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.

At their reception they had a special family Kimono displayed as well as 1,000 paper cranes that Celine’s mother made for the wedding. Like I said, the dancing did not disappoint! As soon as the music was turned up people started dancing! I enjoyed being able to capture this special day for Celine & Wesley! Check out some of my favorite moments from their reception.

We were able to slip outside during dinner for a few minutes to capture some fun photos of just Caitlin and Eric just before sunset. They are seriously so cute! Instead of a cake, these two chose to serve custard which is a fun twist to the normal tradition. After their sweet first dance and dinner, the open dancing started and the dance floor stayed packed the whole night. Here are some of my favorite moments from their reception!

After their beautiful ceremony, they headed to the Ashton Depot for their reception. As the guests arrived to the reception they enjoyed signature cocktails, a mariachi band, hand-rolled cigars, and a picture booth with a beer burro! Inside, the space was transformed with beautiful pink uplighting and lush florals. Don’t even get me started on the groom’s cake! Chocolate covered cake balls lined a replica Texas A& M Kyle Field Football Stadium while the brides cake was decorated in pretty pink flowers. I mean, does it get any better? The bride and groom entered and went into a fun and sassy dance before a starting a slow dance as their first dance as husband and wife. As a gift to the father of the bride, the couple brought out a birthday cake and sang to him since his birthday fell on that special day! Then, the dance party got started with a surprise drumline and didn’t stop until the couple left in style in a vintage car. Check out some of my favorite moments!

I had the pleasure of photographing Ashley & Austin for a Romantics Session here in Fort Worth not too long ago. When Ashley told me about her sweet lace dress and their love for the outdoors, I knew we had to go to Van Zandt Cottage and Trinity Park. I love the fun atmosphere that they create with each other and how that translates through the camera. And look at Ashley’s smile! That girl can really light up a room. I truly enjoyed my time with these two and I look forward to the next chapter in their life. These are some of my favorites of the day.

I loved being able to be a part of this intimate ceremony for Tara & Michael at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. We found a nice quiet spot in the Trial Gardens for them to exchange their vows before we strolled through the other gardens for some great romantic shots. I adore the symbolism that the Trial Gardens brought to the day. It is where all new types of plants are planted to give them a chance to take root before they are transplanted to other locations on the grounds. For me, it is where Tara & Michael took root in their new life together. These are some of the images I enjoy the most from the day.

Sweet moment between Carson and Megan as he kisses her hand during the first dance.

Kristin and Brandon enjoyed a private last dance before heading out. They were able to have a moment alone to take in their whole amazing day.
From the cowboy hats all the way down to the bride’s custom made boots, Amy and Jared’s wedding was pure country.
Bailey and Ryan’s wedding was beautifully country chic with all of their fall and rustic inspired details.
Chandler & Will had a December wedding. Incorporating Christmas into their decorations, their wedding was simply beautiful and classic.
Katie and Leo had a blast with all of their family and friends. Their day wouldn’t have been complete without the very fun, big red trolley that took them around throughout the day.
A favorite moment during the ring exchange as D.B. gently touches Lori’s face and gazes into her eyes.
Melanie and Kyle are completely lost in the moment during their first dance.
Riley & James had a very small and intimate ceremony that included only family. It was absolutely perfect.
Sarah and John are so incredibly happy right after saying their vows. They were so excited to become husband and wife.
Tara and Dan had a beautiful outdoor wedding beside a small pond on their property. It was the perfect setting.
“I also really liked the one in the courtyard with him wrapping his arms around me from behind, I felt so happy and safe with my husband.” – Jessica
So often when we am photographing we immediately love an image. We are right in the thick of the emotion and sometimes a photo is what will trigger that memory, moment and feeling forever. We wanted to take some time out this Valentines Day to share some of our wedding clients favorite images from 2011. We asked brides to tell us about their favorite images and why they love them. It was awesome to see what they chose and to hear their kind words and fond memories. We are excited about all the LOVELY photos we will be taking in the year ahead!
