Melissa & Doug – Wedding Ceremony at First United Methodist ChurchFort Worth, Texas

April 4, 2018 Ceremony

Melissa and Doug had a beautiful wedding at First United Methodist Church in Fort Worth a few weeks ago. The couple selected this church because many of Doug’s family members have married here over the years so it was the perfect nod to tradition. The couple loves old world architecture and the classic archways were the perfect backdrop for their portraits and first look! For this spring wedding God totally blessed us and gave us some sunshine and clear skies right up until we were finishing with outdoor portraits! Then the rain came! Could not have had better timing.

Thanks to al the vendors who made this day so beautiful:

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 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!

Colleen & Frank – Wedding in Lewisville and Reception at The Ashton DepotFort Worth, Texas

November 8, 2016 Ceremony

Tracy Autem 2015

Colleen & Frank have been dating for 2 years. These two met and quickly fell in love. Their quirky and brainy personalities are such a perfect match and you can really see how they complete each other. The love to travel, their dogs and enjoy spending time together caring for their family and friends. Throughout their wedding day I could see the strong passion they have for others and placing people before themselves. They are kind and full of love for each other too. 🙂

For their wedding we started the day at Colleen’s childhood home in Lewisville before their wedding at St Phillip’s Catholic Church – where she attended as a child and teen. They exchanged gifts before the wedding and Frank’s awesome Dr. Who cufflinks were so fun and perfectly him! Frank gave Colleen a jewelry box (and some jewelry of course) but what caught me was his instructions and help so that she would know how to open the box just right. During the ceremony there were lots of smiles and laughs and it was all sealed with a kiss – poor Frank was left with a little reminder of that kiss but Colleen lovingly wiped the lipstick from his face before the were pronounced man and wife.

After the wedding ceremony we headed to the Fort Worth Stockyards for some fun romantic photos of the couple and bridesmaids and groomsmen. The rustic nature area (above) is so pretty and perfect for some images of the two alone before some more fun pics in the stockyards station. We got there right as the cows were walking the streets for their daily cattle drive and had to jump into the road for some pics with the historic signage.

At the Depot a beautiful and lush floral filled room awaited the couple for their party. The night was filled with great toasts, sweet dances, fun, laughter and some delicious bites! It was such a fun night and I was so happy to be with them. Thank you for trusting us to be part of your day and I am so excited for all the future holds for you.

Chelsea & Spencer – Wedding Reception at the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum

Fort Worth Modern Art Museum Wedding Arborlawn Methodist Church Tracy Autem photographer blush pink tami winn chelsea spencer-70

Chelsea & Spencer hosted their reception at The Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth. We always love working there as the galleries are a super special treat to be able to photograph in. The couple walked the catwalk and down the grand stairs to the great hall at the Modern to kick off their reception with their first dance. The museum looked perfect with the soft pinks, whites and golds and I just loved the unique head table installation. After dinner and parent dances the band’s horn section led back into the cafe for a night of dancing and fun. Chelsea and Spencer spent much of the evening chatting up their guest, giving lots of hugs and never to far from each others sides. Congratulations you two! It was an amazing night and I am so happy we were able to be with you!

Chelsea & Spencer – Wedding Ceremony at Arborlawn Methodist Church

June 24, 2015 Ceremony

Spencer wins the prize for best reaction ever to seeing his beautiful bride. I loved it so much I had to make a special collage so you can really see the sequence of events. As Chelsea entered Arborlawn Methodist on her Dad’s arms Spencer went from beaming, to his knees in surprise, hands over his face to standing with tears and a smile as he took her hands. BEST EVER. 🙂 Well on top of this emotion filled moment this couple had a spectacular day. From getting ready until the last song played we enjoyed being with this sweet couple and their families.

We kicked off the day at Chelsea’s parents house for some primping and preparing. After dressing Chelsea did a reveal of her gown with her maids as well as a special first look with her Dad. Loved seeing his proud and happy face when he saw his oldest daughter in her laced overlay gown. The boys hung out at the couples new home and played around – drinking, flying a remote control helicopter and generally struggling with some bow ties! Good thing Spencer is a bow tie pro as he helped all his guys with their suiting.

During the ceremony Spencer shed even more tears as Chelsea just radiated happiness. It was pretty perfect! Walking out of the church as husband and wife Spencer immediately grabbed Chelsea in a bear sized hug and then they chatted, caught up on the day and finally got a chance to talk. More photos of their reception at The Modern Art Museum coming tomorrow!

Chelsea and her Mom pulled together a pretty phenomenal team of vendors including:

Chelsea – Bridal Portraits at Chandor Gardens

June 20, 2015 Bridal Portraits

As I am finishing up this gorgeous ladies wedding right now I had to show off her beautiful spring bridals at Chandor Gardens in Weatherford. The classic and timeless lines and greenery of the garden complimented her lace overlay gown with endless layers from De Ma Fille Bridal. Her gown’s unique silhouette made me so happy! Chelsea reminds me of Snow White with her stunning skin, rich dark hear and especially with that fun bright lip from Lip Service Makeup. Bouquet by Tami Winn Events.

Amanda & John – Wedding Ceremony at TCU Robert Carr Chapel

December 3, 2014 Ceremony

This gorgeous girl and this fabulous guy are married! I love my job and this couple is a perfect example of why. They are totally in love, meant for each other in every way but they are genuinely some of the most caring and loving people I have ever met. You can see it in their family, their friends and how they treat those around them. At their wedding I felt like I belonged, one of the family, and that is always so special when a couple makes their day about everyone there with them. I pray their marriage is just a spectacular as the awesome start it had on Nov 22! They are set for some good luck as it rained and poured during their ceremony but they didn’t let that get them down. We met up at the Hilton for some hanging out and girly silliness before heading over to Texas Christian University’s Robert Carr Chapel for the ceremony. At the chapel we had a packed house to watch these two say their I do’s. Congrats Amanda & John! Check back later for their fun filled reception at City Club of Fort Worth.

Thanks to all the vendors that helped make Amanda and John’s wedding day so special:
