Caroline & Mitch – Wedding Reception at Ashton Depot

November 23, 2015 Details

These night time shots kill me! Like, make me jump up and down I’m so happy for the opportunity to make the dark look beautiful! I think almost all photographers love beautiful natural light but sometimes that just isn’t what your day has. In the fall/winter in Texas with the early sunset time it is often dark when the ceremony ends. We take that challenge and love to create some moody, romantic lit portraiture. I love this series of images of Caroline & Mitch in the garden at the Ashton Depot and out front with the lights of Fort Worth behind them. The depot is one of my favorite venues in Fort Worth – it is always beautiful and the service and food there is just perfect. Caroline & Mitch’s guests enjoyed the entertainment – from a fun caricature artist to the fab band. A sparkler send off and on to the Honeymoon!

Ann & John – Fort Worth Wedding Reception at The Modern Art Museum

June 12, 2012 Moments

I love The Modern. There is no other way to slice it, say it or even think about wording it. It tops my list of wedding reception venues for SO many reasons from the galleries to the architecture and of course the yummy food provided by Cafe Modern. After Ann & John’s wedding at Marty Leonard Chapel we hopped on a bus over to The Modern. We headed into the galleries for some romantic portraits by some of my favorite art works. We were blessed with perfect light outside then we kicked off an amazing party. It really was beautiful thanks to the following vendors:

Tami Winn Events – Jaime, Coordinator

Bliss Bridal – Brides Gown

Halo Salon – Hair and Makeup

Turquoise Video – Wedding Cinema

Emerald City Band

Cafe Modern at The Modern Art Museum

Yes Taco! Truck – Late night snacks after the exit

Wynn Transportation

Legacy Cakes – cupcakes & cake pops

Seated photos in the galleries are so often some of my favorites. The perspective is just awesome.

Always love Marilyn by Andy Warhol and one HOT bride and groom.

What’s Up?

Super sweet.

Love them and the perfect backdrop of The Modern and the reflecting pool.

Who says cute shoes accessories are just for the girls. John rocked his bright and fun socks.

Light to swoon over. Ahhhhh.

Time to party!

Ann & John had lovely details from the tiny treats to the classic menu’s and the ambiance of Cafe Modern.

Dad’s toast might have gone a little long, here is sister and Maid of Honor trying to steal the mike.

Ann & John – Fort Worth Wedding at Marty Leonard Chapel with preperation at The Omni Hotel

June 11, 2012 First Look

Ann & John’s wedding was a perfect party which is exactly what this couple wanted, a fun day with dancing, family and lots of laughs. It went by SO fast that when the band played the last song no one could believe it was time to leave. I met up with the couple at The Omni Hotel in Fort Worth for preparations. Halo Salon joined us for hair and makeup and they created Ann’s mermaid like waves. After Ann slipped into her dress and John passed out the cowboy hats (his groomsmen gift) she awaited him on the balcony where they had their first look. The above photo is one of my favorite from our short time on the windy terrace before we sought the calm and cool of indoors. Read on for more about their day and check back tomorrow for their beyond amazing reception at The Modern with Emerald City.

Their day was made ever so beautiful with the help of the following vendors:

Tami Winn Events – Jaime, Coordinator

Bliss Bridal – Brides Gown

Halo Salon – Hair and Makeup

Turquoise Video – Wedding Cinema

I LOVE, love, LOVED Ann’s bridesmaid attire (and her gown from Bliss Bridal). She was so savvy and had all of her girls find a dress of their liking in the same color palette. It looked so smart.

swoon…..shoes that sparkle steal my heart.

Ann’s Mom laughing and enjoying the girls during the preparations.

Showing of the bling!

Love Ann’s sisters face as she overhears Ann’s future plans for her. They have to have babies together (and she needs to move back to Texas!)

John getting a little help from his little brother with his tie. Their suits were so clean and modern.

Time for the dress!

Daddy of the bride was HILARIOUS! This was his reaction to his daughter in her gown. 🙂

Stunning and awaiting her groom.

See any similarities in reaction? Adore that John thought his wife to be so beautiful that his jaw dropped.

Pure sweetness.

Playing with props – Love that all these boys are going home to their non-cowboy states with hats that say TEXAS!

Feeling a little John Wayne.

Ann beamed as she approached the altar for her wedding ceremony.

A big embrace as Dad trusts his little girl to John.

Boys will be boys and these one played tricks. The last groomsmen held the ring and as each man looked back to the next then passed it forward to the best man the crowd chuckled.

They had such a smashing first part of their wedding day but the romantic portraits to come at The Modern and the dance party provided by Emerald City was KILLER!!!!
