Mallory and Ryan were married at the Dallas Museum of Art and had a beautiful DMA Wedding. Check out their super cute Dallas engagement session. They started off the wedding festivities with their rehearsal at the DMA followed by a dinner at Stephen Pyles’ restaurant just a block from the Museum. We celebrated with them as they rehearsed what was to be a phenomenal wedding. The restaurant had a special menu for Ryan and Mallory for all in attendance. Look closely for that special touch. That Friday morning, Mallory and her bridesmaids were getting ready the gorgeous historical Fairmont Hotel in Dallas and I arrived to the room to find all smiles and excitement. Mallory had her Kate Spade shoes lying on the bed and her Monique Lhuillier dress hanging near the hotel room window. I am pretty sure my heart skipped a beat when I saw it. I have never seen such a unique wedding gown and the beading was incredible. After the girls were dressed, we darted off to the Museum for some fun girls only pictures in the Sculpture Gardens. Ryan and his groomsmen arrived shortly after and we worked the lights for some dramatic guy formals.
During the ceremony, Mallory’s father walked her down the stairs to the corridor and they made a grand entrance. The ceremony was beautiful. The officiant described the couple’s love for one another and their mutual love for arts. It is no surprise to me after hearing this why they chose that venue to say forever to each other. There was a floral focus around the couple to mimic the beautiful Chihuly glass exhibit lining the large glass windows in the atrium of the DMA. Mami and her team at Botantical Art are truly artisans. I have NEVER seen such unique floral design in my years of photographing weddings. They were some of the best florals I have ever seen! Enough describing this fantastic wedding….feast your eyes on these goodies.
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!
