Andi's Bridal Portraits at Sky Creek Ranch
If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, find one that doesn’t mind getting rained out! I have been rained out twice at Sky Creek Ranch, in Keller, TX and I don’t mind one single bit! Photographing indoors allows me to have much more control over the final results. I am definitely a control freak when it comes to light and this bridal portrait session is a great example of that!
Katie's Bridal Portraits at the Windsor at Hebron Park
I love a good bridal portrait! Especially at a gorgeous wedding venue like the Windsor at Hebron Park. In my opinion, the venue is always the best option for the bridal portraits. Its a great way to fully utilize your venue for photos! There are so many spaces and great photo spots that are just not accessible for portraits on the wedding day.

Dan and Ashley's Heritage Village Wedding
You should all know by now that I love sharing work that I do for friends! Dan and Ashley are our former neighbors, turned great friends. Ashley also assists me on weddings, when I need help, and has become a very dear friend to me through the years. When they got engaged in Ireland, I knew that I would be hearing from them about photographing their wedding. We invited them over for dinner for our consultation and we discussed all the details of their wedding day. I was able to give them some advise and help calm some fears of the “what ifs” but I knew through the whole process that Ashley was destined to worry about what could go wrong. I feel it’s important to tell you this, because a lot of bride’s go through this wedding anxiety. It can definitely be overwhelming as you try to navigate the process of planning a wedding for the first and only time. As a seasoned wedding professional, I make every effort to help with this process since I have so much experience with other vendors and planning the timeline to fit everything in, so you get the best out of your wedding photographs. I proceeded to assist Ashley by referring her to some of my favorite vendors including Linda “the flower lady” McEwan, and Lance Patton of My DFW DJ. With the dream team set up for success, and a decent weather report the week of, we figured it was going to be smooth sailing and everything would turn out alright. Fast forward to the rehearsal and long story short, I became violently ill upon arriving at the rehearsal dinner and had to leave before we were even seated! Let me tell you, I was beyond stressed about how I was going to make it through an entire wedding day when I could barely get up off the bathroom floor, but somehow I rallied and was able to run on adrenaline and Gatorade and get the job done. I guess I was over compensating, because I totally nailed it! I mean, nature had something to do with it, but our meticulous planning to avoid the “what ifs”, was what I credit to the amazing lighting we had for just about every important moment. Even though I felt like I might fall over or vomit at any moment, I was living the dream and I felt like I was on FIRE throughout this entire wedding day! It’s days like this that really remind me why I do what I do. I abso-freaking-lutely LOVE weddings! Especially when the stars align like they did on this day. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed creating them for two of my favorite people on this earth! Congrats to Dan and Ashley! Now bring on the babies!
Matt and Aubrey's Downtown Dallas Wedding
Last fall, before I had my baby boy, I was honored to photograph Matt and Aubrey's wedding day at the Magnolia Hotel in downtown Dallas. My husband was a groomsmen and also my luggage handler for the day, since I was VERY pregnant at that point. The reception was in the newly renovated Pegasus Room across the street from the Magnolia Hotel, in the Power and Light building. The chandelier is my current favorite thing in Dallas! They did an incredible job on this venue. It is is simply stunning and photographs like a dream! I was fortunate enough to have my good friend and colleague, Pam Peck as my associate photographer on this wedding and have included some of her amazing images in this gallery. Enjoy!
Tori and Brandon's Fort Worth Wedding
I had the pleasure of capturing the wedding day of Tori and Brandon last fall. I met the couple because Tori's grandparents are friends of my parents and have known me since I was about 10 years old. I was so excited to be chosen to capture their wedding day! The wedding ceremony was at one of my favorite chapels in Fort Worth, The Marty Leonard Chapel. I love the architecture on the inside and the front doors are gorgeous! The Reception was at the Golf Club at Fossil Creek. The rustic chandeliers in the reception venue were stunning alongside the flower arrangements on the head table. I am a big fan of colorful wedding flowers and these did not disappoint! Check out all the other gorgeous details of this stylish Fort Worth wedding....
