Stephanie & Connor – Wedding Reception at River Crest Country ClubFort Worth, Texas

June 15, 2018 Details

One of the things that Stephanie & Connor were looking forward to most is a stop by his family home before the reception for some portraits of the two of them. We made it happen and it was Oh so beautiful at sunset. With those views in the middle of the city and a perfect evening we couldn’t pass it up!

After their time alone they headed to the party where the couple was excited to welcome their guests from Texas and beyond! Fort Worth is now Stephanie’s home and sharing it with their family and friends was special!

These two have waited 7 years to say I do and I just love the story of their relationship:

“Connor and I met in freshman year at Harvard during the Fall. We were living in the same dormitory and introduced through a mutual friend. Connor was hosting a video game tournament and I tagged along with a few of my guy friends. From there, he asked for my phone number and after months of being friends we started dating in the Spring. We have dated for more than 7 years!” – Stephanie

So sweet, these two are just meant to be. Stephanie gave a not to Connor’s love of things intellectual with a super fun Star Wars themed grooms cake complete with light sabers! The decor for this wedding was breathtaking. Bella Flora did a fabulous job with the floral halo’s over the head table and all of the rental furniture and decor. It was a remarkable night with a ton of fun on the dance floor too as Emerald City kept the party rocking!

Thanks to every vendor who made this Fort Worth wedding amazing!

Laura & Dave – Wedding Reception at the George W. Bush Presidential CenterDallas, Texas

May 21, 2018 Uncategorized

After the wedding Laura sent me a little info about a few of her favorite parts of her day:

“Not exactly unique, but obviously the one thing I was most excited for was just getting to marry Dave”

I mean isn’t that the cutest? I loved that when I asked her what she was looking forward to about the wedding this was first on her mind, not things but Dave! It says so much about her heart for him and the amazing marriage they are going to have. She also liked some of the fun stuff! Here is what she had to say about that:

“I absolutely loved being able to have both the A&M and UT aspects come together for our wedding. Being able to have the half maroon and half burn orange koozies, as well as playing the Aggie War Hymn and the Eyes of Texas to represent both my and Dave’s alma maters was great (and it was a plus that we didn’t have any “school fights” break out or anything like that!).

Another thing I also loved about out wedding was that we were able to have a photobooth. Dave and I have always loved taking photobooth pictures together; it doesn’t matter where we are, anytime we find a photobooth, we have to take a picture together! We were able to take copies of some of the pictures we have taken together over the years in photobooths and blow them up for a poster to put next to our photobooth!

Another thing we both feel so blessed to have had on our wedding day was that we were able to have so many of our family members and friends some celebrate us from so many difference parts of the country (and world). We had family come in from East Texas, Dallas, Pennsylvania, Boston, but also had friends who came in from Florida, NYC, California, and even Australia! We felt so much love being able to celebrate with everyone!”

It was an awesome celebration! We had a fabulous time and I want to thank every vendor that worked so hard to make this night such a success:

Laura & Dave – Wedding Ceremony at Highland Park United MethodistDallas, Texas

May 19, 2018 Ceremony

Laura & Dave are just adorable together. Their wedding day was fun filled and oh so sweet! These two were introduced through a mutual friend Gabe, she knew Dave from law school and once night after a fun night out they met up and thus started the road to the altar. It took a little bit as Laura & Dave didn’t go on their first official date until a little over a month later. What started with Instagram likes and friend hang outs became more quickly! Here is what Laura had to say about their beginnings:

“Our “official first date” was Shakespeare in the Park for a showing of Romeo and Juliet. From then on we were pretty much inseparable (I think there were only 4 or 5 days we didn’t actually see each other during the first 6 months we had dated), and still love to go to Shakespeare in the Park on a regular basis as season pass holders. I knew within the first three weeks after Shakespeare in the Park that the was “the one”, and after he told me “I love you” (he said it first!) on Labor Day 2015, and I may have immediately started saving pictures of engagement rings on my phone…”

I just love them! Thanks to all the vendors who made their wedding day so special! My favorite part about their ceremony is that Laura grew up looking out her window at Cox Chapel, she saw so many brides in white dresses taking photos outside. On this day it was her turn! It was fun to do some getting ready in her childhood home across the street before saying I Do in the chapel!

