Jenn & Mitch – Wedding Reception at The Warwick Melrose HotelDallas, TX

October 24, 2017 Amanda McCollum

Man oh man Jenn and Mitch know how to have a good time! They, along with all of their guests, barely left the dance floor. The moment (or moments I should say) of the night was when Mitch’s favorite song was being played. I would have never guessed that “Like a Prayer” by Madonna, would have been it but man was it a hit! Everyone got into it, so much so that for the encore/last song of the night it was played again! I’ve never seen so many people get so excited to hear a song. Everyone, including me, was singing and dancing to it! It was just a fun day all around! I am so honored to have been able to capture it. Congratulations to Jenn and Mitch!

Jenn & Mitch – Wedding Ceremony at Holy Trinity Catholic ChurchDallas, TX

October 24, 2017 Amanda McCollum

What a fun day! Jenn and Mitch were married at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Dallas. It was a beautiful ceremony and they both just had the biggest smiles on their faces all the way back up the aisle, so happy to finally be husband and wife. After the ceremony we had the chance to take the party bus around Dallas for some fun photos! Jenn and Mitch and their wedding party were such a blast just on the bus, I knew the reception was going to be pretty epic, and I was right! Check back for their crazy fun dance party!

Janey & Collin – First Look and Wedding Ceremony at Holy Trinity Catholic ChurchDallas, TX

September 28, 2017 Amanda McCollum

Janey and Collin are married! We began the day at The Carlisle Room where the reception would later be. You could feel the excitement in the air as we drew closer to first look and ceremony time. I think I made Collin anxious when I made him wait a little longer to turn around and see his bride for the first time. When he did finally get to turn around, his jaw dropped seeing Janey in her dress. She looked absolutely perfect and I think it was well worth the wait I put him through. These two are the absolute cutest and I had been looking forward to their day for a long time! We were able to get some beautiful romantic photos of them and some fun wedding party before heading to the church. I loved how much of a fun and sweet group of friends they had in their bridal party. It really made my job even easier! We got to the church and it was time for the ceremony. As Janey walked down the aisle on her dad’s arm, Collin looked like he had just seen her for the first time all over again. I love how you can see his face light up every time he sees her. The ceremony began and it was so beautiful, complete with a few giggles and sweet stolen glances at one another. Before we knew it, they were pronounced husband and wife and making their way back up the aisle! I can’t imagine it being any more perfect! Please check out some of my favorites from their first look and ceremony and check back soon for their fun reception at The Carlisle Room!

Sarah and Tyler – First Look and Wedding Ceremony at St. Thomas AquinasDallas, TX

March 27, 2017 Amanda McCollum

The good weather luck continues! It rained most of our drive to Dallas and just as it was looking like it would still be raining for Sarah and Tyler’s first look, the skies cleared up. The rain lightened up and stopped long enough for us to get all of the photos we wanted outside. All of the family and bridal party were such troopers as we stood out in the crazy wind taking photos! Sarah and her girls really knew how to make that wind work in their favor! It was time for the ceremony and Sarah looked so beautiful as she walked to the aisle on her dad’s arm with her mom’s veil in her hair. She was absolutely beaming! Sarah and Tyler exchanged their vows and were pronounced husband and wife and I know that at that moment all of the nerves were lifted from their shoulders. It was time to celebrate! Enjoy some of my favorites from their first look and ceremony and check back for their reception at The Carlisle Room!

Crystal & Marcus- Ceremony at Lakewood Theater in Dallas

November 18, 2013 Sarah Rizy

I loved Crystal and Marcus wedding at the Lakewood Theater. They had so many different and unique aspects to their day. Marcus was followed into the ceremony by his pipe band that he is part of and then Crystal and Marcus walked out to a song from the newest Muppet Movie. Here are some of my favorites from the first part of their Dallas wedding.

Heather & Ed {Married Part 1-Preperations and Ceremony} Halloween Wedding at Magnolia Hotel and Private Residence in Dallas

November 4, 2011 Wedding Day

Heather and Ed’s wedding was definitely one of my favorite weddings to photograph this year. I could really go on and on about it! These two had a Halloween themed wedding at a private residence and a great big party at Off the Grid in Dallas. They had a fabulous team of vendors that made really this day a success. Kelly with Sweet Pea Events coordinated the whole event while Heather and Ed live in Chicago, Colby Logan at Astounding Sounds did their lighting and DJ, DiFiori created some fabulously unique flower arrangements, Panini Bakery made a very spooky cake and Gil’s Elegant Catering provided the fantastic food!

Their ceremony was such a sweet affair. There were definitely tears from me as well as the bride and groom. One of my favorite moments was when Ed wiped Heather’s tears as she said her vows to him. Another funny moment was watching Heather and Ed kiss before they were pronounced husband and wife-the preacher had to point this out as he pronounced them exclaiming, “Ed, you may kiss your bride-again!” They just couldn’t keep their hands off each other! Heather and Ed are not just joining as a couple, but as a family with their three children. These kids were too cute and were so excited for their mommy and daddy. Here are a few of my favorites from their ceremony. Stay tuned for the crazy, spooky reception and their gorgeous romantics to follow!
