Lindsey & Matt – Wedding Reception at The Fort Worth ClubFort Worth, TX

July 25, 2018 Amanda McCollum

After the ceremony, Lindsey and Matt headed back to the Fort Worth Club to celebrate with all of their friends and family. The dance floor was packed as everyone enjoyed the music from The Royal Dukes Band and if Lindsey and Matt weren’t out on the dance floor they were catching up with old friends. They also spent some time on stage with the band showing off their dance moves! At the end of the night, Lindsey and Matt shared a private last dance and then were sent off through a cloud of flutterfetti to start their new life together! It was a great day and I am so glad they chose me to be there and capture it for them! Congratulations to Lindsey and Matt!

Lindsey & Matt – Wedding Ceremony at Robert Carr Chapel at TCUFort Worth, TX

July 25, 2018 Amanda McCollum

They are married!! Lindsey and Matt met at TCU, so what better place to start their new life than getting married at Robert Carr Chapel?

“We have been together for such a long time, and share many of the same friends. We are so excited to share our day with them and our family, and to celebrate the evolution and stages of our relationship and beginning our next chapter. We are especially excited to get married at the TCU Chapel, since surprisingly, none of our other TCU friends have gotten married there yet (and we have been to a bunch of weddings over the past few years!)”

They began the day getting ready at the Fort Worth Club, where their reception would be held later that evening. After they were dressed and ready, Lindsey and Matt read notes that they had written to one another. This is something I really love. It’s the next best thing to a first look (in my opinion) while still holding true to tradition. It’s always such a sweet moment, that I love being able to capture, for you to read the words your love has written to you just moments before you see each other walking down the aisle.

It was then time for the ceremony! The cute little ring bearer practically sprinted down the aisle while the flower girl very carefully placed the flower petals down the aisle. The doors opened, and Lindsey made her entrance on her father’s arm. She looked absolutely stunning in her Hayley Paige gown with the illusion neckline and detailed bodice. It was a beautiful ceremony full of love and laughter! I hope you enjoy some of my favorite images from their ceremony and check back for their reception!

Claire & Adan – Wedding Ceremony at TCU’s Robert Carr ChapelFort Worth, TX

May 31, 2018 Amanda McCollum

Claire & Adan are married! It was such a beautiful day with so many special moments! Claire describes a few of them that she was so excited about…

“I am wearing my mom’s veil. I have always loved it and it is gorgeous. Adan is wearing spiderman cufflinks I bought him for his birthday and his best man is wearing captain america cufflinks that Adan gave him. They are both superhero buffs! One of our reading is from the Velveteen Rabbit. It is a beautiful passage I can’t wait to hear. I will be walking down the aisle to “Dawn” from the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack.”

In addition to all of these beautiful things, Claire and Adan gave their moms special rosaries during the ceremony and after they became husband and wife they stood on the balcony of the church and waved to their guests as they left the chapel. It felt very appropriate being so close to the royal wedding! Enjoy some of my favorite moments from their Fort Worth wedding!

Magenta & Caleb – Wedding Portraits at The Kimbell Art Museum & Reception at The Petroleum ClubFort Worth, TX

May 14, 2018 Amanda McCollum

Fort Worth holds a special place in Caleb and Magenta’s hearts. They said,

“We looked for unique ways to make the wedding more “us.” We both have a deep admiration for the city of Fort Worth so we selected venues that really showcased everything we love about the city.”

What is more Fort Worth that Robert Carr Chapel on TCU’s campus and the Petroleum Club that has an amazing view of downtown? In order to keep with their Fort Worth theme, we stopped over at the Kimbell Art Museum for some more fun wedding party photos! I love it when I get a little extra time with my couples! These guys were so much fun and too funny on the party bus. They probably could have kept that party going on that bus if they wanted to. After their first dance, Magenta and Caleb said hello to all of their guests who traveled from all over to be there to celebrate with them and then the party really got started! As promised in the toasts, we got to see some of Magetna’s sweet sweet dance moves and she did not disappoint! I was so sad to leave the party, but I made sure to get in a photo, myself, with Caleb and Magenta. I am so grateful that they chose me to capture their special day. Congratulations Magenta and Caleb!

Lindsey & Kurt – Getting Ready & Ceremony at Robert Carr ChapelFort Worth, Texas

May 1, 2018 Annie Kercho

Lindsey & Kurt are both graduates from TCU and when I first met them, I knew they would have a great wedding. They day started off with Lindsey getting ready at the new venue, the 4 Eleven, which is amazing! Lindsey and her dad shared a sweet first look in the courtyard where she received a beautiful pearl bracelet from her dad. The couple got married at Robert Carr chapel surrounded by friends and family and even had a saber exit after the ceremony! After they said farewell to guests they hopped into a vintage car that drove us to the stadium to get a few pictures before the reception. Check out a few of my favorite pictures from the first part of their day!

