Emilee & Jeff – Wedding Reception at the Modern Art MuseumFort Worth, Texas

November 19, 2016 Details

These two – swoon! This painting so perfectly explains them – they may have opted for a classic and elegant black and white color palette but Emilee & Jeff have such colorful personalities and when they are together they are so much in balance – just like this artwork!

During their wedding reception at The Modern Art museum in Fort Worth everyone had a ton of fun! The grand hall was beautiful with tall white topiary floral with a mixture of low centerpieces accented by silver and clean lined black chivari chairs. The statement in the room was the dance floor though – the custom black and white dance floor by DFW Dance Floors was cool and really brought the room together. As the couple walked the catwalk and entered the reception by the grand stair case they went straight into their first dance. Jeff held Emilie close and embraced her with his hands on her face as they shared that first dane as though they were the only ones in the room. After dinner and some toasts that brought everyone to laughter (and a few tears) it was time to party!

I am so excited for what the future holds for you two – Emilee and Jeff – Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. I loved every moment with you and was inspired by your love for each other and all those around you. Congrats!

Emilee & Jeff – Wedding Ceremony at Marty Leonard ChapelFort Worth, Texas

November 18, 2016 Ceremony

Emilee & Jeff’s black and white wedding was not just super pretty – it was full of emotional moments that made me get goose bumps and cry happy tears behind my camera. After an sweet first look at the Omni hotel we headed to Marty Leonard Chapel for their wedding ceremony. Emilee got her bridesmaids super fun black and white polka dot umbrella’s by Kate Spade so we had to use them for a photo – so cute! After some photos of the bridesmaids and groomsmen outside the church it was time for their fall nighttime ceremony. The chapel has bright light during the day but at night it is moody and dimly lit and I think it feels very romantic. During the ceremony I don’t think Jeff stopped smiling for an instant – I love his smile – so bright and contagious. Even now I am smiling as I type thinking about his face. 🙂 After the I do’s we were able to capture some night time portraits showing off the architecture and space that makes the Marty Leonard Chapel so beautiful and unique.

Weddings are awesome but they are sure made better by a fab vendor team! Thankfully Emilee had one great team:

Emilee & Jeff – Getting Ready & First Look at the Omni HotelFort Worth, TX

November 17, 2016 First Look

Where do I even begin? This couple is just the sweetest most silly in the perfect ways kind of in love that makes my life better. The way they look at each other, how they melt into each others arms and their willingness to enjoy life and laugh is refreshing and inspiring. Emilie & Jeff met in High School, kept in touch, and eventually fell hard in love as you can see by these photos.

The couple and their families and friends prepared for the wedding at The Omni Fort Worth Hotel. Emilee was full of nervous energy and laughter as she awaited seeing her prince. She is close to her Mom and sister and I loved the connection they had to each other as they helped her dress in her textured gown. Jeff looked so good and SO ready to see Emilee as he awaited my direction to turn around. When he turned his jaw dropped and rightly so – Emilee was stunning! These two laughter, embraced and checked each other out as they chatted about the day. It was such a heartfelt first look and after we had the parents join us for a gift and one of my favorite moments of the day – Jeff’s Mom & Step Dad seeing Emilee for the first time. Dad gave a big OK and Mom was just speechless – I love watching families become one that so deeply care for the person their child is marrying. It sure makes it extra special.

Thanks to our vendor partners!
