John And Amy's Frisco Heritage Center Wedding

I know it's been a while since I have posted a blog, but I am back!  I have been busy shooting weddings almost every weekend this summer and am thrilled to be so busy, but it has left me with little time for blogging.  One of the many wonderful weddings I was tasked to capture this summer was Amy and John's wedding at Frisco Heritage Center in Frisco, TX.  I met Amy and John through a mutual friend when he referred them to me for their wedding photography.  We met and discussed their wedding day and I learned that this wedding was more than just 2 people coming together in love, it was about a great big family coming together through marriage.  Both John and Amy had children of their own who were going to be their wedding party!  Coming from a blended family myself, this made me very excited to be a part of this beautiful wedding!  Once the wedding day was upon us, I quickly realized that no one was more excited about this day than the bride and groom.  John and Amy were absolutely giddy with love and excitement for their marriage and it was very easy to photograph such happy people!  They really made my job so easy and I loved every moment of their wedding day.  Have a look for yourself and be sure to let me know what you think in the comments!

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:  

Lauren and Justus's Austin, TX Wedding

Lauren and Justus got married last October just off of Lake Austin at a gorgeous wedding venue, owned by the Contemporary Austin, called Laguna Gloria.  Austin Wedding Planners (austinweddingplanners.com) did an amazing job planning this wedding and kept the day flowing very smoothly.  Rosa and her team were so much fun to work with, I genuinely hope I have an opportunity to work with them again some day!  The Flowers were by Exquisite Petals, and were absolutely stunning.  Judge Jan Breland Married them in front of a beautiful flowing fountain on the steps if Laguna Gloria's back patio, overlooking the sunset on Lake Austin.  A wonderful buffet dinner was provided by Austin Catering, and Michelle's Patisserie created an amazingly delicious traditional white cake for dessert.  The couple danced their first dance to "Harvest Moon" By Pearl Jam, and the DJ, Chris Stoffell, played a great variety of the couple's favorites mixed with lots of crowd favorites, keeping the party going til the very end! The tent that housed the  Dance floor was provided by Marquee Tents, and the lighting was provided by ILIOS Lighting Design.  Congrats to Lauren and Justus!

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!

Stephanie and Kyle's Hollow Hill Farm Wedding

As I was completing the wedding album for Stephanie and Kyle, I came to realize that I never blogged about this super cute barn house wedding!  So here we are, 10 months after the I do's and I am reminiscing about the Texas summers!  It can be really hard as a bride to pose outdoors in a wedding dress in 100 degrees, but Stephanie was out there twirling away happy as can be, while I captured what appears to be true wedding-day-bridal-bliss!  Hollow Hill Farms was a great rustic wedding venue.  Their staff was so friendly.  Not to mention the fact that they are perfectly set-up for The Photo Van! Stephanie booked The Photo Van as part of her wedding package with me. It was a perfect set- up for it and all the guests loved having the coolest photo booth ever at the reception.  I really enjoyed capturing this day for Stephanie and Kyle.  Thank you for trusting me with your memories of your wedding day, it was honor to be a part of it.  I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

Sabrenah and Aaron's Fort Worth Wedding

 Sabrenah and Aaron got married last November at Art space 111 in Fort Worth, Texas.  What a cool venue!  I really enjoyed working with them and knew from our first consultation that their wedding was  probably going to be the funkiest, vintage inspired, foodie wedding I have ever witnessed and I was right!  Their wedding day was absolutely one of my all time favorite weddings ever! I knew right away that these two lovebirds were meant for each other.  They are both so creative and I think their wedding was a true testament to their style and taste.    It's better that you just go look at the photos because words can't even begin to describe it.  I will tell you one thing, my favorite part was when the Bride and Groom grabbed the mic at the reception and sang (incredibly well, I might add)  "That's all I ask of you" from The Phantom of the Opera.  And they were GOOD!  It was a really cool moment and completely unplanned.  Take a look for yourself at this wonderful day:

Lee-Taylor and Riley: an engagement session at White Rock Lake

Who doesn't love a sun-drenched fall afternoon???  Hanging out with Riley and Lee-Taylor on a sunny afternoon by the lake, I was happy to realize that this gorgeous couple photographs like they just walked out of a Ralph Lauren ad!  I just love my job!  Enjoy this beautiful sunset shoot by the lake:
