Peyton and Chris said “I do” during their wedding amongst some of the greatest works our world has seen at the Dallas Museum of Art. Watching the two of them together was just AS breathtaking. Chris looks at Peyton and it makes you FEEL his love for her….really feel it! Enjoy the wedding ceremony and formals as I cook up the reception for you munch on. Again, its something HOT; you will want to come back for seconds! For those wanting to feast on the appetizer, here’s part 1

peyton + chris | WEDDING @ The DMA pt1

Peyton and Chris got married at the Dallas Museum of Art, in Dallas :D It was such a beautiful wedding. Originally scheduled for the sculpture gardens, however the October rain in Texas had other plans for them. I had been a member of the Dallas Museum of Art for a long time and have always wanted to shoot there. The first time I met with Peyton and Chris, they started to talk about how he proposed and what plans they had for their wedding. They are both architects, and had a very “planned” idea about how they envisioned their wedding. I was bursting on the inside listening to their wedding plans. From the location of the DMA to the custom tailored suits Chris and the guys would be wearing. I was so thrilled to be the photographer to tell the story of their wedding day!

So back to the rain….because the rain decided to rain on our parade, plans changed for the party, but Peyton still brought all the FIERCE to her wedding :: she is HOT! This bouquet is seriously one of the most gorgeous things :: orchids, HELLO! And Peyton’s wedding dress, could it be any more perfect for her? Oh, and the wedding rings….the rings! I don’t have words, just look for yourself. Part two of this wedding will be full of the closest ceremony pictures ever (there was NO aisle, so I was behind the officiant trying to be as discreet as possible) a mini-couple session with Peyton and Chris being so in love with each other and just more hotness! So stay tuned blog stalkers, and non-blog stalkers :: this wedding is gonna rock your socks off! A big thanks goes out to Celina and Jessi for helping me! :)

These next images were shot by Jason Anderson of JA2Photography. He was there to help me out and ended up shooting a ton of fabulous images himself. He wanted to come along to get some posing ideas for his own photography business and these girls really posed it up for us!

karen + gary | WEDDING pt2

Karen and Gary were married in Allen, Texas. We were able to share this wonderful union with the to two of them and their friends and family. Karen is a dancer and most of her bridesmaids were as well. It was sooo hard to get these girls to come out of their shell ;) (not really!) I big shout out to Jeremy for helping me out for the day. He really does well with the girls and gets them to glam it up for the camera! We then headed over for the reception at THE Southfork Ranch! Yes, folks….I said, “Southfork Ranch”. You might have heard of it before. A little sitcom was filmed there, “DALLAS”. I got to shoot Karen and Gary at Southfork! “Who shot JR”…ok, enough with the Dallas references and back to the images. This wedding was a BLAST and there was so much dancing. Have fun with these images and know we had fun making them!

andrew { BABY }

Meet Baby Andrew! This little fella is so serious and ALERT! He must have had a pot of coffee before I got there, because I couldn’t wear him out to get him to go to sleep! The last few babies I have photographed have been wide awake, so it was something I just had to work around. Both of his parents went to Texas A&M, so we had to work in the rings somehow! We put Andrew in an orange outfit at one point during the shoot and his Mom said we couldn’t have any pictures with anything Aggie until he took that color off ;) They are Aggie to the bone! On a side note: I do not specialize in families & babies, but only do them on occasion because my little guy isn’t too little anymore and they are fun to snuggle with ;)