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:

Bethany & Tyler – Wedding Reception at The Ashton DepotFort Worth, Texas

June 29, 2017 Details

This wedding reception is one I will likely never forget. At the end of the night I told Tyler that he is one of the coolest and most fun groom’s I have ever worked with. Tyler and Bethany both are a joy to be around and they made the best of their 4 hour reception. I am pretty sure they danced, hugged, talked and laughed with at least every guest they had. From the moment they walked in the tone was set for a killer night – as the doors opened and the band announced the Mr & Mrs and played “All I do is Win” these two entered the reception arms in the air and tore up the dance floor before their first dance had even begun. Their entrance was epic and it didn’t stop there. Reception’s are about more than the couple – they are about all the invited guest and loved ones. During this party I loved watching the parents interact with one another and their children. We caught Tyler hugging Bethany’s parents, chatting up his Dad and brother and being a little crazy on the stage with the band. Bethany sang with the band from the dance floor, had fun dancing beside her husband and stole lots of kisses from him all night.

To top all of that – Bethany and Tyler are my 4th couple in a group of friends I have been so lucky to photograph. Having 3 of my past couples dancing along side me as I captured this night was priceless. Building relationships with my couples and seeing them time and again at other friends weddings is such a huge reward. I’m looking forward to sharing the dance floor with all 8 of them next year at another one!

Bethany & Tyler – Wedding Ceremony at Robert Carr ChapelTCU Fort Worth, Texas

June 29, 2017 Ceremony

Hey! Look at this beautifully remodeled and fresh new look at Robert Carr Chapel! The iconic church on the campus of Texas Christian University just finished a long renovation earlier this month and I was SO excited to see it finished. I love the updated color palette, new floors, expanded altar and all the amazing amenities they have added. Can’t wait for all my upcoming weddings here!

Okay, enough about the new look at Robert Carr – back to Bethany & Tyler! Before walking down the aisle Bethany’s friends laid hands on her and prayed over her, the wedding and her life ahead as a Mrs. It was so sweet! During the ceremony these two were all smiles and I can’t blame them – I was too! Their pastor was hilarious – he gave a challenging word of inspiration. Pushing them to seek after a marriage that was full, overflowing and rich in all things – like a big gulp! Yes, a big gulp, and he had the cup to drive the point home as a prop! After saying I do, embracing the idea of a marriage that is MORE they kissed and it was done! They were married!

Robert Carr isn’t just gorgeous inside, it is outside as well and we took some beautiful photos of these two on the steps and around the chapel.

June 28, 2017 Details

Look at how cute and excited these two were to finally see each other! Bethany knew she wanted a location that was green and lush for her first sight with Tyler. We selected Trinity Park for just that reason and it was gorgeous! Right before he turned I asked him what he thought her dress might look like and he may have been a little off on his expectations but he was not disappointed when he turned to see Bethany. After some photos of the two of them alone they were joined by their bridesmaids and groomsmen for wedding party photos.

Bethany & Tyler – Wedding Preperations at Renaissance Worthington HotelFort Worth, Texas

June 27, 2017 Details

Bethany & Tyler are married and this day was so full of emotion, happy moments and lots of partying that I had to split all the awesomeness up into 4 blogs! Today we are taking a look at Bethany and Tyler preparing for their wedding at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel in downtown Fort Worth.

Bethany dressed in her suite surrounded by her friends and Mom. Her gorgeous lace gown by Pronovias with a plunging neckline was elegant and sensual and she looked stunning! Her updo emphasized the dress’ lines and her back. Bethany wore earrings from the Kendra Scott bridal collection and an heirloom bracelet – we all got a little emotional as Mom placed it on her wrist. My favorite thing was her reveal with Dad – he entered the room with eyes closed and when told to open them the photo above was the result. I loved how Mom was looking at her hubby to see the reaction he would have to their gorgeous daughter. It was super sweet and hugs were quick to follow!

Tyler and his boys had FUN while the got ready (that is kind of his thing!) He is really a sweet and loving guy who embraces laughter, silliness and allot of dancing. So his preparation time was full of silly selfies, shots and a side of dancing.

Sarah & David – Wedding Reception at City ClubFort Worth, Texas

August 26, 2016 Details

This party was gorgeous and fun! Justine’s flowers filled the ballroom with lush arrangements that were gorgeous and as the room filled and the party started the energy was high and it was time to dance. Signed, sealed, delivered put on quite a show and kept the dance floor packed and Sarah & David celebrating the night of their lives. I loved getting out there with them and dancing along – these families for sure knew how to party! From mingling with friends to singing on the stage this couple had a fabulous night that no one wanted to end. In fact, it really didn’t end – as they made their farewell to fluterfetti the crossed the street and their guests and friends followed as they took the party across the street for drink and more fun at a Sundance Square bar. Loved these two and seriously could do this one over and over again. Part of the reason this day was so phenomenal was all the great wedding professionals that I shared it with:
