Rachel and Danny’s Wedding!

I’m about to head off to Europe for a couple of weeks for a wedding, but wanted to blog about last week’s wedding first!

We photographed Rachel and Danny’s GORGEOUS wedding at First United Methodist Church in Dallas and the reception at the Adolphus Hotel.  It was such a fun wedding and Rachel and Danny looked AMAZING!!

It was also great as all of their vendors were top notch!(Which makes our lives so much easier!!) Angie and Kristin of AK Event Design and Terri Hahn of the Adolphus did an awesome job of making sure everything went smoothly!  The decor was done wonderfully(as usual) by Bella Flora and the lighting by Lite Dallas.  The DJ was the one and only Andy Austin and the Videography was done by our friends at Soulbox Productions!

Here are some highlights that Andrew, Sharon, and I captured from the day…

Rachel’s STUNNING Dress!

Rachel updates her FACEBOOK on the top left one and the garter here is worn by a group of friends each time they get married!(They add a name every time and I think Rachel is the third bride that I have photographed with this particular garter!)

Andy and Becca’s Engagement Session!

I had the pleasure of photographing Andy and Becca’s engagament session a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share a few of my faves with everyone!  Yes, these were taken in the DFW area, but I’m willing to bet not many people know where. =)

A fun composition here…

Brandi and Kenneth’s Tampa Wedding!

Last weekend, I flew to Tampa Bay to photograph Brandi and Kenneth’s wedding!  I had a fun time and we got some really great shots despite the monsoon that covered us all day!  The uber talented Aaron Lockwood and Alycia Alvarez helped me out and we all had a great time!  The wedding was coordinated by Karmen Pannell of KPEvent Designs(One of my faves!)  and she made sure everything went as planned!  We even all got to go eat at Bern’s Steakhouse on Friday night!!(My favorite restaurant in the world!!)

Here are some highlights of the day…

The view of  Tampa outside the window.(You can see my Yacht down below!)  I wish!!!!!
