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!

There were cool DETAILS everywhere, so here are a couple of collages of some…

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!)

Rachel gets a LOT of help getting ready!

Danny getting ready and then chilling for the camera…(notice the awesome engagement portrait on the wall!) =)

The girls take a cute shot before they get dressed…

Since the wedding is over, I can safely share a few of Rachel’s VERY COOL Bridal portraits…

One of my favorite shots in a longtime as I just love the composition and the lines!

Danny and the guys…

Since I am a SOONER and Rachel was a Sooner Cheerleader, you KNOW I am going to post this one!  BOOMER SOONER!!

A great shot of Rachel and her father walking down the aisle!

An overall shot of the ceremony…

The kiss!

Another great shot!

The wedding party was HUGE, so I had to get a little creative here…

Some cool “Alone Time” shots…

The first one is simply STUNNING if you ask me!

Some AMAZING details at the reception!

A nice moment at the end of the first dance…

The exit…

Congrats again Rachel and Danny!  I hope you are having a blast on your honeymoon!!

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…

I love this one as the feeling is real!

The straw field was awesome!!

And something a bit different…

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!!!!!

I shot Bri and DJ’s engagement session a couple of weeks ago and despite the hot weather, we got some really cool shots!  I can’t wait for the wedding as I know it will be a ton of fun!  Here are a few of the highlights…

Love this one!

Bri’s dress and boots were awesome!

Last Saturday, Sharon, Andrew, and myself had teh chance to photograph Stephanie and Brian’s fun wedding day!  Both of them looked great and it was fun getting to know their family and wedding party!  It was also great to work with Wedding Planner Staci Freeman of Stardust Celebrations and my good friend Kristin Burke at Gleneagles Country Club!!  Both Staci and Kristin made sure that the day went smoothly and it made our job so much easier!  Here are a few of the highlights from the day…
