been Issac, Amy’s son, who totally stole the show. From walking his mom down the aisle to a special moment in the ceremony where he received a special dragon charm (his favorite creature.) It is great to see not only a man and woman totally in love, made for each other but how they both considered their marriage and that it wasn’t just about them, it was about family. The family vibe started early as the couple prepared in their home with Issac and surrounded by friends. It was so casual and easy going – even though they were together Amy kept her final reveal a secret until the church where John saw her for the first time in the Marty Leonard Chapel. Then after some time alone Issac was invited in to see his Mommy in her gown. All day long the theme was purple, from flowers to table cloths and even chargers. It was so perfectly done with complementing shades adding depth and interest to the monochromatic theme. This fabulous day was pulled together by the work of an amazing line up of vendors:

Kate & Josh – Wedding Ceremony at St Patricks Cathedral

June 13, 2014 Weddings

Kate & Josh had a beautiful wedding day and we were so lucky to be with them to capture it. From their ceremony at St Patrick’s Cathedral to their reception at Fort Worth Club. It was a perfect day! We met up with Kate and her maids at the club for some getting ready photos in the Camellia room. I loved the soft neutral bridesmaids gowns! During getting ready Josh spent most of his time trying to tie his bow tie – with little luck they traded out for a simpler style but it made for some funny getting ready moments. After the ceremony the couples family and friends waited outside the cathedral to greet them as they exited, it’s a Northern tradition that I think we should bring on down to the South, it was so pretty and special! Then we headed out around town for some romantic portraits. Catholic weddings often take place earlier int he day with a later reception so with a break in-between it gives us a chance to really play! Kate and Josh selected a few city vibe’s and a park for their couple alone portraits. We pulled the bridal party out for a few too! Read on for their ceremony, prep and the first half of their romantic images. Check back tomorrow for their reception and the remainder of their portraits.

Kayla & Neal – Wedding Reception at The Orchard

May 22, 2014 Moments

After these two tied the knot in their outdoor wedding at The Orchard it was time to party. This couple was quoted many times as saying it was ALL about the party. It most definitely was as we quickly shifted gears to celebrating. Todd Events brought the outdoors in for their reception with trees sprouting up from the tables, large statement candelabra’s and made it feel like home with comfort food and pies from G Texas Catering. Kayla’s own mother, Gina, created and provided her elegant brides cake. THEN the dance party started, it was kicked off with a unique bridal party intro as the bridesmaids and groomsmen competed in a dance off for some prized liquor bottles. So fun and the best into I have ever seen! Then we hit the floor with DJ Glenn Roush, all night! The small dance floor was packed all night, everyone had to have gone home with happy hearts and achy feet! I am so glad I got to party with these two, it will not be one I forget.
