Hanah and Colten at Aristide Flower Mound

Who is ready to see a full wedding day?!?! Here are some of my favorites from Hanah and Colten’s wedding at Aristide in Flower mound, TX! I just delivered their wedding album and have been dying to share the finished images from this gorgeous wedding! They booked me after we met at a bridal show, where Hanah was the winner of my Bridal portrait giveaway! We did Hanah’s bridal portrait at the venue the week before the wedding, giving me an opportunity to think of some great ways to use the space for photos on the wedding day. I love it when I get a chance to take portraits at a wedding venue before shooting a wedding there. It really helps me to get to know the space, and find the best spots to come back to on the actual wedding day. During the reception I was able to step away from the party and set up a twilight portrait with the bride and groom in the chapel. I held a strand of wired twinkle lights, that I had shaped into a circle, right in front of my camera lens to get the bokeh effect. It’s one of my favorite camera tricks, and I use it often! scroll through all the way to the end to see the final result! It works best with an 85-100 mm prime lens. Its tough on the biceps to hold my camera and focus through blurry lights with one hand, but well worth it in the end!

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....

Alexis and Amy's Fort Worth Wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous wedding for George Street Photo And Video last spring.  Alexis and Amy were so much fun to work with.  The wedding and reception were at the outdoor venue space at The Worthington Renaissance hotel in Fort Worth, TX.   The venue was gorgeous and I had a blast taking their entire bridal party out to Sundance Square for photos after the wedding ceremony! Everything about this wedding was gorgeous right down to the last detail.  My favorite thing about the day was learning that most of the ladies in the bridal party were also couples!  It made for a fun day, full of love...

Since my least favorite part about writing a blog, is having to write a blog, I will let the photos tell their story:  

Lee-Taylor and Riley's Black Tie Wedding

Lee-Taylor and Riley were married on a gorgeous January day in Fort Worth, TX.  Their wedding was amazing!  The wedding ceremony took place at University Christian Church by the TCU Campus.  I have photographed several weddings at this church and I always love it.  They have very particular guidelines for wedding photographers. We are instructed to shoot the entire ceremony from the back balcony which seems to discourage some, but if you come here prepared with a long and fast lens, you can capture some amazing vantage points from that balcony!  It is absolutely breathtaking.   My favorite thing about photographing this wedding was how snazzy everyone looked!  It was black tie and these wedding guests BROUGHT it!!  Everyone looked so glamorous.  It sure did make my job easy!  The reception was held at River Crest Country Club in Fort Worth, TX.  As soon as the bride and groom entered, the party was on!  Live band, delicious food, and a ton of fun guests dancing the night away!  The groom even got on stage and did 2 numbers with the band.  It was pretty epic!  At the bottom of the post, I have included a digital copy of the wedding album so you can see how the images all came together to tell the story of their special day.

Ryan and Kara's Wedding sneak peek!

I love it when I get to photograph a friend's wedding!  I have known Ryan since High School and I was so excited when he and Kara asked me to capture their big day!  Ryan and Kara had the perfect wedding day at Times Ten Cellars in Fort Worth, TX!  (what a great venue and the food was amazing)  The Photo Van was there to entertain the guests at the reception and Linda McEwan (The Flower Lady) made some of the most gorgeous flower arrangements that looked absolutely stunning in this venue!  Thank you to Kara and Ryan for asking me to capture your wedding day memories, I loved every minute of it.  Congrats on wedded bliss and I hope you enjoy this preview of your wedding images!
