Megan & Dylan – Wedding Reception at The Modern Art MuseumFort Worth, Texas

September 26, 2016 Details

The Modern Art Museum of For tWorth is always a fave spot of mine – the venue has the most gorgeous architecture and being photographed in front of world class art is kind of amazing. With an exhibit taking up the downstairs of the museum Philip, the museum guru, took me to a few spots I don’t usually get to visit including this fun lit piece above that was made for a romantic silhouette shot!

The grand hall was stunning with the grey’s of the museum against the silver and plum purples of the reception design by Tami Winn Events. Lighting by It’s your night entertainment brought depth to the space. To really escalate the bar spaces Tami Winn brought in hedge walls and bar facades. So pretty!

Megan & Dylan entered the grand hall via the cat walk above their reception and welcomed guests before sitting down to dinner. After cake and some mingling we moved the party to the cafe where the oval custom dance floor became center stage. During the first dance Megan’s Daddy some how unplugged all the lighting systems but these two kept going and we kept photographing – it was definitely one of those funny moments that will forever be a wedding day story. Megan & Dylan partied, danced, tossed bouquets & garter’s and savored every moment of their wedding reception!

I could not make all the beautiful images without the help of a fabulous vendor team, thanks to these guys for making my job easy!

Alex & Andrew Wedding Reception at City Club Fort Worth

July 2, 2014 Moments

After their St. Patricks Cathedral wedding ceremony the sweetness continued on to the reception at City Club of Fort Worth. With some fun urban shots of the couple and their party before heading to the party – I had TOO much fun at this wedding. I wish I had an hour to run around town at every wedding, it has made me fall in love with my Catholic long day weddings and the ache in my feet the next day is so very worth it! Their night was filled with lots of squeezes, kisses, crinkled up noses and dancing! Before heading out for their exit Alex slipped into a little cocktail dress to end the night in total comfort.

Thanks to the vendors who made Alex & Andrew’s Fort Worth wedding such a smashing success!

Alex & Andrew – Wedding at St Patricks Cathedral Fort Worth

July 1, 2014 Ceremony

Alex and Andrew are absolutely darling and I am so excited to finally share their wedding! They were hitched just before I headed out of town for vacation so the anticipation to share these has been building! They had an afternoon wedding at St Patrick’s Cathedral in downtown Fort Worth allowing me lots of time for photos between their ceremony and reception. With their laid back style we headed over to one of my favorite portrait locations – Van Zandt Cottage. I have never had the chance to take a bride and groom there before an fit was heaven – so glad we had the extra time to create some beautifully romantic images. These two had an emotion filled day and their cuteness level is definitely an 11! From passed notes around doors, unseen to stolen kisses at the altar I just swooned from start to finish.

Thanks to the wedding vendor team for helping make this day so phenominial!

Jamie & Oscar – Wedding at Robert Carr Chapel & The Modern Art Museum

September 30, 2013 Weddings

Jamie and Oscar and the most sincere people and it was amazing to be with them on their wedding day at Robert Carr Chapel and The Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth. Their families are lovely in every way and I spent allot of time behind my camera smiling and with moist eyes for these guys. From getting ready and Jamie’s reaction to her veil and Oscar’s face as she walked down the aisle to him it was just perfection. Their ceremony was officiated by Love Notes my favorite minister team. The Modern was the perfect backdrop for their reception as Oscar is an art history buff and it is simply one of the most beautiful places in the world to have your wedding. The reception was perfected with William Ryan of It’s Your Night Entertainment lighting and music and of course scrumptious cakes from The Cake Guys. Read on for more of their day, their moments and of course the FUN they had! Here is a glimpse further into their day with their highlight reel:

LOVED Jamie’s reaction to her veil, so sweet! I think the veil makes every girl feel like it is REAL!

A few day of bridal portraits for this stunning girl.

Love this one, so serene and pretty!

Best Man and Brother ready with the rings!

Pre – Ceremony Prayer time.

This adorable ring bearer out ran the bridesmaids he was so eager to get his job over with.

Now that is the face of one happy guy looking at his beautiful wife to be.

Married!

This gang was silly and FUN! (see below)

And NOW…..photos in the galleries at The Modern – the very coolest backdrop you can ever have for your wedding portraits.

This new installation is super cool and it has a very BLUE effect making this image look allot like a cyanotype (for the photo nerds out there.)

A sweet welcome to his guests and his bride.

Did I mention fun? Yeah, Jamie’s Dad and Brother knew how to cut a rug and get us all laughing.

Congrats you two! I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Haley & Rusty – Robert Carr Chapel Wedding with an Ashton Depot Reception

July 3, 2013 Ceremony

Rusty and Haley were married over the weekend with a stunning wedding at Robert Carr Chapel. We joined up with Haley and her ladies at Halo Salon off Camp Bowie for some beautification before hand. Haley’s hair was stunning and was styled by Rachel, I just love her! At the chapel we slipped into gowns while the gentlemen fussed with their ties before walking down the aisle. After saying their vows and some romantic portraits outside of the church we headed over to The Ashton Depot. The Depot is one of my favorite Fort Worth venues for their superb service, yummy food and the amazing architecture. William Ryan kept the dance floor full and the party going as this couple mingled with their guests and hit the floor for some dancing. It was so much fun sharing their day with them and I can’t wait to see them again soon. Congrats you two!
