Claire & Adan – Wedding Reception at Ridglea Country ClubFort Worth, TX

May 31, 2018 Amanda McCollum

The day that Claire and Adan met for their first date, they started out with tea and scones at 4 and ended up staying out at a karaoke bar until 1 in the morning. That’s how you know you’ve found the right one! Well, just based on their first date, you know they know how to have a good time! Claire and her dad had a special choreographed dance and it was so much fun to watch! It was a party for the rest of the night after that. I don’t think they hardly left the dance floor the entire night! When it was time for the fun to end, Claire and Adan made their way through their guests and bubbles and headed on to their honeymoon! It was a fantastic day, congratulations to Claire and Adan!

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!

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!

Courtney & Tyler – Wedding Ceremony at Marty Leonard ChapelFort Worth, TX

February 8, 2018 Amanda McCollum

Oh my goodness! I cannot stop gushing over Courtney and Tyler’s wedding day! It was pretty much as perfect as a wedding day can be. We started the day out getting ready at Courtney’s childhood home where everyone was excited for the day to start. All of the girls were absolutely stunning with their floor length champagne colored gowns as they watched Courtney put on her wedding dress. That’s the moment when everything starts feeling real. Soon after Courtney was dressed, the power in the whole neighborhood went off! Luckily everyone was done and ready to go. Once we got to the church it was time for Courtney and Tyler to see each other for the first time. I do believe Tyler had his breath taken away by seeing his beautiful bride to be in her wedding dress, especially after seeing that amazing illusion back. We had so much fun with Courtney, Tyler and their wedding party! Guests started arriving and it was time to get Courtney’s veil on and get her down the aisle! The ceremony was beautiful with Marty Leonard a lit up at night. It was an incredibly breathtaking view. Please enjoy some of my favorites from Courtney and Tyler’s ceremony and be sure to check back for their reception!

Nicki & Kenny – Wedding Reception at The Fort Worth ClubFort Worth, TX

September 11, 2017 Amanda McCollum

Nicki and Kenny’s day went by way too fast, but was oh so much fun! After the ceremony we finished up with their wedding party and had some fun with their photos. Then we headed back to Fort Worth Club for the party! After the dances and toasts, Nicki and Kenny had a fun way to include all of their guests in photos. They did a selfie dash! They went around to each table and each table thought of a fun pose to do with the couple. It was such a great way for them to have a photo with everyone! After that they, along with their friends and family, danced up a storm! We couldn’t believe it when it was already time to send them off on their honeymoon! Before rushing off, they had one last private dance and then made their way to the elevators. Everyone was sad to see it end but so excited to send the newlyweds off to begin their new lives! Congratulations Nicki and Kenny!

Nicki & Kenny – Wedding Ceremony at Marty Leonard ChapelFort Worth, TX

September 11, 2017 Amanda McCollum

I am so excited to share Nicki and Kenny’s special day! We started the day at The Fort Worth Club and I don’t think Nicki stopped smiling all morning. Even when the tears started, she was still wearing a smile! I absolutely loved the energy and happiness that I felt just during getting ready! Kenny loves Superman, so Nicki got him some fun Superman socks to surprise him with and to go with his Superman cuff links! Once I saw Nicki’s dress, it was exactly what I pictured her wearing and she looked absolutely stunning. Kenny even started coming up with all the different words he could think of to describe his new wife’s beauty. It was so cute. During the ceremony you could really feel the love between these two as Nicki so elegantly wiped tears from her eyes and Kenny could not keep his eyes off of her. I am so happy to share some of my favorites from their big day and be sure to check back for more from their reception!

Remy & Max – Reception at the Fort Worth ClubFort Worth, Texas

May 31, 2017 Annie Kercho

Let me tell you this ballroom was magical! Justine’s Flowers did a wonderful job in creating this wonderful backdrop for this reception. With a live band and colorful uplighting, you know it’s going to be a great party. To make it even better, the brother of the groom decided to surprise the couple by having one of their favorite local artists and talented singer/musician, Grady Spencer, play the song during their first dance as husband and wife! Take a look at their surprise as they walked in! The maid of honor also broke out into a rap during toasts, which had everyone laughing. Their wasn’t a dull moment during this reception!

Here are some of my favorite moments from their fun-filled reception!

Hillery and Juan – Wedding at Marty Leonard Chapel and City ClubFort Worth, TX

April 20, 2017 Amanda McCollum

It may have been a tad windy but it was a beautiful day for Hillery and Juan’s wedding! We started out at City Club for their first look where apparently the only thing making Juan nervous was me! I may have made him wait a little longer than he probably wanted to to turn around and see his beautiful bride for the first time. Hillery was absolutely stunning in her Neiman Marcus gown and if there were any nerves before, they were one once they laid eyes on each other. We then headed over to Marty Leonard for their ceremony. They were too cute sitting up there stealing quick looks at one another. There was so much love and happiness in that chapel, I’m surprised it didn’t burst. One thing I loved so much about these two is their love for their family. They were all so close and Juan’s family even made the drive from Washington D.C. to Texas in 24 hours because their flight was cancelled! But they made it and were able to watch Hillery and Juan become husband and wife. Back over at City Club, Hillery and Juan were announced and I love how you can see the joy written all over their faces. They enjoyed catching up with some of their closest friends and family and making sure that everyone knew how appreciated they were. The night was filled with joy, laughter, love, friendship and dancing. As the night came to an end, Hillery and Juan were surrounded on the dance floor by all of their guests popping streamers. It truly was a beautiful day and I am so grateful they chose me to capture it! Congratulations to Hillery and Juan!

Nicole and Dave – Wedding Ceremony at Marty Leonard Chapel with Reception at YWCA

September 18, 2014 Amanda McCollum

Last weekend Nicole and Dave were married at Marty Leonard Chapel in Fort Worth. Nicole and Dave have known each other since they were young and that made this day just that much more special. They decided to see each other before the ceremony and as Nicole walked down the aisle to Dave, he looked at me and asked if she was crying. She was. It was incredibly sweet and I love how he knows her so well that even with his back turned he could tell she was tearing up. The ceremony was performed by Dave Tucker of Lovenotes and he told the story of how Dave proposed at the Koi Pond at the Dallas Arboretum. Nicole loves fish, so putting the ring in the fish food was genius of course. Which is why there are fish on the top of their cake! There were so many emotions felt during the ceremony and I know they were so excited to finally be married. After the ceremony we had a brief amount of time outside before the most amount of rain I’ve seen in a long time fell upon us. We got lucky that it didn’t happen while we were outside! We continued the evening over at the YWCA in downtown Fort Worth for the reception, coordinated by the ever so talented Rachel Burrow of Sarabeth Events. Nicole and Dave loved spending time seeing all of their guests and even had a rousing game of cornhole going. We ended the evening with a private dance just for Nicole and Dave alone before sending them off to their new life as a married couple. I have really enjoyed getting to know these two and having the privilege to photograph their petite wedding.
