Lauren and Jacob’s intimate wedding was captured at the Rustic Grace Estate in Van Alstyne, Texas. Comprised of mostly family and a few close friends, this was a perfect venue for their wedding. Lauren’s dress was by Casablanca.

Sabrina and Kevin’s wedding took place at Ashton Gardens in Corinth. It might be my favorite place to photograph at. Tucked away in there own private woods, there are rooms for the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen to get ready in. A beautiful large back wall of glass sets as a backdrop and makes for a breathtaking view. It has two reception halls that have glass back walling and also serves great for photos. Large wood trusses line the roof that really make it a unique and one of kind place to get married.
What stood out most to me on their wedding day was the positive energy of the them and the wedding parties. They were a really fun group and made covering the day a really enjoyable experience. Sabrina’s dress was Sottero and Midgley by Maggie Sottero.

Email meLink itBack to TopContactMonique and Joe’s day started at Farmer’s Branch Historical Park. It was a gazebo wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Poor Joe was a nervous wreck that day while Monique was the polar opposite, calm, cool and collected. You just never know what sort of emotions will be evoked on a wedding day but it’s always fun to find out. It was an emotional ceremony with Joe shedding a few tears at the alter with Monique wiping them away as the minister spoke. Joe let loose at the reception, along with everyone else so it was one of the more entertaining receptions that I ever covered. Here are a few of my favorites from their day.

Email meLink itBack to TopContactI shot Sara’s engagements with her fiance, Dylan a few months before and I wasn’t sure if Sara would have her dress in time for us to squeeze in a Bridal session. Lucky for me it was ready in time. Sara wanted a fresh, country feel so we decided on a private residence in Mountain Springs, Texas. It was more like a hotel or bed and breakfast. I got a private tour and I swear there were at least 10 rooms, indoor swimming pool, workout room and an elevator. It was really incredible. Poor Sara was getting hit hard by allergies. Her eyes were red and her nose was driving her nuts but she hung in there like the trooper that she is. Here are some of my favorites.

Email meLink itBack to TopContactSara and Dylan decided to meet up with me at a park that is a special place to them located by the Denton Civic Center. Both are big fans of Toms foot ware, so much so that the entire wedding party would be donning them on their wedding day. When they first started to date, they would often have picnics at this quaint little park and still continue to do so to this day. Afterwards, we walked around the Denton square, which has all sorts of unique buildings with old fire escapes and old industrial warehouses that are really neat to photograph at. To wrap up the engagement session, Dylan had created a “concoction” with food coloring and baking soda (I think) and would have a “color” fight at Eureka Park in Denton. Needless to say, we had a great time. Since then, I’ve photographed Sara’s bridals but I have to wait until their wedding day to unveil those. Sorry Dylan, you have to wait until your big day.
