Keshia & Jason {Married} at St. Partick’s Cathedral & Petroleum Club

I loved how expressive Keshia and Jason were this past weekend with each other during their wedding at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Petroleum Club.  From the minute I walked into the hotel room where Keshia was getting ready you feel the love and tell the great lengths their family and friends went to take care of them. This included taking an ill groomsmen to the hospital the night before as well as two bridesmaids jumping out of the car and running through downtown Fort Worth during Main St. Arts Festival to get the veil left behind at the hotel. Through all this Keshia and Jason kept smiling and once the reception started they kept each other laughing the whole time.  The day was completed by the coordination of Lucia Bitner of Foster Blue along with florals by Signature Production. The reception was kept rocking with Randy Ro Entertainment and they had fabulous cakes by Creme de la Creme.   Here are some of my favorites from their Fort Worth wedding.

Love how excited Keshia looks as she walks closer to her groom and how Jason is biting his lips in anticipation as she walks closer.

Keshia {Bridal Portraits} at Howell Family Farms

Lightly_Photography_by_Sarah_Rizy_Bridal_Portrait_at_Howell_Family_FarmsI have been so excited to show the bridal portraits I took of Keshia last month at an amazing country location in Arlington called Howell Family Farms. Keshia looked beautiful in her dress from De Ma Fille against the backdrop of the cottage and beautiful barn. Here are some of my favorites from her bridal portrait session.

Melissa & Josh {Engaged} at Fort Worth Public Library and Botanic Gardens

Melissa_and_Josh_Fort_Worth_Public_Library_Botanic_Gardens_Engagements_Amanda_McCollum_Lightly_PhotographyI am so excited to share these photos of Melissa and Josh.   They really enjoy reading and Melissa loves to write as well, so naturally the Fort Worth Public Library was a perfect place for them.  They were so cute as they read random books to each other and Melissa tried to teach Josh a few things on the piano that we found upstairs at the library.   We had such a great time during their session and they were cracking me up the whole time.  Melissa and Josh will be getting married in Houston, where Melissa’s family is, in August.  I am so glad that I had the opportunity to shoot this amazing couple’s engagement photos.  Please enjoy some of my favorite images from their engagement session.

Hailey 6 year old {Portraits} at Urban Walls and Van Zandt Cottage Ft. Worth

Lightly Photography, Children, Portraits, Urban Walls, Girl, Van Zandt Cottage, Ft. Worth

Hailey was such a little cutie. From her little dresses and her cowboy boots with pigtails to her big blue eyes. She turned 6 years old recently and so her momma, Cara wanted to get a few pictures of this sweet little girl. She definitely had a huge personality and loved to dance, so of course we had to capture that! Her auntie Adrianne from Turquoise Productions also tagged along for the fun. We went to Van Zandt Cottage and some bright colored walls by our studio. Here are a few of my favorites from her session.

MK & Charlie {Engaged} at Van Zandt Cottage and Urban Walls!

 

Lightly_Photography_by_Sarah_Rizy_Fort_Worth_Engagement_Van_Zandt_Cottage_Urban_Walls

I loved getting to photograph MK & Charlie last week.  We had already rescheduled their session once because of the rain and when the tornadoes hit the metroplex on Tuesday we worried we would have to reschedule again. However the sky cleared and gave us a beautiful day on Wednesday.  MK & Charlie wanted a rustic and urban feel for their photos. We started a Van Zandt Cottage which is one of my favorite places in the city. We then went to some urban walls near by our studio. I loved the scrabble pieces they brought along with them which we used playing  around with spelling a few different words.  Here are some of my favorites from their Fort Worth engagement session.
