Stephanie & Robert are some of our past wedding clients who came back for us for their family portraits this fall. Being a huge dog person myself I love that they wanted to include their dogs Rivers and Haskell in the family portraits. They decided to have them done at Cedar Hill State park which is an amazing park where Robert works. Here are some of my favorites from their family session.

I am so excited to share these photos from Sarah and Aaron’s engagement session. They had wanted a country and city look for their session and that is one thing that I love about being in Fort Worth. We have so many great places to go to with in short driving distance. We started the session at Van Zandt Cottage which happened to be right by Casa Manana where Aaron proposed to Sarah. We then went to downtown Fort Worth and walked around. They had other family members take their photographs with an umbrella with the letter P for their last name and I loved that they decided to carry on the tradition. Here are some of my favorites from their Fort Worth engagement session.

Andrea and Adam had such a sweet and happy ceremony at the YWCA in downtown Fort Worth.  I loved Andrea and Adam’s wedding because they decided to make it very unique to them and not follow the traditional rules. Andrea and Adam chose to see each other prior to the ceremony and I just loved their reactions upon seeing each other. Andrea also decided not to have bridesmaids and instead had bridesmen so the entire bridal party was men. During the reception I loved how Andrea and Adam could not seem to get enough of each other and I always caught them sneaking kisses.  Here are some of my favorites from their downtown Fort Worth wedding.

I am so excited to be heading out of town this weekend to Nashville for my best friends wedding where I will be on the other side of the camera as a bridesmaid. October has been a very busy month for us and I have been photographing like crazy. I wanted to share some sneak peeks of engagement and family sessions I shot this month as well as some photos of the amazing wedding I did at the YWCA this past Saturday! I can’t wait to share more from these sessions in the upcoming weeks.

 Ashton and Cameron got married in an intimate backyard ceremony out in Lorena, TX. Ashton and Cameron are big animal lovers so they wanted to incorporate as many animals as they could into their day. I saw a first as Ashton rode in on horseback and their dog Pistol was their ring bearer. Pistol made sure he was in as many photos as possible. Ashton and Cameron chose to do a first look which is on of my favorite things. It was a windy day and threatened rain briefly but it held off until the next morning. I loved how Cameron would always gently move the hair out of Ashton’s face and would always have his hand on her back as they walked around speaking with their guests. Here are some of my favorites from their country wedding.

I had such a blast haning out with Andrea and Gahrett and their Fort Worth engagement session. Gahrett works in real estate so they wanted to incorporate some of the classic buildings in Fort Worth in their session as well as with their classic car. Andrea and Gahrett met on eharmony and instantly hit it off so we had to do some of their session in the eharmony t shirts.  I love how goofy and silly they are and how much they just love to laugh with each other. Here are some of my favorites.

We are so excited to announce the newest addition to the Tracy Autem & Lightly Photography Family. Gideon Matthew was born October 13 at 8:02 am . He weighed 9lbs and 3 oz and is 20.5 inches. I was so blessed to be there when Tracy and her husband got to hold their precious baby boy for the very first time and I wanted to share some of those images. Of course I couldn’t help but cry as I experienced their joy with them. We all truly are a family.

Last month we celebrated with the Cendera Center at their Opening Party. The theme was Cirque Du Cendera, which allowed for a lot of Circus fun! We are so excited for their new space, and for our friend Amy Shackelford who has started her new role as the Events Manager. Here are a few of our favorites from the night.

I am so excited to share these photos from Claire & Brent’s wedding at The Village Church in Dallas with the reception at Brent’s mom’s house in Frisco.  Claire & Brent are so sweet and loving towards each other and I was so privileged to get to be a part of their day. As I edited their photos this past week I couldn’t help but tear up at the look of love and pride on their families faces as they watched Claire and Brent throughout the day. Here are some of my favorites from their Dallas wedding.

 Kimberly & Andy recently got married in an intimate ceremony at the Fort Worth Stockyards! The Stockyards has played a big part in Kimberly and Andy’s relationship as it was where they got engaged. I love that they chose to do a private first look which allowed Kimberly and Andy to have time by themselves and for Andy to present Kimberly with a beautiful bracelet. Doing a first look is one of my favorite things since it allows the couple some private time on their wedding day as well as they get to the reception quicker and can party with their guest for longer. Kimberly and Andy had an amazing country band the Blaine Gray Band play their reception. The band also had been a part of Kimberly and Andy’s relationship as they frequently went out and danced to their music.   Here are some of my favorites from their Fort Worth Wedding.