Tori & Jake – Wedding Reception at The Ashton DepotFort Worth, TX

November 15, 2017 Amanda McCollum

What a beautiful night! Tori and Jake held their reception at the amazing Ashton Depot. It was lit all warm and glowy, which was the perfect backdrop as they shared their first dance under the chandeliers. Tori’s dad gave a sweet toast and welcomed Jake into their family, then the party was on! We had so much fun on the dance floor with this group! Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and everyone lined up outside as Tori and Jake shared their private last dance. They then were sent off to start their new lives together! Thanks so much for letting me capture your big day! Congratulations!

Tori & Jake – Ceremony at Robert Carr Chapel at TCUFort Worth, TX

November 14, 2017 Amanda McCollum

These two Horned Frog alumni are married! Tori and Jake were married at TCU’s Robert Carr Chapel on a perfect October evening. We started the day getting ready over at the Worthington in Downtown Fort Worth. With the TCU game on in the background, it was a pretty chill morning with Tori and her girls. Things started to get real when it was time to put on the dress. The tears started to shed once the gown, shoes and veil were all in place. Tori was absolutely stunning! Once we got to the church we had a fun time taking photos with the wedding party. The girls were super cute and sassy, and the boys just plain goofy. They were all so much fun, I knew that the reception was going to be a good party. It was then time for the ceremony! Tori and Jake wrote their own vows which were so sweet, and Tori even threw something in there that made Jake crack up. They exchanged rings and then were pronounced husband and wife! It was such a beautiful day and there is still so much more! Check back for their awesome reception!

RoseAnn & Ross – Wedding Reception at The Renaissance WorthingtonFort Worth, TX

August 31, 2017 Amanda McCollum

RoseAnn and Ross are now husband and wife and it is time to party! After the ceremony all of their family and bridal party greeted and congratulated them while guests cleared the chapel. We had some time for Ross and RoseAnn to be alone for the first time as a married couple and then it was on to the reception! They had a few more special moments up their sleeves for the reception. RoseAnn changed into her special red boots and her daddy helped her put them on before going into their father daughter dance. Ross and his mom then shared a dance together and RoseAnn reserved a special dance with her brother. I just love how close they all are! Ross had a cake shaped like the Ole’ Miss football field and it was fun to hear them scream their chant. Guests enjoyed dancing all night to the musical talents of It’s Your Night Entertainment’s Jeremiah Brinckley. Not only is he a fabulous DJ, but he sings too!! It was a fabulous night but all good things must come to an end. While all of their family and friends gathered in the hall to see them off, Ross and RoseAnn shared one last private dance together. They then were sent off to their honeymoon through a tunnel of shimmering red pom poms! Congratulations to RoseAnn and Ross!

RoseAnn & Ross – First Look and Wedding Ceremony at Robert Carr ChapelFort Worth, TX

August 31, 2017 Amanda McCollum

It seems like just yesterday that I was meeting RoseAnn and taking her bridal portraits, and now she is married! When I first talked with RoseAnn about her wedding day and her plans, she told me about how she is very sentimental and about the meaningful things that would be happening. I, also being a very sentimental person, got really excited. RoseAnn is very close with her family and so she had many things at her wedding that had special meaning to her and different family members. Her shoes were her wedding colors and had their names and wedding date printed on the inside. She wore her grandmother’s jewelry. Her brother gave her a beautiful charm bracelet that he placed on her wrist before they left for the church. As she walked down the aisle arm in arm with her dad, she held a bouquet of yellow roses because her dad calls her “his yellow rose of Texas”. How sweet is all of that? Don’t worry! She didn’t leave her new hubby out. She had a brand new perfume specifically for her wedding day and anniversaries that she wore. They say that you can associate memories with certain smells and what better way to remind you of your wedding day than a new scent? She also wrote Ross a letter that he read right before the ceremony that he can always have and look back on. I could go on and on but I think I’ll let the photos finish telling the story from here. Please enjoy some of my favorites from their special day and check back soon for their reception!

Caitlin & Eric – Getting Ready and Ceremony at Robert Carr ChapelFort Worth, Texas

August 24, 2017 Annie Kercho

I had the chance to get to know Caitlin during her bridals (stay tuned for those!) and knew that whoever she was marrying had to be as sweet as she was. Caitlin & Eric met at work, and they really are such a great couple together. They chose to do a first look outside at BRIK and Eric’s reaction is priceless! We took some fun wedding party photos at BRIK before heading over to Robert Carr Chapel for the couple to say “I Do.” Check out some of my favorite moments from the beginning of their day!
