Elizabeth and Michael - Maple Manor Dallas Wedding

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!
