This session is at the top of my list for one of the most fun-filled Dallas engagement sessions I have EVER been able to photograph. There were a lot of firsts for this Dallas Wedding Photographer! We (and by WE, I totally mean Coit and Celina) did Crossfit and then I rode backwards at lightening speeds on the swings at the State Fair of Texas for some awesome photos! I have never been so dizzy in my entire life and dangling upside, sideways and backwards while holding thousands of dollars worth of photography equipment all while laughing hysterically was crazy-stupid-fun! I have no idea how I made it off that ride without losing my lunch and my precious Canon 5d Mark 3 .. HA!
You may remember this sweet couple from their wedding proposal story at the beginning of this year. Coit told Celina he bought a Groupon for some portraits and completely threw her for a loop when it was actually a plan to get his beautiful proposal documented. We met up shortly after to talk about their wedding photography and their story. Turns out they met at a Crossfit competition and it was a huge part of their relationship. We just had to include this into our session. We met up at the gym, Wake Crossfit in Lake Dallas where they work out and I was so excited about all of the natural light streaming through the windows. After a quick change, we made a mad dash to downtown Dallas for some Texas State Fair action. Cotton candy, coupons, a fun house, the swings and some games were our main attractions. We were wrapping the shoot when we noticed some fireworks in the distance … yep, it was a magical day! I was so excited to go on this adventure with you guys and can’t wait for your wedding this next spring! I wish you both a lifetime full of love and laughter and may each day be better than the last!

Hello Amy:
Look your compositions, these are very orginal. I am an artist from San Diego who just completed a street banner which will be unveiling in Feburary.
I am an avid SCUBA diver, anything that has to do with water, i’m there! I took my underwater love and created the street banner, and thought you would enjoy following the event. Keep up the underwater scenes and if you are ever ready to hit the sea, I would love to work with you!
