Taylor & Keaton – Engagement Photos in Fort Worth at Urban Walls & Trinity Park

October 28, 2013 Engagement

Oh, HOTNESS is about the only way to describe this couple. I just fell in love with them from the moment they started interacting during this session. Taylor & Keaton selected some fun urban walls and a more city cool style for their locations and I LOVE it! It was great to get to check out some of my favorite local spots just down the street from my studio. After some steamy romantics and some general silliness (these girl cracks me up!) we met up with Keaton’s kiddos at Trinity Park for a mini family shoot. When a couple is getting married with kids it is so important to include them in all the festivities, even engagement photos. Can’t wait for the wedding next year at The Piazza! It is going to rock!

Bailey & Brandon- Engagement Portraits at The Modern, Field, and College Street in Fort Worth

August 19, 2013 Engagement

Bailey and Brandon are SO stinkin cute, I mean, look at them! Bailey is gorgeous and Brandon, strong and handsome as he may be also is a giant goof and I love that. These two toughed it out with me on one HOT morning this month but it was completely worth it. They are from Midland and had photos taken there so we got to play and get them a very different vibe up here in Fort Worth. They met through mutual friends and after a few missteps Brandon finally got his intentions across to Ms. Bailey and they have been a match ever since. I can’t wait for the Winter Wedding at The Ashton Garden designed and planned by the always amazing Julie Eastman of Extraordinary Events and Design.

Ashlyn & Ben – Engagement Portraits in Fort Worth at the Stockyards, fields & urban locations

July 3, 2012 Engagement

Ashlyn and Ben were super cute and the perfect end to a great week before I headed out for vacation. Making their session even more adorable we were joined by their 2 children, Ashlyn’s dog and Ben’s puppy. Ben made it very clear that Buddy was his dog and I must say that he may have been the best behaved 6 week old I have ever photographed. Ashlyn’s Mom joined us as puppy wrangler then headed off to water and feed them so that the three of us could explore. We love the doggie helping Mom’s, without them it would be next to impossible to have our best friends in photos. Ashlyn and Ben made me laugh allot and I am so glad I finally got to meet them as they have been living out of state before recently moving down to Austin. Ben cracked me up with some of his posing and silly faces BUT I swooned over their sweetness and Ashlyn’s killer eyes. She has the kind we all wish for with the dark rings around the edges, they are two toned and AH-Mazing. I will see you two again soon in September for your wedding at First United Methodist and Fort Worth Club!

Rachel & Andrew {Engagement Portraits} in Fort Worth, Texas

January 9, 2012 Engagement

Rachel & Andrew live in New York City so I met them for the first time at their engagement session just a few days before Christmas. It was great to finally get to meet them and learn about them. I had a little idea about who they were because they sent me their proposal video. Andrew is one smart chap who planned a sneaky surprise for Rachel. Rachel was supposed to be going ice skating in central park, a perfectly normal thing (I guess if you are a New Yorker this is so) but while on her way he ambushed her with a serenade and a very important question. I love that he sung an Adam Sandler song to her before asking for her hand, it gave me such great insight on them. Rachel’s family flew to New York from Texas to be there and surprise her as well. It was truly a romantic moment. During their engagement session they taught me about some things from how tiny apartments are in Times Square and how having a cool apartment (that is big like Andrew’s) is something you don’t let go of. They also gave me tips on finding public restrooms in NYC which is apparently a problem I was unaware of. All in all the thing I learned that was most important was how much these two love each other. They are practically silly in the most amazing ways and I can tell they were created to entertain each other the rest of their lives. Can’t wait for their wedding this coming Fall!

Summer & Paul {Engaged} Private Residence, The Modern and Downtown

December 3, 2011 Engagement

These two are my ideal clients: Smart, fun, lovers and collectors of art, planning a killer wedding at one of my favorite locations and well, gorgeous. With all that in their favor I wanted them from the moment I met them and I was ready jump over the moon when they hired me. I was also really excited to shoot the first part of their engagement session at their soon to be home in the Monticello neighborhood of Fort Worth. They haven’t moved in yet but you can see by the outside what a beautiful space it is and I promise the inside is even better. Summer and Paul laid their trust in me and we ran around town, played and I got to do some things I have been wanting too for awhile. Summer and Paul met at Times Ten Cellar and Paul was very persistent in courting Summer, he sent her a list of possible first dates that I don’t think any woman could turn down so she accepted. I know she was glad she did, he is a great catch and a very loving man. He proposed in Istanbul so he may win the prize for coolest spot ever to pop the question. Their wedding is only a few short months away in February at The Modern.

Courtney & Jake {Engaged} Fort worth Trinity Park, post office and downtown

September 13, 2011 Engagement

Courtney and Jake are a super fabulous couple, they met at work, which is a great way to meet a spouse (that’s were I met mine!) These two both work for the Texas Rangers so they have planned their wedding around baseball season so that everyone they love will be able to attend and to cut down on stress. I just loved Courtney’s disposition and her vision for her wedding when we met a few weeks ago and it was great to finally meet Jake. Can’t wait to see you both again in January at your wedding!

Sara & Derek {Engaged} Fort Worth Urban & a Grassy picnic

July 13, 2011 Engagement

Sarah Derek Fort Worth Engagement Session Urban Walls Field Tall Grass Cupcakes Picnic Scrabble Tracy Autem Photo

Sara & Derek are getting married next June and although I wont be photographing their wedding I was very excited to get to know them and capture this important time in their life. They knew exactly what they wanted location wise, wore beautiful bright outfits and brought along so cute props so they were SO my kind of people. I immediately felt a bond with Sara over her love of cupcakes because seriously, who doesn’t love cupcakes! They were incredibly sweet to one another and both of them just wowed me with their infectious smiles and killer eyes. I must say at the end of the session I was sad that I won’t be photographing their wedding but they do have one lucky photographer because they are a joy to have in front of the camera. Best of luck in all your wedding plans and I hope that I helped you nail down those color choices (Sara has been so overwhelmed and not able to decide but we did some major color conversing during our shoot – turquoise and dusty rose, pretty!!!)

Aimee & Adam {Engaged} Urban Walls & Trinity Park in Fort Worth

December 24, 2010 Engagement

Last weekend Aimee, Adam and I met up and spent some time together for their engagement session. They are getting married next May at OW Ranch in Granbury. Aimee and I had a great time chatting and getting to know one another. Adam is definitely the strong silent type but I think I was able to break through and get to know him as well. It is always fun to see the dynamic’s in a relationship and I found myself completely identifying with this couple. Like them I am the chatty one and am more likely to be out and about and my hubby is the home body. Aimee and Adam met online and everything just came together for them. I love how many of my couples find love online, I hear it more often than you know.
