Cherrell & Alan – New Years Eve Wedding ReceptionFort Worth Club

January 30, 2019 Details

Happy New Year! Cherrell & Alan’s wedding was my last of 2018 and the first of 2019 as we rang in the new year together! Having a New Year’s wedding is special – you gather your family and friends for a celebration they will be talking about every year to come. It’s definitely special. As a photographer it is a recipe for fun! DJ Nate Nelson and Vibe the Band made sure the party didn’t stop until the confetti fell.

Cherrell & Alan – Wedding Ceremony at Marty Leonard ChapelFort Worth, Texas

January 30, 2019 Ceremony

Cherrell and Alan had an elegant nighttime ceremony at Marty Leonard Chapel. The chapel is such a gorgeous venue that really transforms at night. Their candlelit wedding was so sweet. Alan has the most beautiful smile and when Cherrell walked the aisle with her Daddy his face lit up the room. After the ceremony we played in the dark inside and outdoors to take advantage of the gorgeous architecture of the chapel.

Cherrell & Alan – Wedding Preperations at Fort Worth ClubFort Worth, Texas

January 30, 2019 Details

I have been waiting for this New Years Eve wedding for almost 2 years! Cherrell and Alan are super sweet together and they have spent almost the entirety of their relationship apart – both pursuing medical degrees and now they are finally able to marry their lives together. For their wedding we ended the last day of 2018 with them at the Fort Worth Club.

After dressing in her gorgeous gown from Georgio’s Bridal she had a reveal with her Daddy that was so sweet. Cherrell has a close relationship with all the men in her life. Her Dad and Grandfather both had special moments with her pre-ceremony but her little brother hid, turned around and shielded his eyes every time she was nearby so that he would see her for the first time when Alan did. He just melted my heart.

Thanks to all the vendors who made Cherrel & Alan’s wedding day a New Years Eve to remember:

Kyndall & Cole – Wedding Reception at TCU Champions ClubFort Worth, Texas

July 29, 2017 Details

This wedding reception at The Champion Club overlooking Amon Carter Stadium at TCU was purple and full of sparkle! Kyndall and Cole let the purple stand out in linen’s, up-lighting and floral touches. Oh but the sparkle – they had the coolest dance floor I have ever seen – a silver glitter dance floor! I loved the way the light reflected off it through out the night! And once glitter dance floor isn’t enough so their cake had its own glitter floor drop too! With yummy food by Bonnell’s and sweet treat’s from J Rae’s this wedding had every fine Fort Worth detail!

We had a blast on the dance floor with Kyndall & Cole and special guest super frog! TCU will always be a part of their love story and their reception was truly a love filled evening. Congrats to you both! Thank you for inviting us to share this day with you, to capture all the laughter and joy. It was perfect in every way!

Thank you to every vendor that made this day so special!

Kyndall & Cole – Wedding Portraits at Texas Christian UniversityFort Worth, Texas

July 27, 2017 Romantics

They say rain is good luck on a wedding day and if that is true Kyndall and Cole will walk through their marriage with luck at their side! We all expect July weddings to be hot but on this day a surprise summer storm popped up just as these two were about to say I do! The rain was outside so we played inside! The new renovations at Robert Carr Chapel look awesome and you can see how crisp and beautiful this classic chapel is in these photos. The rain just wouldn’t let up but we didn’t let that stop us from getting some photos in the Horned Frog Football Stadium! At the Amon Carter Stadium it was drizzly and humid but we embraced the day and the humidity for some super cute photos for these TCU alumni.

Thank you to the vendors who made Kyndall & Cole’s day so beautiful!

Kyndall & Cole – Wedding Ceremony at Robert Carr ChapelTCU in Fort Worth, Texas

July 26, 2017 Ceremony

This TCU wedding was perfect in every way! This couple met at TCU and it is now the place they said I do! When they met Cole immediately knew that Kyndall was special and he pursued her as a friend and eventually a girlfriend. I think his hard work paid off as Kyndall could not be more in love with Cole. The excitement leading up to the ceremony was at a 10! Both, ready to see each other and SO ready to be married! We met up with these guys at the Fort Worth Omni Hotel for the preparations for the wedding at Texas Christian University. As Kyndall dressed her Mom looked on with pride and love for her little girl. When Daddy came into the room to see his daughter, a bride, it was perfect – the hugs, the laughter and a little bit of tears. So sweet as they exchanged gifts and words before heading off to walk his daughter down the aisle. Cole and his guys had a good time pre-ceremony with toasts of Whiskey, laughter and fun to ease his nerves and get him ready for the biggest “game day” of his life. I was truly blessed to watch these two vow to one another love, devotion and respect and I know that God will carry them and their marriage through the life ahead. Congrats you two!

Kyndall & Cole’s wedding vendor team was perfection! Huge thanks to:

Caitlin & Jordan – Wedding Reception at the Dallas Petroleum ClubDallas, Texas

December 9, 2016 Details

Caitlin & Jordan’s Dallas Petroleum Club wedding reception was fun filled and beautiful! Caitlin knows what she likes and I could feel her aesthetic throughout her ballroom decor. Her florist, Bryan Long, brought her vision to life with dripping flowers from the chandeliers and large scale topiaries mixed with lower lush pieces. Along with candlelight, seating vignettes and lighting the space was warm, inviting and elegant. From the first dance to the last dance these two were so fun to capture smile, laugh and dance with their family and friends. Above for their private last dance I pulled them off the dance floor and into the middle of their ballroom so we could not only capture their extreme cuteness but the feeling of the space they created.

Caitlin & Jordan – I love you guys. Thanks for being so gracious, kind and friendly to me and my team. You made us feel important and that connection led to lots of happy tears and smiles behind my camera. Thanks for being the last of 2016 and setting the tone so well going into next year. I know God has great things for you both!

Caitlin & Jordan – Wedding Ceremony at the Sky LobbyDallas, Texas

December 8, 2016 Ceremony

The Sky Lobby at Chase Tower in Dallas, Texas was the most perfect backdrop for this modern couple’s wedding ceremony. Before heading upstairs to say I do we captured some romantic images in front of the venue. Caitlin & Jordan’s day had so many beautiful locations that I have had to separate their wedding blogs into 4 posts so I could give each spot their own spotlight! The Sky lobby has stunning views of Dallas and even after the sunset the room was big and spacious and elegant with the glimmer of downtown lights in the distance. During their ceremony I loved watching their smiles, their parents and of course all the perfect little moments that made everyone laugh. Such a special time!

Shout out to the vendor team who made this ceremony look so stunning:

Megan & Dylan – Wedding Reception at The Modern Art MuseumFort Worth, Texas

September 26, 2016 Details

The Modern Art Museum of For tWorth is always a fave spot of mine – the venue has the most gorgeous architecture and being photographed in front of world class art is kind of amazing. With an exhibit taking up the downstairs of the museum Philip, the museum guru, took me to a few spots I don’t usually get to visit including this fun lit piece above that was made for a romantic silhouette shot!

The grand hall was stunning with the grey’s of the museum against the silver and plum purples of the reception design by Tami Winn Events. Lighting by It’s your night entertainment brought depth to the space. To really escalate the bar spaces Tami Winn brought in hedge walls and bar facades. So pretty!

Megan & Dylan entered the grand hall via the cat walk above their reception and welcomed guests before sitting down to dinner. After cake and some mingling we moved the party to the cafe where the oval custom dance floor became center stage. During the first dance Megan’s Daddy some how unplugged all the lighting systems but these two kept going and we kept photographing – it was definitely one of those funny moments that will forever be a wedding day story. Megan & Dylan partied, danced, tossed bouquets & garter’s and savored every moment of their wedding reception!

I could not make all the beautiful images without the help of a fabulous vendor team, thanks to these guys for making my job easy!

Megan & Dylan – First Look & PortraitsWedding Day in Fort Worth

September 26, 2016 First Look

Just look at that! See! I am in love with this day and all the feelings that just bubbled over from start to finish. Megan and Dylan chose to see each other before their TCU Robert Carr Chapel wedding ceremony. We set up Dylan on the deck at The Omni Hotel Fort Worth as he awaited his bride. He was so ready to see her and just before he turned around to see Megan I asked him what he thought her dress looked like, he nailed it! Dylan knows his sweet Megan well, he said her gown was big and sparkly. 🙂 Love that! When he turned these two both just burst out in tears of joy – their day had finally arrived!!!

After some emotion, hugging it out and catching up on their day we took some romantic portraits before heading over to the Kimbell Art Museum with the bridesmaids and groomsmen for some fun photo ops. The clean lines and bright light colors of the architecture outside there perfectly balanced the reception space at The Modern Art Museum. I really could just photograph these two for hours alone – they were so adorable. But, they kind of needed to get to the chapel and get married so I had to let them go.
