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. 😉

Giant thank you to every vendor that made this day so beautiful for Annie & Josh – you all excelled beyond expectations!

Annie & Josh – Couples Portraits & Wedding PartyMOPAC & Trinity Trail

May 22, 2017 Details

My girl Annie loves nature, greenery and all things outside. You can see it in Annie & Josh’s choices for their entire wedding. MOPAC is a super cool building to have your ceremony and reception at with historic features, rustic brick and fun decor. Such a fun spot for bridesmaids and groomsmen photos! I loved the vibe in the ceremony space with draped fabric and asymmetric floral. We wanted to bring a nature spin to their day though so I scouted out the perfect spot on the Trinity Trails for us to escape to for a few romantic portraits during cocktail hour. With warm golden light and big trees we had so much fun for some sweet photos. We also were able to snag a portrait in their reception space! One of my fave things to do.

Thanks to the vendors that made Annie & Josh look SO good!

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:

Annie – Bridal PortraitsFort Worth, Texas

May 12, 2017 Bridal Portraits

I have been waiting to share these – Annie is on my team with Lightly Photography. She is one of my associate photography team and is a sweet friend whom I love like a little sis. We arranged for a special location for her bridal session – The Modern Art Museum. It is typically not available for sessions due to the restrictions of the artwork and insurers so if you are crushing on these photos I hate to tell you that your only ticket into this museum for photos is to have your wedding there. Annie loves the clean lines and modern architecture of the building with the soaring glass windows. We played with reflections and movement and used natural light to capture these bridal portraits. Annie purchased her gown at Classy Concepts in Mansfield and her Bouquet is by her Mother – Bridal Blooms & Justine’s Flowers. Hair and makeup by Fallon Farmer with Love & Pout.

Laura & David – Wedding Reception at Classic Oaks RanchMansfield, Texas

November 23, 2016 Details

Laura & David have a great love story. Their wedding day is a perfect picture of them and it was filled with such beautiful moments. During their wedding reception at Classic Oaks we had a blast! When they descended the grand staircase into their first dance you could feel their love and it pretty much never stopped. Hearing their parents and friends toast them you could see the intimacy of their relationships but what I heard over and over was what good people Laura & David are. They were described by every person close to them as kind, compassionate, giving, serving and pretty funny too. I think these two have a great future ahead of them if they love each other like their families described them they can’t fail. After some yummy eats and sweets it was time to hit the dance floor! David and Laura – thank you so much for allowing me to be with you. I am so happy that I was able to hear and see your love!

Weddings come together for my couples with fabulous teams of people, pulled together to make their vision come to life. Thanks to Laura & David’s Vendors!

Laura & David – Wedding Portraits at Classic Oaks RanchRomantics in Mansfield, Texas

November 22, 2016 Moments

Laura & David are not just super beautiful people on the inside they are also pretty amazing to look at and photograph! I mean look at these two! If the sun had not been setting and I had unending perfect sunset light I might have photographed them for a hour more. Take a peek at their romantic couples portraits on the Classic Oaks Ranch property. We scaled a cattle guard for some gorgeous photos and it was so worth it! I love every part of Classic Oaks from the outdoor chapel, the barn and pastures. Can’t wait to share this fun reception tomorrow!

Thank you to the wedding team that Laura & David selected and helped make this day so magical (and big shout out to David who helped with ALL the wedding planning!!!)

Laura & David – Wedding Ceremony at Classic Oaks Ranch

November 21, 2016 Ceremony

Lightly Photography 2016

I LOVE an emotional couple and Laura & David are like my dream clients – these two love each other and are not afraid to show it. David is such a cutie – I mean – look at his reaction (above) as he watched his beautiful Laura walk down the aisle to him! What more can you ask for in a man? Well, that was just the start. This loving man had sweet words and nice gestures all day for his beloved – it made me cry SO many times!!! During the ceremony the vows they had for each other were heartfelt and true and during the ceremony David was SO excited to be marrying his bride he couldn’t stop talking. He wasn’t afraid to speak up and say how beautiful she was, lucky he was and in love with her he was. Their ceremony had me crying, smiling and with goose bumps! Laura was so thoughtful in all she did – from fun custom boots for her groom to perfect gifts for all the parents. During the ceremony and every time she was near him, she was just glowing.

It was a pretty amazing day!

Sarah & David – Wedding Reception at City ClubFort Worth, Texas

August 26, 2016 Details

This party was gorgeous and fun! Justine’s flowers filled the ballroom with lush arrangements that were gorgeous and as the room filled and the party started the energy was high and it was time to dance. Signed, sealed, delivered put on quite a show and kept the dance floor packed and Sarah & David celebrating the night of their lives. I loved getting out there with them and dancing along – these families for sure knew how to party! From mingling with friends to singing on the stage this couple had a fabulous night that no one wanted to end. In fact, it really didn’t end – as they made their farewell to fluterfetti the crossed the street and their guests and friends followed as they took the party across the street for drink and more fun at a Sundance Square bar. Loved these two and seriously could do this one over and over again. Part of the reason this day was so phenomenal was all the great wedding professionals that I shared it with:

August 25, 2016 Ceremony

LOVED photographing these two at Robert Carr Chapel after their wedding. They really look so timeless and romantic and it was amazing how we squeezed so much yumminess into such a short amount of time after the ceremony. The light by the windows was to die for – look at all the pretty (including the gorgeous Sarah!) Outside we played with the collums, the building, sunset light and their wedding party! Off to the real party at the City Club of Fort Worth!
