Caitlin – Bridal Portraits at The Crescent HotelDallas, Texas

December 12, 2016 Bridal Portraits

Hardest part of my job hands down is sitting on images that I can’t share. Now that wedding season is coming to a close be prepared for an influx of beautiful bridal portraits! Caitlin’s bridal session was at The Crescent Hotel, a Rosewood Property, in Dallas. Her sleek and stunning gown with lace detailing, illusion mid-drift and neckline are the perfect mixture of alluring and elegant. The clean lines and greenery of the Crescen’ts outdoor spaces played well with the subtle organic nature of her gown and the indoor spaces added some drama. Caitlin’s look was pulled together with some help of some amazing vendors:

Caitlin & Jordan – Wedding Reception at the Dallas Petroleum ClubDallas, Texas

December 9, 2016 Details

Caitlin & Jordan’s Dallas Petroleum Club wedding reception was fun filled and beautiful! Caitlin knows what she likes and I could feel her aesthetic throughout her ballroom decor. Her florist, Bryan Long, brought her vision to life with dripping flowers from the chandeliers and large scale topiaries mixed with lower lush pieces. Along with candlelight, seating vignettes and lighting the space was warm, inviting and elegant. From the first dance to the last dance these two were so fun to capture smile, laugh and dance with their family and friends. Above for their private last dance I pulled them off the dance floor and into the middle of their ballroom so we could not only capture their extreme cuteness but the feeling of the space they created.

Caitlin & Jordan – I love you guys. Thanks for being so gracious, kind and friendly to me and my team. You made us feel important and that connection led to lots of happy tears and smiles behind my camera. Thanks for being the last of 2016 and setting the tone so well going into next year. I know God has great things for you both!

Celebration de Lamour – A French Picnic styled photo shoot with Tami Winn Events and Brides of North Texas Magazine

February 10, 2014 Publications

This tabletop shoot was one to remember! I love when planners and designers think outside the box and Tami Winn definitely did with this French inspired picnic. The low ground level tables surrounded by posh pillows were so inviting. I adored the bold striped linens, the classic gold and pops of pink. Treats were provided by the Four Seasons Resort with a ruffled cake by Creme de la Creme. This sweet picnic took place with one of my real couples, Kristy & Jared, at the Four Seasons in Dallas Spa Poll Deck. This pocket of pretty green grass, surrounded by trees created a haven for our set and lovely couple. To add to the outdoor vibe we were joined by a little frenchie, a french bulldog that is, Bruiser. Bruiser is the pup of one Dallas’ best DJ’s, Glenn Roush. Thanks to all the vendors who took part in this photo shoot and check it out in the pages of Brides of North Texas Magazine!
