Jessica & Rob – Engagement Session in Sundance Square and the StockyardsFort Worth, TX

June 21, 2018 Annie Kercho

I loved getting to know Jessica and Rob during their engagement shoot downtown and in the stockyards. They laughed the whole time, even though it was quite warm, which was very sweet! Here’s how they met:

“We met 5 years ago (April 2013) in Addison, Texas at Sherlocks. Rob is the guitarist for an 80s cover band called the Mullet Boyz and I was out with one of my friends – thought he was cute, so we stuck around and watched the show. Afterward we talked for a bit and exchanged numbers. A week later, he was playing another show in the area and invited me to come out – and rest is history!”

I can’t wait for their wedding next year!

I am exceed to be able to share the photos from Megan & Jonathan’s wedding day. Their day started with an early afternoon ceremony at University Christian Church. Megan & Jonathan decided they wanted to read their notes they wrote to each other together. We whose to do it around the corner of one of the pretty brick columns in the church. I loved how sweet Jonathan was as he reached around and grabbed Megan’s hand to give her a kiss. Here are some of my favorites from the first part of the day.

Andrea and Cole – Wedding Ceremony at Marty Leonard Chapel

March 25, 2015 Amanda McCollum

I am way beyond excited to share Andrea and Cole’s wedding day with everyone! Oh my goodness, I can’t even think of where to begin with this amazing couple. You know those people that as soon as you meet them you feel like you’ve known them forever? Yeah, well that’s Andrea and Cole and all of their family and friends. I photographed their rehearsal dinner the night before and don’t know that I have ever felt more welcome amongst so many people that I have never met before. When loved ones gave their toasts, they talked about how beautiful Andrea and Cole are on the inside and out. I could not agree more. They, along with their family, wedding party and guests are some of the sweetest people and seem to just have a genuine love for everyone and that made their wedding day just that much sweeter. We began getting ready for the big day over at the Stockyards in the Hyatt hotel. Andrea and her girls had me cracking up the entire time and were having so much fun just being together. Then it was time for the first look and we caught all the girls sneaking a peak through the window to watch the reactions. Once we got to Marty Leonard Chapel, we had time to get some really great romantic shots of Andrea and Cole alone. I tell you what, these two should be models! I have been sad that their wedding is over, just because I can’t photograph them anymore! Once the ceremony began, the chapel was full and Andrea’s sweet dad teared up as he gave his little girl away. I caught myself trying not to cry during the entire ceremony! It was so beautiful with two beautiful people joining two amazing families together. Check back soon for photos from their dance party of a reception out at the Stockyards!

Last week I got to spend time with Jennifer and Adam for their Fort Worth engagement session. We started at the Fort Worth Stockyards where we had fun walking around and trying to dodge the cattle drive. We then drove to Eagle Mountain Lake Park that has a great rustic country setting. At the park Jennifer and Adam demonstrated some dance moves they promised I will see at their June wedding at City Club. Here are some of my favorites from their session.

Katie & Leo – Couples Portraits with their Doggie, Hogan

February 7, 2014 Couples

Sitting here on a snowy day it is funny that this is my last “makeup” session from December’s ice storm. Katie and Leo were one of my many couples scheduled for that fateful weekend and finally last Saturday we were able to get together with their pup, Hogan. We picked this nature area right behind the Fort Worth Stockyards for their session. The soft rustic feel and the bare winter trees were so pretty and went perfectly well with this little family. Hogan was very well behaved and it was great meeting him. Take care you two and Thank You for continuing to work with us to document your lives!
