Lauren, wedding planner extraordinaire, and I met Alea and her mom at the Alice in Weddingland event at The Ryan Manor this past spring. I am so glad that we did. During their initial consultation, Emily and I learned that Alea and Loren met making “Mouse Trap Cars” in college and when they came to their engagement session with the game Mouse Trap, we knew that we were truly going to love working with them.
One of the many things wedding planners do so well is match wedding professionals with their couples based on style and personality. Sarabeth, referred Lori and Andrew to us. They are both in the hospitality industry just as I was before pursuing my passion for photography. They were engaged in London, which is a place Emily and I adore and they are super fun and very much in love and so are we.
Last fall, Emily and I hosted a wedding photography seminar where we attempted to demystify the process of finding and selecting each couple’s perfect wedding photographer. Shanika and Stephen’s wedding planner Lauren was coming and encouraged them to attend as well. Lucky for us they did and thought we were the perfect wedding photographers for them. It was such a pleasure to be a part of their historic Fort Worth YWCA wedding ceremony and reception!
Hilary was kind enough to support the Dallas Chapter of NACE’s charity efforts by purchasing a portrait session we donated to their silent auction. We spent an hour at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens with Hilary and Eddie and had such a great time capturing their love.
In Dallas, for most, fall means one thing, the return to comfortable temperatures. As a wedding photographer, fall means something else: a return to wedding season. Weekends become filled with fall inspired weddings and weekdays become packed with engagement and bridal sessions for our spring brides.
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is a favorite location of many of our couples; Jackie and Tanner are no exception. It is hard to beat over 60 acres of perfectly manicured gardens and seasonal décor.
We were introduced to Bonnie and Jeremy this summer by Rachel of Rachel Events fame. You may recall our Save-The-Date post from August 31. We are now so pleased to share their engagement session collage.
Bridal are a very popular southern tradition that is well embraced in Dallas. These are a great opportunity for us to get to know our brides better as well as capture creative and dramatic images. Part of our role as photographers is helping the bride select her location. In Meredith’s case we were torn between contemporary and traditional venues, and after much deliberation we decided there was not need to choose: both were perfect. The grounds at the Hilton Anatole provided a timeless backdrop; whereas, the rooftop at Edison’s Dallas offered the painted Dallas skyline at sunset.
Kori is the daughter of our dear friends Phil & Lisa. Cosper is the hard working cowboy that won her heart. When they approached us about photographing their wedding we were both honored and pleased to be a small part of their special day. The wedding ceremony was planned in a small family chapel at Possum Kingdom Lake with the reception to follow at her Gran and Grumps house. Little did they know that Mother Nature had a different plan.
Rain the night before and morning of the wedding rendered the outdoor venue somewhat tenuous as a reception venue so, rather than risk it, Uncle Rick and Aunt Cathy stepped up and volunteered their home as the new reception site. It is a welcome sight when a group of family and friends pull together so well with a common goal in mind.
In a matter of hours the entire reception was relocated. Granted, the bride was running a little behind when all was said and done; she was well worth the wait. Being a little late was a great excuse to use the boat that served as her transportation from the ceremony to the reception to ensure we captured sunset images of the bride and groom.
If we had an award for “Global Wedding Couple”, Anne & Scott would be our winners without question. We had the pleasure of capturing their engagement images in New York City; their ceremony images in London; and finally their reception images in Pennsylvania. What an exceptionally unique set of experiences that we will treasure always.
Our loyal blog readers most likely recall our entry about Anne and Scott’s engagement session in New York City. In that post, we shared that for as long as we have known him, Scott never seemed to do anything half way! The fact that he proposed in Paris, France and that he and Anne decided to be wed in an intimate ceremony in the Notting Hill area of London came as no surprise to us at all. What was an exceptionally pleasant surprise was being asked to travel along with them to capture all their special moments and document their time across the pond.
