Lauren & Doug – Wedding Reception at Arlington HallDallas, TX

April 28, 2016 Details

Photo by Tracy Autem

This party was so much fun! Lauren & Doug celebrated alongside their friends and that dance floor was hopping! The Southern Table and Events by Kristen pulled together a beautiful reception space for them. The fireplace – oh the fireplace – the floral on that was to die fore. Every little detail was just perfect. Outdoors sat the head table – the long statement table was adorned with simple and sweet flower arrangements while inside the ballroom were tall floral show stoppers. It was beautiful! The reception was full of dancing, tradition and so much fun. My favorite thing was their cake toppers – Gold dinosaurs dressed as bride and groom adorned their cake. I just loved it. This couple brought personality to their day in every way.

Thank you both for allowing me to be with you. It was an amazing day I will not forget. I pray you have an amazing future ahead in New York and I hope I get to see you both again soon.

Lauren & Doug – Wedding Ceremony & First Look at Arlington HallDallas, TX

April 27, 2016 Ceremony

Photo by Tracy Autem

Lauren & Doug had a pretty fantastic day – it rained – oh how it rained. But through it all these two said I do and they are married. It was a day I will never forget and I am truly happy with the images we created.

The entire day our fingers were crossed and prayers were being said about the chance of rain that had spiked suddenly that morning. As we prepared at The Warwick Melrose for the wedding we were all watching the storm clouds. Upon arrival at Arlington Hall the sun came out and we had some glorious light as we quickly got Lauren & Doug ready for the big reveal. I loved Doug’s face when he turned to see his bride – so beautiful and lit by the mid day sun. God gave us a beautiful hour of light and sun and then the rain came back. We were not defeated though, we tried to hold the ceremony outdoors but after one failed attempt and allot of wet guests we moved on to an early cocktail hour. While the bride & groom visited with guests the all star vendor team moved a beautiful flower draped huppa to the portico of Arlington Hall. It was perfectly imperfect in every way and the ceremony that followed was full of laughter and love like I have never seen. The unexpected reveals, and for Lauren & Doug it revealed the deepness of their love, family & friends and that no matter the circumstances we were all there to celebrate them! The interfaith rabi did a great job lightning the mood and marrying these two.

Congrats Lauren & Doug!

This rainy day wedding would not have been pulled off without the AMAZING team of rockstar wedding vendors. I was so truly blessed to have these amazing people by my side to make sure Lauren’s day was perfect!

Madison & Holt – Wedding Reception at The Modern Art Museum Fort Worth

July 31, 2015 Details

Madison & Holt’s wedding reception at The Modern was a non stop party! These two stayed close all night and I saw SO much love between these two. A couple on a crowded dance floor gets to drop everything away and just be them. I am pretty sure that Madison has always hoped for a man to look at her like this, looking at this first photo you can see Holt adores her. Getting to capture moments like this is why I do this job and I think I have the best job in the world. Their party wasn’t just full of emotion but it was gorgeous too! Towering clean lined centerpieces with a classic aesthetic paired perfectly with this couples personality. Thanks to all the vendors who made the pretty happen:

Abby & Jeff – Wedding Reception at The Modern, Fort Worth

April 18, 2014 Moments

Abby & Jeff had a fabulous reception at The Modern after their Robert Carr Chapel Wedding Ceremony. Upon arrival and after a short introduction and dinner I stole these two away for photos in the galleries and outdoors with the building as a beautiful night time backdrop. The opportunity to photograph a couple with amazing architecture and artwork is one of my favorite parts of this unique reception venue. After dinner in the Grand Hall the party moved to the cafe where IDT Band was set up to fill the night with music! The floor was full and everyone, including me, had a great time. Congrats you two on your marriage and I know there are great things in your future!

Abby & Jeff – Wedding at Robert Carr Chapel

April 17, 2014 Ceremony

Abby & Jeff are married! They wed on 4.5.2014 with their ceremony at Robert Carr Chapel and reception following at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. We met up the couple before for getting ready photos. Abby and her ladies were pampered at The Omni and had their hair and makeup done by Beauty and the Blush. They had fun listening to tunes, singing along, telling stories and laughing at some bachelorette party gifts. The boys were just as lively and Jeff and his manly men donned their vests (with no shirts) for some silly group photos. I love some guys with a sense of humor! For this couple’s first look they saw one another as bride and groom for the first time in the chapel at TCU. Their pup Bentley joined them for a few “family” pics before they said their I Do’s. This couple is incredibly sweet and are just totally fun to work with. I had a great day with them and can’t wait to share their reception at one of my favorite reception spaces, The Modern!
