Kim & John – Wedding Ceremony & Reception at Classic Oaks RanchMansfield, Texas

April 7, 2016 Ceremony

Photo by Tracy Autem

Kim and John had a perfect spring wedding at Classic Oaks Ranch. These two met at work and as they became friends, then buddies that spent time at Texas Country concerts it grew into something more – romance. I love the simple beginnings of their relationship and I can see their love for each other is deeply rooted in that friendship. With their love for a laid back life and music the ranch in Mansfield was a great backdrop to their day. I loved how they included their sweet doggie in the wedding day and their nieces and nephews. It was definitely all about family and friends. Thanks guys for letting us share in your day and be by your side.

Caelan & Jake – Engagement Session at the Stockyards and Fort Worth Park

July 14, 2015 Engagement

This lovely lady is my niece and I am kind of excited that she is getting married next July! Although I will be at her wedding my fabulous associate Amanda McCollum with Lightly Photography will be photographing her day so that I can just be family! Now I might help a little with some of the photos but I honestly just can’t wait to celebrate with these two. It was actually the first time I have ever met Jake and I instantly fell in love with him and his fun personality. I can see why Caelan fell for him. These two met while attending college and living in the same building. During one of their first meeting Jake jokingly got down on one knee and asked Caelan to be his bride. Little did he know that years later he would be doing it for real in front of her parents and grandparents on a cruise ship.

Jake is a musician and is a member of a country band so we had to get some western vibes going for their photo shoot. After a show in Austin and before a music festival in North Texas we met up in Fort Worth at the Stockyards for their engagement session. After playing there we headed to one of my favorite nature spots with a beautiful pond and open fields.

Congrats and I can’t wait for your San Antonio wedding next year!

Lauren & Randy {Engaged} Fort Worth Stock Yards and Urban Walls

May 25, 2011 Engagement

Lauren & Randy are getting married this August and it is going to just be fabulous. They have a great venue lined up, Fort Worth Club, a really gorgeous dress from Bliss Bridal and are honestly just really great people. Their session was my first chance to meet Randy and I can totally see why Lauren fell so hard for him. Randy is a complete whoot and had me laughing throughout the session. He brings that playful side out in Lauren and he makes her smile and giggle and of course put her hand in his face (my favorite move from their shoot!) I think I like them SO much because the remind me of my husband and I, he is so silly like Randy and he helps me to let loose. Us girls need men in our lives to keep us young with lots of laughter and bring us joy. I know this couple has MANY years to come of silly faces, laughs and tender moments. Can’t wait for the wedding!
