Brandy and Aaron are pretty stinking cool - These guys found me all the way from south Texas and liked my work so much that they wanted to bring me down south for a Gulf Coast wedding. We talked on the phone a lot, they came up to visit for an engagement session, and finally I got to head down south for the wedding itself. The wedding was so light and fun. They rank towards to the absolute top on laid back couples. They really trusted me with anything and gave me total creative control. It was an absolute delight getting to be apart of your wedding guys - Here is a quick preview and I hope you guys are having a blast being married!

Amanda was a bridesmaid at Brielle and Will’s wedding in Denton Texas, and now that she is engaged I was excited to hear she wanted us to be a part of her wedding as well. Amanda and Lee met me out in the very cold weather on Flag Pole Hill, and while it may have been a bit chilly we made sure they kept each other warm. I’m excited for their wedding later this year, but for now I’m super pumped to show you these pictures

Kelly and Sam chose to have their wedding at the ultra beautiful First United Methodist in Fort Worth and then their reception at Van Cliburn Hall at the Bass Hall in Downtown Ft. Worth Texas. I loved hanging out with these guys during the engagement session and then got a chance to meet the rest of Kelly’s family during her bridal session - Everyone was great to be around, so welcoming. We had fantastic light for much of the early afternoon and I think it really added a punch to a lot of the photos. Once at the reception we were treated to Trey and the Tritones. I was really impressed with their variety as well as how well the kept the crowd on the dance floor!
As usual here are just a few of my many favorites from the day

Elizabeth and Michael picked Maple Manor hotel, a small quiet hotel attached to The Old Warsaw which is nestled between huge buildings just north of Downtown Dallas. I always like shooting at Maple Manor because it seems like you are more removed from the city, but just one look up and you see you are right in the middle of town. Elizabeth and Michael’s wedding was different than a lot of the weddings I shot this year. Both were bringing children with them into the marriage, and because of this the whole process felt like family was really important. When I meet with couples I usually talk about how my biggest priority is to show relationships in my pictures, and for these guys that was really important. We included the kids in the engagement portraits, they were included in the wedding party, they stood at their parents feet during the toasts, and they danced with them all night during the reception. Clearly Michael and Elizabeth were the rock-stars, but I like it when family and friends have a big role in the day.
Guys it was great getting to know you through this whole process - I wish you the very best!

Jessica and Bill had their ceremony at the Saint Christopher Episcopal Church in Ft. Worth and then their reception in their beautiful backyard in Southlake Texas. They really spent a lot of time and energy making their wedding everything they wanted and it really showed. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the day.
