Kristen & Preston – Wedding Reception at Fort Worth Club

May 26, 2015 Moments

While Kristen & Preston’s guests enjoyed cocktail hour we made the best of the last moments of light and took some lovely romantic images in Burnett Park. After using up the last of that golden glow it was on to the party and BOY did we party! I love a wedding where time speeds by, the dance floor is full and my heart is happy celebrating alongside my couples. Their wedding was exactly like this. We hardly ever left the dance floor one The Project kicked off the party. My feet hurt and I am sure like everyone else at this wedding that didn’t matter because our hearts were full!

At the reception Kristen made sure every guest had something to do. From dancing the night away to late night snacks and of course some fun party games! Putt putt, corn hole and giant Jenga were available for party guests as well as a photo booth when they wanted to step away from the dance floor. Every detail was thought of and lets not forget some awesome Koozie’s and coasters to commemorate this killer party.

All my readers know how much I love relationship so sometimes my favorite image from a wedding is an unexpected one. From this wedding you will need to scroll down, quite a ways to see it. At the end of the night, during one of the last songs. Kristen and her brother & sister were dancing together and I captured a moment amongst these siblings that made my heart happy. As a Mom myself, this is exactly the kind of image I would die to have of my grown children one day. It also shows what a great job her parents have done, that these 3 enjoy each other. Well done Mom & Dad!

Congratulations to the bride and groom! You two know how to party, how to love, and I know God will carry you through your lives with lots of fun and joy because of your attitudes.

Becca & Drew – Engagement Portraits at Chandor Gardens

November 3, 2014 Engagement

Becca & Drew’s wedding is just months away and will be my first wedding of 2015 and I can’t wait! This couple will be having a fabulous winter wonderland wedding at The Colonial Country Club and I know it is going to be gorgeous. I love this classic and timeless taste that Becca has for both her wedding day decor and her own look. Becca and Drew went for attire that will never go out of style for their engagement session at Chandor Gardens in Weatherford. It is one of my all time favorite locations for sessions – always great light, fabulous greenery and makes for perfect photos! These two met through mutual friends and I can tell they just click! I will see you both so soon!

Yasmin and Scott – Engagements in Highland Park, Dallas

July 30, 2014 Weddings

Scott and Yasmin were a lucky couple a few weeks ago as after a big rain storm temps dropped and we did a very rare mid day session in July! It was beyond perfect and I am so glad the weather was so kind to us as Scott had flown in that weekend so we could get together! We met up in Dallas in Highland Park for a classic and timeless backdrop for their engagement photos. We visited three parks and Lakeside pictured above was definitely my favorite! Scott and Yasmin were easy in front of the camera, being playful, laughing and cuddling up together. Scott says it helps that they live in different places, he just wanted to hold his beautiful bride to be since he hadn’t seen her in a few weeks. Must say if absence makes the heart grow fonder AND makes for fabulous pictures I don’t have a problem with that! Luckily though in a few weeks these two will be calling Houston home together and I know they can’t wait to be in the same zip code again! Scott was a hoot joking and putting Yasmin at ease. I loved this cream lace dress with see through back, so fun! Their wedding next year at Fort Worth Club is going to be beyond fun with 2 ceremonies, one at TCU where the couple met and a Persian ceremony at the club.

Jordan & Jonathan – Engagement Photos in downtown Dallas and the Arboretum

October 23, 2012 Engagement

Jordan & Jonathan are friends of one of my past couples so I was thrilled when they selected me to photograph their wedding. For their engagement session we headed to Dallas where they live and he proposed. Jonathan took Jordan to the Dallas Arboretum for one of their evening concerts and had planned to pop the question as soon as they arrived. As they strolled the garden Jordan saw a spot that she thought would be so pretty at sunset so he decided they would come back later and then he would ask her to marry him. As they strolled, had a drink and waited for the sunset Johnathan’s family went into panic mode as they thought he should have certainly had an answer by then. Their worries were for nothing though as when he did finally ask she accepted. I love this photo below in the spot where he proposed. Can’t wait to share their wedding day with them next May.

Carley & Drew {Engaged} Fort Worth Urban Locations & Trinity River

February 6, 2012 Engagement

Has this weather not been fantastic lately? Today it is feeling a bit like winter but the last few weeks we have had unheard of warmth for January and February! That is completely fine with me as we have been busy photographing engagements for some of our 2012 couples. Carley & Drew live near Houston so we had to plan around one of their trips up to Fort Worth to see Carley’s family. We explored a few of my favorite locations and one new spot. Carley requested some photos near the Trinity river and I have been eying these tall reeds by the river off Beach Street for some time so I was excited to finally check them out. It is actually a part of a larger park and bike trails that connects to the park that is home to the Fort Woof Dog Park. Definitely a new favorite spot. Favorite moment during their session, Drew’s awesome eyebrow raise. Maybe I should say moments because I caught him doing it more than once. Love clients that can express them selves. See you two later this year for your wedding in November!

Morgan & Walt {Engaged} in Dallas at Turtle Creek & Arlington Hall

December 7, 2010 Engagement

Morgan and Walt met up with me in Dallas last week for their engagement session. They live right off Turtle Creek and wanted photos there and by Arlington Hall as it is their home. Morgan is a Fort Worth girl though so next year in March they will be getting married at Robert Carr Chapel at TCU with a reception at The Colonial Country Club. It was great getting to meet Walt and learning more about them both. Morgan is a Pilate instructor but has a background in accounting and finance. Walt is a referee for the Big 12, such a cool job! He does have a “real” job too but I think the ref one is a tad cooler. These two have know each other for a VERY long time because their Dad’s work together. I love when relationships grow out of casual acquaintance and I think it is awesome that their families are already so close. Can’t wait to see you both again in a few months for your wedding!
