I was so honored when the Brides of North Texas magazine asked me to shoot the formal wedding gowns for their inaugural issue!!  The magazine is first class for you guys that haven’t seen it yet, so go pick one up at most DFW booksellers, etc…  A lot of things go into shoots like this as it is a pretty big production!  Here are all the wonderful folks that helped out and took part…

We had a great wedding a couple of weeks ago at the Piazza in the Village(One of my new favorite places to photograph!)  Michelle and her team there always do a great job!  Bri and DJ looked great and we got some really amazing shots despite the REALLY cold weather!

It was also great to work with one of our favorite Coordinators and Florists Tami Winn and Le Fleur Couture!  As usual, everything looked wonderful!!  It was also great to work with Randy Roberson as he made sure the dance floor was rocking all night!

Here are a few highlights from the day that Sharon, Andrew, and I took…

A couple of Bri that are simply STUNNING!

A great sequence here as they had a private moment to see each other before the ceremony…

As you can see, it was very emotional…

Another sweet moment…

Some alone time.(You can’t tell but it was FREEZING!!)

LOVE this!

The guys…

The girls…

We went inside for a few…

There was an ice cream shop not far, so we walked down and I bought everyone some HOT Chocolate to help get warm! It made for a cool group shot…

LOVE these shots!

Bri and her dad make their way down the aisle…

From the front…

The KISS!

Lots of cool reception details!

Bri surprised her dad with a special song!

More great moments…

I had to put this one in here as this little guy was kissing Bri’s bridal portrait!  Too cute!

The exit…

Bri and DJ had a photobooth by BoothBooth and per tradition, we had to get in there and goof off a bit!  Here I am with Tami and her Crew as well as Michelle from the Piazza.(I have no idea what Tami is doing btw. LOL!)

Congrats again Bri and DJ!  I should have the rest of the wedding edited in about a week.

I am now getting around to blogging some great photoshoots and events that I have photographed over the last couple of months.  I had a great time photographing NEW Seattle Mariner Catcher/First Baseman Ryan Garko and his beautiful wife Christie just before their wedding.

They are such a fun and photogenic couple that I literally could not take a bad shot!!  Ryan even gave me a game worn jersey and signed it “To Kevin…World’s Best Photographer!”  Gotta love that!

Here are a few from the session…

Cute couple!

A fun shot!

A bit more romantic….

Seriously, these guys should model!

A more vintage looking shot as well as the aforementioned signed jersey!!
