Wendy & Aaron – Engagement Session at Airfield Waterfall and Modern Art MuseumFort Worth, TX

January 4, 2018 Couples

I’ve known Aaron & Wendy for a little while now and I’ve been able to see their relationship grow from the start. With that said, I was super excited when they told me they were engaged and even more excited when they asked me to take their engagement photos. They are a perfect pair! They were great together when adventuring down rock walls and through cold water with me (to get the right shot!), even though it was pretty chilly outside. I am looking forward to photographing them on their wedding day!

Lisa and John – First Look and Wedding CeremonyRobert Carr Chapel at TCU - Fort Worth, TX

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!

Welcome Baby Collins!In Home Newborn Session

May 26, 2016 Amanda McCollum

Welcome to the world baby Collins! This beautiful family welcomed their 4th baby and her 3 older siblings couldn’t have been more excited! It was so fun to be in their home and watch them interact with each other and their new little sister. Ellis and Hayden couldn’t wait to get to hold her and did so well getting their photo taken with her. Carson nearly brought me to tears when he started whispering “I’m your big brother” to his newest sister. It was the sweetest thing and so touching. We are so excited to share some of our favorites from their lifestyle newborn session.

Carson has always been a busy boy and we couldn’t resist capturing him climbing into the refrigerator, helping himself to a snack.

Hayden was having a fun time with her very own camera taking pictures of us taking pictures.

Ellis was too cute posing with all of her stuffed animals.

Carson is 5 and such an active boy! We had so much fun photographing him to document his 5th birthday. He is a ball of energy and loves to run, jump, climb and roll in the grass. We loved getting to capture his active spirit!

Stephanie and Ben – Engagement Session at The Kimbell Art Museum and Trinity Trails

April 7, 2016 Amanda McCollum

And another fabulous engagement session! I loved working with Stephanie and Ben. As soon as I met with them, I knew that the Kimbell would be an excellent choice for part of their session, especially since they are having their reception at The Modern. I love that Stephanie chose to wear a white, a-line dress. Their outfit choices worked so well and complimented the clean lines and architecture of the museum and they looked fantastic! We then headed over to the trails. It’s quite the walk over to the fields, but it is well worth it! I mean, just look at that gorgeous light and those colors! Ben is a TCU grad and Stephanie is currently working on her MBA at TCU and they will be getting married at Robert Carr in September! Go Frogs! I had so much fun with these two and can’t wait for their upcoming wedding!

Can you say adorable? Last week I got to hang out with Alex and Andy at the Fort Worth Stockyards. These two have so much chemistry together it’s crazy! Not only are they ridiculously cute in front of the camera but man are they funny and goofy. I really enjoyed getting to know them and getting to joke around with them. They will be getting married in November and I am getting excited for their wedding. Please enjoy some of my favorites from their Fort Worth engagement.

Ashley & Mike Engagements at The Fort Worth Botanic Gardens

September 26, 2013 Amanda McCollum

Last week I had the chance to meet up with Ashley and Mike at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. I really enjoyed getting to spend time with these two and getting to know them as a couple. Mike is from Serbia and has been teaching Ashley how to count in Serbian. So a lot of the session was spent with Ashley practicing her Serbian. There was a lot of giggling and being goofy, and I had so much fun with this couple (even if I couldn’t understand what they were saying). Please enjoy a few of my favorites from their Fort Worth Engagement Session.

Allyson & Stephen Wedding at Robert Carr Chapel and Fort Worth City Club

June 20, 2013 Amanda McCollum

Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph Allyson & Stephen’s wedding at Robert Carr Chapel. They are some of the sweetest people you will ever meet and Stephen will keep you laughing all day long. After the ceremony we headed over to City Club for their daytime reception. They loved being surrounded by their family and friends who came from all over to share the day with them. Please enjoy some of my favorites from their Fort Worth wedding.
