Alyson and Josh were married last weekend at The Omni in Fort Worth. When I arrived, Alyson was preparing to write her note to Josh. It was an incredibly moving moment as she began to express her feelings to her future husband about their wedding and their life together. Alyson’s father had recently passed and she mentioned how she was so glad that her dad was able to meet Josh and how alike they were. She was also given a garter made out of one her dad’s ties by her step-mother, so that her dad could be there to walk her down the aisle. It was an emotional time for everyone in the room as her step-mother placed the garter on her leg. I can’t even express how much I love getting to photograph priceless moments like these. It’s what I love most about my job! After all the tears and emotion, Alyson was ready to walk down the aisle. Her brother walked her down while I know her daddy was there with her in spirit. She was joined at the altar by her mom and step-mother as they gave her away. It was such a sweet ceremony filled with both tears and laughter. Once the ceremony ended it was time to party. The ballroom was decorated with beautiful white floral arrangements with delicate gold leaf accents, by Kelly Norvell of Bridal Blooms, that just popped against the purple and blue lighting on the walls. Alyson and Josh were loving catching up with all of their family and friends that they hadn’t seen in a while and who don’t get to get together very often. I know everyone loved getting to spend time with the bride and groom and celebrating with them. They ended the evening with a private last dance where they were completely wrapped up in each other and then headed down the escalator to say their farewells to all of their guests. Congratulations Alyson and Josh! Please enjoy some of my favorite images from their Omni Fort Worth Wedding.

Alyson’s step-mother made her a garter out of one of her father’s ties, so that he could “walk her down the aisle”. It was a very special and emotional moment putting the garter on.
