Melissa and Brian's Wedding at Marty Leonard Chapel

A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to photograph a very intimate wedding in Fort Worth with my buddy Jeremy Gilliam.  Brian and Melissa are from Houston and got married in Fort Worth with the ceremony at the Marty Leonard Chapel and the reception at the Van Cliburn Recital Hall.  Despite the rain near the end, it was a gorgeous day and we captured some great moments!   It was also great to work with our buddy Susie Gray Uphues again! Here are some highlights...

This is a great idea for you brides out there.(Hint Hint).  Love the custom hanger!  Much better than some provided by the dress shops!

Melissa and Jonathan's Destination Wedding in Aruba!

A couple of weeks ago, Alycia and I had the pleasure of photographing Melissa and Jonathan's wedding on the beautiful island of Aruba!  It was our first time there, but will definitely not be our last!  The wedding was held at the Radisson Aruba resort and Casino.  Lisa and her staff there were very accommodating and they made sure that everyone had a great time! 

Both families of Jonathan and Melissa made us feel at home and we had an absolute blast with everyone!  As you can see from the photos,  both Jonathan and Melissa looked amazing!  They are actually on a three month honeymoon around the world as I type, but I know they have internet access!(I'm totally jealous btw!), so I know they will enjoy this!

Here are a few highlights...

Here is the view from our beach...

Amanda's Southlake and Keller Bridal Session!

Amanda called me to do a bridal session as a surprise for her 1 year Anniversary with her husband.  She never had a chance to take portraits when they got married and thought it would be a great present.  I could not agree more!  As you can see, we did a few shots in my studio as well as a few in a cool little field I love shooting in! (I LOVE it when brides want to add a few fun studio shots in their sessions!)  Here are a few...
