Courtney & Tyler – Wedding Reception at Van Cliburn Recital HallFort Worth, TX

February 8, 2018 Couples

After the ceremony we took a little pit stop at Bass Hall for a few more fun photos! Courtney and Tyler then made their big entrance and it was time for the party to begin and boy, was it a party! It’s always fun to see new and different traditions at weddings. Courtney and Tyler are Aggies and so were a lot of their guests, so they asked all of their Aggie guests to bring their class rings to Tyler’s grooms cake for a photo. It was neat to see so many rings together, not to mention a little nerve wracking having so much gold in one spot! Courtney, Tyler and all of their friends and family sure know how to have a good time. I don’t think that they dance floor was ever empty! However, all good things must come to an end and we sent the newlyweds off to their Jamaica honeymoon through a tangled web of streamers. It was a pretty perfect day and I’m so grateful that Courtney and Tyler trusted me to capture it for them. Congratulations to Courtney and Tyler!

Alicia & Kyle – Wedding Ceremony & ReceptionMansfield, TX

February 6, 2018 Lindsey Morgan

Alicia and Kyle got married! I knew these two were a compassionate and loving couple from the first time I met them. They are genuinely interested in building each other (and everyone else) up and supporting one another. It was adorable to see them almost always holding hands in between the excitement and business of the day. Anyone in attendance can tell you it was a sweet and emotional day for everyone, but especially Alicia and Kyle. It was great to see them tie the knot among family and so many friends and I am grateful to have been a part of it. Check out some of their special moments from the wedding day below.

Abby & Casey – Wedding at The Fort Worth Club

September 14, 2017 Amanda McCollum

Abby and Casey are married! These two met playing soccer years ago and were married in the beautiful terrace of the Fort Worth Club complete with a fabulous view of Downtown Fort Worth. Abby was escorted down the aisle by her mom and dad and she couldn’t have looked more stunning! I love when ceremonies are full of memorable moments and Abby and Casey had several sweet, funny and tender moments. During their vows Casey sweetly wiped a tear from Abby’s eye and just melted my heart. After lighting the unity candle they were pronounced husband and wife and it was time to party!! Everyone enjoyed cocktail hour with a fabulous all female mariachi band and then were all escorted into the ballroom to await the newlyweds. Abby and Casey shared their first dance under the glowing light of the chandelier and then barely left the dance floor all night! Nobody wanted to leave the dance floor, but all good things must come to an end. Everyone gathered in front of the elevator and sent Abby and Casey off to start their new life through a tunnel of bubbles. I’m so excited to share their day and so glad they chose me to capture it!

Brianna & Ross – Portraits at TCU Campus and Reception at the Modern Art MuseumFort Worth, Texas

August 10, 2017 Annie Kercho

Brianna & Ross got married in Hawaii (yes please!) and chose to have a reception here in Fort Worth for friends and family who couldn’t make it. These two cuties met at TCU, so of course we had to go there to get some photos before the reception. Let me tell you, these two are troopers! It was a hot day, and by hot I mean Texas hot but they still walked around campus to get some photos! We were able to explore the galleries at the Modern Art Museum, which is one of my favorite places here in Fort Worth. They had a beautiful, candlelight dinner with some toasts and cake cutting to finish up the night. I am so thankful these two allowed me to be a part of their day!

Hannah and Kevin – Wedding Reception at The Ashton DepotFort Worth, TX

July 24, 2017 Amanda McCollum

Even though the rain may have prevented the ceremony from being held outdoors, it let up just enough for us to finish up photos outside! Then Hannah and Kevin partied the night away with Trey and the Tritones. They were having a blast catching up with friends and family and rockin’ it out on the dance floor. While all of the guests lined up to see them off, they stayed behind for their private last dance. I always love private dances but the Ashton Depot is always such a beautiful backdrop for it. Once they made their getaway, I met up with them in downtown to get a few more fun night photos! Thank goodness the rain stayed away for the rest of the evening. Congratulations to Hannah and Kevin!

Chandler & Nic – Reception at The OrchardAzle, Texas

February 15, 2017 Annie Kercho

After the first dance, Chandler danced with her father and let me tell you, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. As a photographer I love being able to capture these special moments like a father dancing with his daughter. Chandler and Nic were on the dance floor the whole night but wanted to sneak outside to get some fun night portraiture photos. Check out some of my favorite moments from the reception!

Lisa and John – Engagement Session at Sundance Square Downtown Fort Worth and Trinity Park

January 14, 2016 Amanda McCollum

I loved Lisa and John’s engagement session! We timed it just right so that by the end of the session we would be able to get the lights of downtown in some of their photos and they turned out great! These two are so sweet with each other and I cannot wait for their wedding in October.

Carla and Jason – Wedding Reception at The Ashton Depot

December 20, 2015 Amanda McCollum

Carla & Jason’s reception was held at the beautiful Ashton Depot. They and their guests enjoyed all kinds of different music provided by LeForce Entertainment, including some traditional Hispanic songs and dances like the snake dance. They also serenaded their family and friends with a mariachi band! After an amazing night of fun and dancing, Carla & Jason weren’t done. They wanted to get some cool night portraits, so we braved the cold and headed down to Sundance Square in Downtown Fort Worth. I loved being able to take some fun photos of them in all of the lights of downtown! Please enjoy some of my favorites from their fall wedding.
