shannon + brian | Fifty-Five Engagement Frames from Fort Worth Stockyards

July 11, 2010 By 4 Comments

Joe T Garcia’s. Fort Worth Stockyards. Fort Worth Modern Museum of Art. Shannon. Brian.

Shannon from Something-You worked a marathon bridal session the day before with me. We had so many great ideas for locations, but the one I was super stoked about was Joe T Garcia’s. I had been there once and remembered thinking, as I was sipping on a frozen margarita, “I would love to shoot here some day!” Shannon said, “I can get us a pass to shoot there…” seriously? I had a tough time narrowing this blog post down, so I didn’t…enjoy! :)

We are back! We had a wonderful time in Galveston with our family for our annual reunion. Sammy was able to go on the beach for the first time….as you can see from this image, he hated it :) If you received an automated response from me while we were away, I will be working feverishly to respond to all of your wedding inquiries and client questions/requests. Happy Summer Time to you all!

amanda + nathan’s wedding sneak peek! | HICKORY ST ANNEX AND DEEP ELLUM WEDDING PORTRAITS IN DALLAS

July 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

These two could not have glowed any more on their wedding day. I was incredibly touched by the love they have for each other. Imagine our excitement when we read on the wedding day timeline we would have 3 hours after their ceremony for wedding day portraits! So we filled that time with some fun in Downtown Dallas and around their wedding venue, Hickory Street Annex. Nathan drove us around (3 photographers) and his new bride as we hunted for great light and backdrops in Deep Ellum. It was a fun time! The wedding was gorgeous, so stay tuned for their full wedding day posts :)
