Sara and Van are two of the most contagiously joyful people I’ve ever met, and I say that with 100% certainty. Their wedding was laid back and stylish with an emphasis on candid photography – which we LOVE to do! Capturing people as they truly are is such a rewarding and satisfying experience. As an […]
Hey y’all. This is a crazy stressful time right now, and none of us know if or when or how it’s going to get better. It’s cheesy but these are uncharted waters and we are in it together. Quick update: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we are not accepting bookings with more than 30 […]
Jillian and John’s wedding day was a crisp, outdoor, November evening at Sanford House in Arlington, Texas. I always love working with fellow UTA Alumni, and venturing back to the town where I met my friends and became independent. We opted to take all bride and groom portraits after dark, so be sure to scroll […]
Becki and Brittany tied the knot at Brik Venue in Fort Worth, and it was a perfectly intimate wedding day. I first met Becki back at her friend Lindsay’s wedding, and it’s always such an honor to be invited back into a friends group to photograph another occasion! The ivy wall at Brik Venue was […]
Felipe and Kayla are two good friends of ours, and we met when Felipe drummed for Nick’s band, Lindby. It’s been great staying in touch over the years and seeing both Nick’s and Felipe’s bands evolve. Kayla is also a music superfan as well, so their match makes so much sense! We loved photographing their […]
Lola and Armando had a little bit nerdy wedding at one of the most stunning venues in DFW – Trinity River Audubon Center. They incorporated a few Game of Thrones references, and also wanted to highlight being fans of outer space. I can’t help but be reminded of this quote: “For small creatures such as […]
Piotr and Meghan had an intimate rooftop wedding in my hometown of Plano, Texas, and it was a super fun party with a bit of Polish heritage featured! Thank you Piotr and Meghan for having us photograph your wedding!
Rachel and Robert’s Aristide Flower Mound wedding day had absolutely perfect weather, despite the fact that the morning of their wedding all of DFW was woken up by a crazy loud hail storm. You have to love Texas Spring! But by the afternoon (and when it was time for Rachel and Robert’s portraits), the sun […]
Mandy and Kristin’s Harmony Chapel wedding took place on a perfect, 70 degree January day at Harmony Chapel in Aubrey, Texas. It was our first wedding of 2019 and was an absolutely wonderful way to start the year! Some of my favorite aspects of this wedding were: Mandy gifting Kristin a book of love letters […]
Sarah and Nick, what can I say? They are two glass blowing artists completely meant for each other. (My) Nick and I ventured out to Abilene, TX last weekend to document their wedding day. They fully embraced the Christmas decorations at their church that they also attend. Sarah and I go way back from painting […]
Casey and Mike’s Cross Creek Ranch Texas Wedding took place on a frigid November day, but it was OK because we all like the cold! I have greatly enjoyed working with them over this past year, and it seems like every time these two come to town, the weather cools itself off. We ended up […]
Alyssa and Nick’s Dallas Elopement took place at Hub Streat in Plano, TX, after six years together. Three of those years were spent being engaged, and when I talked with Alyssa on the phone, she said they were ready to do this thing! There were so many lovely, heartfelt moments to capture throughout this day: […]
Mercy and Steve’s Gilley’s Dallas Wedding took place at The Loft at Gilley’s and perfectly fit Mercy’s modern, industrial vibe that she was going for! A little backstory: Mercy and I were neighbors back at our time at UT Arlington. In the years since, she’s started a thriving hair styling business, and we’ve remained friends […]
Jessica and Chris’s Texas Hill Country wedding took place in Mason, Texas at the Alamo Resort and Dancehall. I have a lot of feelings about this wedding, so y’all buckle up. We first worked with this lovely family back when Courtney, Jessica’s sister, got married to Buck back in 2014. I will say this over […]
Cortney and Will’s Brik Venue wedding took place on a Monday evening! I’m all about weekday weddings. It was an honor to be their photographer for several reasons: this was my third wedding with the Patterson family, and Cortney is in the wedding industry as a florist and planner. Cortney and Will met in college […]
Jessica and Derek’s Garden of the Gods Elopement in Colorado Springs was an adventure for the books! Jessica contacted me earlier this year via Instagram and asked if I travel for elopements. (The answer to that question is always yes!) Our consultation was two hours long, and I left worrying about if I revealed too […]
Elise and Scott’s Piazza in the Village wedding had so many small, personal touches and a knockout color palette! I met Elise at the Piazza in the Village Open House (it was my first open house ever, and I won’t lie – I was a ball of NERVES!), but after meeting and working with her, […]
Gabby and Collin’s Hillsboro, TX Wedding took place on a wonderful Spring day. They tied the knot at Collin’s family church. Gabby got ready at their soon to be home down the street from the home Collin grew up in, and where their wedding reception took place later that evening. It was a privilege to […]
Lindsey and Brett had their Granbury TX wedding at Pecan Plantation Country Club in Granbury, TX. Their wedding day was intimate with their closest family and friends joining them from all over the country. It’s always special to witness families joining together. I also have to say it’s not everyday I hear “Pale Blue Eyes” […]
Molly and Dustin’s Room on Main wedding day was absolute perfection! In true Texas Spring fashion, we had a forecast of 100% rain, so we were prepared with several different backup plans and my trusty Dark Sky app on my watch. Luckily, their pre-wedding preparations were taking place in a penthouse at the iconic Joule […]
