Rachael & Colin – Wedding Reception at Marie Gabrielle

May 28, 2015 Moments

After these two said I do it was time for some romantic portraits! Marie Gabrielle Restaurant in downtown Dallas really is a stunning place to get married and I was so thankful the rain stayed away so we had time to capture these two love birds in the gardens. Rachael’s lace gown and all white bouquet were simply elegant next to Colin’s traditional tuxedo. We used up every last little bit of light before heading on inside to the party!

Gro Designs knocked it out of the park with the fabulous floral chandelier hanging above the dance floor. It made the space feel extra special for Rachael & Colin. Their reception was full of good food, laughter and fun as these two celebrated with their closest friends and family. From getting down and dancing to the sparkler send off everyone had a fantastic time.
Congrats to the newlyweds and I can’t wait to hear about your Greece honeymoon!

Rachael & Colin – Wedding Ceremony at Marie Gabrielle

May 27, 2015 Ceremony

Rachael & Colin’s day was completely blessed. I think every person involved was getting on their knees leading up to this wedding asking God to hold off the rains so that this couple could share their vows in the outdoor garden at Marie Gabrielle in downtown Dallas. The Lord heard those prayers and not only held off the rain for their ceremony but a drop didn’t hit the ground until after their entire celebration came to an end. On top of the praise worthy weather their day was just full of sweet moments and we so enjoyed sharing in it with them.

Meeting up with the ladies for getting ready I kind of fell in love with the thoughtful gift the bridesmaids bestowed upon their friend. Each girl purchased a cookbook for her new home and wrote a note to Rachael in it. I love that for years to come she can pull out those cook books, fill her home with delicious food and remember her wedding day. Way to go ladies!

At the gardens before the ceremony Rachael & Colin shared a moment together with out breaking tradition of seeing one another. Around a pillar they shared wedding gifts and some words to ease their nerves and share their excitement. During the ceremony we laughed that Colin married 2 women as her uncle and minister tripped over his words and called her by her first name once and middle name another time. Every day needs something to tell stories about!

Check back tomorrow for their wedding reception blog and slide show. In the meant time thanks to a stellar vendor team that pulled all the details together and made sure this day was smooth.

Amanda & Cameron – Wedding at Arlington Hall at Lee Park in Dallas, Texas Part 1

October 26, 2012 Moments

I can not even begin to say how AWESOME this wedding was. No words can describe the fun we had, yep, it was that rockin! We started off the day with preparations at The Omni Hotel Dallas before heading to Arlington Hall at Lee Park for their wedding and reception. When I arrived the girls were dancing and having fun and really setting the pace for what was to be a super charged day. I loved their ceremony. Cam is a big tough guy who has a soft spot as big as Texas in his heart for his lovely bride. He just changes in her presence, and his smile fills his face. It made me cry behind my camera and you know those are my favorite weddings. This photo above just sets the stage for what I know will be a great life together. Read on for more about their preparations and ceremony and check back tomorrow for their dance filled reception, funny moments brought to us be the New Zealander’s and of course their highlights slide show.

Love Notes – Ceremony Officiant, Rev Ken Byrd

Amanda opening her gift from Cameron.

Loved her shoes and the shadows they made on the chair.

Oh yeah, it fits and she is in!

Amanda had an very dramatic train and I love how this photo shows the impact of it while they were putting on her shoes.

I can remember this moment exactly, she was telling her bridesmaid not to dare cry…..She knew if anyone else started she would too.

A little silliness is always a good thing.

Cameron and his international groomsmen, looking very dapper I must say.

One of my favorite things at weddings in when the officiant introduces the couple, this is the best reaction. 🙂

Here is the entire gang, we had every guest stay after the ceremony for a quick photo since so many of their guests traveled from all over the world to attend.

This bridal party had me cracking up all day because with them the FUN never STOPS.
