Lisa and John – Wedding ReceptionCity Club - Fort Worth, TX

November 4, 2016 Amanda McCollum

After the ceremony we headed over to City Club for the reception that was held in the beautiful Oak Room. The room was beautifully lit accenting the gorgeous centerpieces by Bridal Blooms with a stunning view of Downtown Fort Worth. It was the perfect backdrop and atmosphere for their celebration! Lisa and John danced the night away with their friends and family and you could tell they were having the time of their lives! I think I may have learned a few new dance moves from some of the bridesmaids! It truly was a magical night that ended with Lisa and John holding each other during a private dance before their send off. They were sent off to begin their new life together through a tunnel of flutter-fetti and drove away in a horse and carriage. It was such a great day and I couldn’t be happier that I was able to share it with this beautiful couple and their wonderful family. Congratulations to Lisa and John!

November 3, 2016 Amanda McCollum

I am so excited to share Lisa and John’s wedding photos! I’ve been looking forward to their day all year and I can’t believe it’s come and gone so fast. It’s been such a fun journey photographing them from their engagements, to Lisa’s bridals and now their big day! We began the day with the girls over at the Worthington while they got their hair and makeup done. Lisa has so many wonderfully sweet girls in her life and I loved getting to be up in the room and hang out with them. Once we got Lisa dressed, it was time to head over to Robert Carr and let her and John see each other for the first time. One thing I really love about Lisa and John is their smiles. They smile all the time and it’s contagious! I’m sure their faces hurt at the end of the day because I sure know that mine did. Please take a look at some of my very favorite images from their first look and ceremony and be sure to check back for photos of their reception!

Kayla and Brian – Wedding ReceptionStockyards Station - Fort Worth, TX

October 13, 2016 Amanda McCollum

After the ceremony, everyone headed across the hall to the reception. Kayla and Brian shared their first dance and then it was time to party! All of the wedding party was having a blast out on the dance floor. I don’t think there was a time that I didn’t see at least one or two of them out there dancing like nobody was watching. I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to photograph Kayla and Brian and their friends and family on their special day. Congratulations you two!

Kayla and Brian – First Look and Wedding CeremonyFort Worth Stockyards

October 12, 2016 Amanda McCollum

Kayla and Brian are married! We had a pretty chill morning getting ready at the Hyatt in the Stockyards. I think everything became real as soon as Kayla and Brian saw each other for the first time before the ceremony. Kayla is so tender-hearted and could not hold back her tears of joy as she saw Brian turn around. The emotions flowed all the way into the ceremony and it was so sweet to see the happiness between the two of them and you could hear in their vows just how much they mean to one another. That is one thing I love most about my job. It truly brings me joy to see couples express their love to each other with such overwhelming emotion. Check back soon for more photos from their Stockyards reception!

Stephanie and Ben – Wedding CeremonyRobert Carr Chapel at TCU - Fort Worth, TX

October 1, 2016 Amanda McCollum

Oh how I love this couple! Stephanie and Ben are so perfect together and I have loved getting to know them. They were married at Robert Carr Chapel at TCU and held their reception at The Modern Art Museum. We spent time at Stephanie and Ben’s home to get ready. We had so much fun hanging out with Stephanie and her bridesmaids. They practiced a dance to the song “Closer” that they wanted to do later at the reception and I now can’t hear that song without thinking of them! It makes me happy every time I hear it. When we arrived at the chapel, Stephanie’s grandmothers came in to see her and they were so happy to see how beautiful Stephanie looked in her dress. Stephanie also had her grandfather’s wedding ring tied to her bouquet and that was such a special gesture to her grandmother. I love how close their whole family is. Before the ceremony they wanted to exchange notes but did not want to see each other, so they exchanged notes around a door. I love how Stephanie was moved to tears by Ben’s words to her. It always makes me so happy when you can feel the love in the room and you could really feel it all day long from getting ready all the way to the exit. Please enjoy some of my favorite photos from their Robert Carr ceremony.

Bryanna & Charles-Wedding CeremonyCeremony at Fort Worth Botanic Gardens

July 12, 2016 Ceremony

I just absolutely adored Bryanna & Charles wedding day. They had one of my favorite around the corner note exchanges I have ever seen. They both teared up as they read each other’s letters and when Bryanna opened her gift from Charles the tears really started to flow. They kept saying how they wanted to kiss each other from around the corner so at their ceremony they couldn’t wait and right as Bryanna and Charles had joined arms they immediately went into the that kiss. Here are some of my favorites from the first part of their day.

Jenny & Spencer – Wedding Reception at The Omni Hotel Fort Worth

April 5, 2016 Amanda McCollum

After the ceremony it was time to party! The reception looked awesome and was reminded me a little bit of the movie “UP” with all of the travel and adventure themed details. There was even a Indiana Jones themed groom’s cake made by the talented crew over at Creme de la Creme! Once they concluded their first dance as husband and wife, Jenny’s dad gave a beautiful speech that brought his daughter to tears. It was a touching moment as he told how they met and expressed how glad he was to be adding Spencer to their family. You could definitely sense the closeness that Jenny and Spencer have with their friends and family. They spent a lot of the evening enjoying the company of all of their guests that had traveled to share their special day with them. It was truly a wonderful night. Congratulations Jenny and Spencer!

Jenny and Spencer – Wedding Ceremony at The Omni Hotel Fort Worth

April 4, 2016 Amanda McCollum

Jenny and Spencer were recently married at the Omni Hotel in Fort Worth. Jenny was stunning in her Anthropologie gown and her mother’s veil added just the right touch to perfect her wedding day look. The gorgeous floral provided by Kelly Norvell of Bridal Blooms made the ceremony space feel like you were sitting in a luxurious garden and complemented the travel theme of the reception. Before the ceremony began all of the guests were encouraged to hold the wedding rings while thinking good thoughts and prayers toward their marriage. It was a very sweet idea that I have never really seen before. In the warm glow of the candlelight in front of their closest friends and family, Jenny and Spencer made their vows to one another. They happily walked arm in arm down the aisle to the music of John Williams as husband and wife! Check back soon for their fun travel themed reception!

Melanie and Blake – Wedding Reception at The Fort Worth Club

November 23, 2015 Amanda McCollum

Walking into the Horizon Room at The Fort Worth club was absolutely breathtaking. With all of the gorgeous floral done by Kelly Norvell with Bridal Blooms and the tremendous planning by the wonderfully talented Abbie Oswalt of Abbie O Events, the room made everyone’s jaw drop as they entered for the reception. Melanie & Blake shared their first dance together as husband and wife and were roasted just the tiniest bit in the most playful way during toasts. After dinner, the party was on! High Definition Band was amazing as they kept the dance floor crowded and the atmosphere pumped! Not only did they have one great band, they had two! Melanie and Blake had some friends of theirs play some of their music during the band’s break and they were fantastic, all of the guests were gathered around to enjoy. Melanie & Blake partied it up with their family and friends and it was hard to leave at the end of the night. I am so happy that I was able to be part of their big day and I am so excited to share the beautiful images!
