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:

Allie & Kane – Wedding Reception at River Crest Country ClubFort Worth, Texas

April 6, 2016 Details

Tracy Autem Photography 2014 https://tracyautem.com

River Crest Country Club was just stunning for Allie & Kane’s wedding. This was my first wedding to photograph at the club and I just fell in love with the ballroom, the staff and the location. It was the perfect place for this elegant and classic wedding reception. Tami Winn created an amazing space complete with custom gold dance floors, hedge walls, custom signage and an outdoor space that was so welcoming. A gospel choir entertained the guests during cocktail hour before Downtown Fever took the stage to welcome the bride and groom into their first dance. All night these two were rarely apart and spent the evening chatting up friends and family or shaking it on the dance floor. It was such a fun night – all their guests had a blast. I have never seen so much spilt alcohol – a sure sign of a GOOD party! As the night came to a close we said farewell and sent Allie & Kane off to Thailand for their honeymoon.

Congrats you two – it was really a pleasure being with you. I could see the Love you have not only for each other but also for God. I could see the Lord’s hand in every working part of this day. My favorite part of the entire day was when Allie’s little sister asked me what my favorite wedding was. I responded all of them – each for different reasons. She wanted to know what my favorite part of this day was and it was a no brainer – God – I could see God in every part of this day. It was so amazing!

Thank you Tami for pulling together this couple’s dream day and for bringing us together as vendors!

Katie & Charlie – Winter Night Wedding Ceremony at Marty Leonard Chapel

January 20, 2016 Ceremony

We ended 2015 with one fun blowout of a party as we celebrated alongside Katie & Charlie at Marty Leonard Chapel and The Fort Worth Club. Before we could ring in the new year first we had to countdown to Conway and get these two married!

We kicked off the day at The Fort Worth club for preparations and some relaxing with the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The ladies were ready to party and sparkling from head to toe in their gold drape backed sequin gowns. Charlie, the sweetheart that he is, gave each of the bridesmaids a bottle of Creed Perfume, Love in White, with a hand written note on the back thanking them for being a part of their day. Every detail was perfect and thought out from the fabulous blue shoes Katie wore to the bejeweled clutch and the amazing sapphire ring borrowed from he groom’s Mother. When it was time to get dressed Katie just glowed. I love her classic and clean lined gown with a fun and textured flared skirt.

At the church we snuck in a few photos as the sun was setting outside. The ladies were so sophisticated in their fur stoles. Charlie and his guys were thankful for the cold though – it is so funny to me how guys are always hot! Whenever it is cold outside it seems like a blessing to the groom. Katie’s family had their childhood minister who baptized her fly in to perform the ceremony. By candlelight and romantic moody lighting the couple said their vows. Charlie cried a few tears and Katie was so radiant. It was such a pleasure to share this day with them.

Without this amazing team this wedding would not have been possible, thanks friendors!

Ali & Brent – Wedding Reception at Fort Worth Club

August 29, 2014 Weddings

Tracy Autem & Lightly Photography 2014

After a touch of pre ceremony rain we had bright sunny skies for some photos outdoors before heading to Alison and Brent’s wedding reception. I just love the exterior at Robert Carr Chapel, completely classic and so romantic. The couple and their bridal party had a bit of fun on the step and a groomsmen’s jacket may have been damaged by their shenanigans. 🙂 Then it was off to the reception for a fabulous party with Trey & the Tritones and a delicious sit down dinner by Fort Worth Club. Brent ended their first dance with a dip and a kiss and before long the floor was full and stayed packed with dancing and fun all night long! For their cakes the couple gave a not to their alma matter, Baylor with a themed cake and a fun gobo light. From the first dance to the last dance this night was perfect.
