Caroline & Rob – Engagement Session at Winspear & Highland ParkDallas, Texas

July 2, 2018 Engagement

Caroline and Rob are getting married next year at Holy Trinity Church and The Four Seasons. I can’t wait for their wedding after getting to know them a little better last week during an early sunrise session. This time of year beating the heat by waking up early is the best way to keep cool!

These two met through a dating ap and after a first date they kept in touch. A few months later Robb asked her for a second “first date” and they have been together ever since. These two are fun and love quality time with friends, family and their pup (who they brought along to their photo shoot!)

Congrats Caroline & Rob!

Megan & Casey – Mini Engagement at Eagle Mountain Lake Park

September 5, 2014 Engagement

Megan and Casey were married last weekend and the day before I met up with them for a quick mini engagement session. Casey hasn’t been back to the area since he proposed to Megan in May and as he is stationed with the military out of state the day before the wedding was the only time we could find so we could meet, get to know each other and create some engagement portraits for them. We had so much fun with them last weekend, they are super easy going and totally in love. You can see by the way Casey looks at Megan they are head over heels! Can’t wait to put the finishing touches on their wedding and share those in just a few days.

Richelle Bridal Portrait Session- Fort Worth Botanic Garden

September 15, 2013 Bridal Portraits

This beautiful lady married her prince a few weeks ago so I can finally show off her bridal portraits. Richelle and Travis’ wedding at St. Patricks Cathedral in downtown Fort Worth and Van Cliburn at Bass Hall was so much fun! I loved these two and I loved her dress! For the wedding day she donned sleeves that we don’t see in her bridal portraits for her ceremony. It was so classic but I love her dress this way too! We spent one very HOT afternoon at the Botanic Gardens for these photographs, we were all melting but she looked amazing through it all. I love my girls and their dedication and fearlessness in the face of Texas summers.

Kelley & John- Reception at Artspace 111

September 7, 2013 Moments

I had SOOOO much time with these two for photos and that makes me one very happy photographer. The fact that they are smitten for each other is just a bonus! Love this sweet and intimate image above showing off the beauty of Robert Carr Chapel on the campus of Texas Christian University and of course their sweetness. After these two were pronounced man and wife we headed over to Artspace 111 for their wedding reception. That had an intimate party with their closest friends and family. Over delicious food from Reata and cakes from Creme de la Creme everyone enjoyed chatting and connecting with one another. I truly am so blessed to get to be apart of peoples lives and participate in their wedding days. Congrats you two and I know you will have a long and happy life together!

Kelley & John- Ceremony at Robert Carr Chapel

September 6, 2013 Ceremony

Starting this post a little different. Usually I pick a really cute photo of the couple to kick off a wedding blog but this day was different. There were tons of great photos of Kelley & John but THIS image, this image is my favorite. Why? Because when he walked around the corner to see his Kelley, John reacted in the way every girl hopes. It was so beautiful, full of emotion and perfection. It is what first looks are supposed to be and why they are exactly what some couples need to do. (I am not a pushy person about them, I fully believe you should go with your guts and keep it traditional if that is what feels right.) This images sets the tone for their day in every way.

Well enough of breaking the mold, onto the standard post. 🙂 I could sum up this day with one word, HUGS! This couple and their families like to hug so very much that every time I turned around everyone was loving on each other. They truly are so close to their loved ones it was a pleasure to spend their day with them. We met up at The Omni Hotel in Fort Worth for some getting ready and make up by Halo Salon. John joined us on the balcony to see his bride for the first time before we ran off for some portraits and then their ceremony.

Thanks to all their Vendors:

August 28, 2013 Ceremony

Oh my goodness how I LOVED this wedding. Richelle and Travis are the real deal, totally and madly in love and so much stinkin FUN! From the moment their eyes locked during the first look these two had my swooning all day. The photo above, just moments after their first glimpse was a favorite the moment I took it. Never underestimate a location, they were waiting on an elevator and I looked up, saw it, shot it, ahhhhh. Happy photographer. They also had me happy all day long with their great expressions and emotional connection with family and friends. SO much so that this will be a 2 parter. Too much LOVE for one post!

In the hall, on her way to see her Groom, Mom caught her for a quick hug and some well wishes. So Sweet.

Boys are silly.

There He is.

There She is.

Must add the veil for some full effect at the church.

More boy craziness! I loved these guys!

Brighton & Chad- Engagement Portraits at Cedar Hill State Park

July 25, 2013 Engagement

Brighton and Chad are getting married in September at The Four Seasons and last weekend I joined up with them and their little boy, Blaise, for a fusion of engagement and family photos. I instantly loved these guys as we actually met for the first time at their session. Their little guy is just 2 weeks younger than my Gideon that I totally got where they are in life and all the challenges and joy they are facing as a family. Blaise was a smiley little man and looked OH so cute in his fedora hat. Chad and Brighton are great parents and I can see how much they love each other, they were so sweet to one another. I know there wedding, designed and planed by Tami Winn Events, is going to be off the chain amazing, I can’t wait!
