stephanie + lee | WEDDING pt2

THUMBS UP EVERYONE!

Here is part2 of Lee + Stephanie’s wedding (part1 is HERE). We were at a few places for pictures on their wedding day, so be sure to stop by the blog to see part3, its another location as well! Our first stop was Carrollton First Baptist Church to get them married, then we went over to the Family Center at the Church to have a reception, THEN we were able to go to the Las Colinas Canals on the way to the reception to take some fun bridal party pictures! THIS WAS THE HOTTEST DAY IN AUGUST, but everyone still looks gorgeous. I was a hot mess behind the camera, but nobody was taking pictures of me except for Andrew ;) . Enjoy these fabulous images and please remember to give these folks so blog love, ’cause they ROCK!!!

collin + logan | BROTHERS

A few weeks ago I got to spend the morning with these two brothers, Collin + Logan. I was so sad when their family moved away from us, but am so happy we still get to keep in touch and I still get called to document their milestones!!! Colin just turned 4 and Logan just turned ONE! These two boys are adorable. Enjoy the pumpkins and Happy Halloween everyone!

brandi + holman | eSESSION

For those of you stalking my blog looking for your sneak peeks….they are on the way! This week is going to be crazy blog post week ;)

We started their session at the Dallas Arboretum and then hit two spots they made it to on their first date. The lamp post in the last image just makes me all mushy when I look at it. I was privy to a little bit of the story behind it. Brandi and Holman are so in love and it is written all over them! I seriously got goosebumps hearing their story. I might have cried a little bit too! I am a sucker for lovey-dovey sappy stories :) I have to make sure to keep it together for their wedding this weekend. I need to be able to see the images I am taking! Brandi has THE MOST CONTAGIOUS SMILE! I just cant help but smile when I look at these images. Please enjoy and as always, I would just love to know you stopped by, so leave some blog love in the form of a comment ;)

stephanie + lee | WEDDING pt1

Let’s get lee + stephanie married. I just received a notification on Twitter that Stephanie was about to look at the CD with all their wedding images! Whoooohoooo…now, she gets to be on the blog!

I talked about Stephanie’s eyes dancing when I was editing her bridals, but you should have seen them on her wedding day. She was glowing all over. I could tell Stephanie and Lee have a very deep love for one another and it filled every room they were in. Enjoy these images and stay tuned for the rest of their wedding.  It was the first time for a few things with this one; including a separate location to take formals with over an hour to play! Also, I must say my appreciation for my second shooters certainly grew stronger with this wedding. I was all by my lonesome for this event. Be sure to leave some blog love…I am a sucker for comments ;)

mallory | BABY

I love shooting babies….with my camera! The joys of being a parent are over-whelming when you get to experience seeing your little one grow up. Turning one is a HUGE deal! I wish I could bottle up all the things I experience with my little fella, thank goodness I have pictures to look back on all the milestones. Enjoy this little gem, Mallory! Her mom, works at Old Red Courthouse in Downtown Dallas, so we were able to go play there for her one year portraits.

In an effort to make your family sessions as gorgeous as possible, we decided to move to a less crowded location. We hope you will join us on 10-17 for your rockin’ family session! We only have FOUR spots left!!!

tamra + tyler | DAY AFTER

Today was supposed to be a fun Day After Session at the Fair, but alas the rain rained on our parade! We improvised by shooting at Mockingbird Station and drawing quite the crowd at times. I had so much fun meeting all of you and cant wait to see some of your fun images! Thanks again, Tamra and Tyler (& Sophie!) for being rockstars!!!

kiley + matthew | WEDDING pt3

You met kiley + matthew a few posts back (part1 & part2) now let’s get this party started!

So You Think You Can Dance? It really is not every day I get to witness break-dancing at a wedding reception and these awesome details! So much thought went into this gorgeous wedding. Just check out these cakes! Kiley surprised Matthew with a cake that reminded him a little of “Home”! They had a photobooth and yes, we did partake, but you wont see that one hit the blog ;) . For the first dance, traditional was not their style and they started boogieing right away. Just for future reference, generally the people with the point-and-shoot cameras at your wedding flashing their cameras while we are taking your picture is a bad thing, but I am digging the shot John caught of them during their first dance with the random flash in the background. Thanks random guest with the perfect timing to make that awesome shot! The girls delivered a hilarious speech. Everyone was hysterically laughing, “Butta-who?”. You guys really know how to throw a party! A huge thank you to John Livas for shooting with me! Enjoy this set of images and as always, leave some blog love….I would love to hear from you!

Congratulations Kiley + Matthew!
