Beatrice & Thomas – September 29, 2019

Beatrice & Thomas were married at Aristide McKinney on September 29, 2019.

It was one of the most colorful and entertaining weddings to date! We began at a residence for the getting ready shots, a special ceremony, formal photos then headed to the venue for the ceremony and reception. I absolutely loved how they incorporated their children, music, and the color palette of blues & purples were gorgeous!! They had wedding traditions that were so fun!

A note from the bride:

We met at a fundraiser in Arlington Texas. We had our first date at a Boston Market and continue to have lunch at the same location several times a year. We have two kids together and on February 16th 2019, Thomas got on His knee and proposed to me at the Mercury Steakhouse in Arlington, Texas. It was the best day ever and a start of a beautiful journey to 9/29/2019.

Alison & Donnie – September 28, 2019

A note from the bride:

We met at Smoke Monkey BBQ in rockwall. His sister and brother and law had a dessert stand there that they were in charge of. He was up there visiting them and happened to be standing there when I walked up to order from them. He looked very familiar, and I found out later we were mutual friends on Instagram. He liked my photo that night, then I messaged him and the rest is history! 🙂
Donnie knew the 50 acres I grew up on in Terrell, Texas was & will always be one of my favorite places and quickly became one of his. In February 2019, he asked me to go to dinner with a couple of friends. I had woke up that morning sick as a dog, but he convinced me they had something very important to discuss over dinner so we could not cancel, so we went. On the way home, he asked, “Can I show them the land in Terrell?” I thought to myself, it is dark outside so I’m not sure how much he’s going to show them but sure! So I told him, of course! We get to the road it is on and he stops the truck, gets out, and says he needed to “check the tire pressure.” He then opened my door and handed me a blindfold and told me to put it on. I refused. My exact words were, “I fixed my hair today, I’m not putting that on!” After some convincing from the friends we were with, I put it on and told Donnie “Good, that means I don’t have to get out and get the gate!” After pulling in, I was escorted out of the truck (still blindfolded) and was walked up towards where Donnie was standing. After being given the okay, I took the blindfold off and there stood all my closest family and friends lined up on each side of a lit up path leading up to Donnie in front of the pond. I ugly cried. I finally made my way up to Donnie, where he got down on one knee (for .5 seconds) and asked me to marry him. I (very quickly) SAID YES!

Marilynn & Jim’s wedding preview blog

My sweet bride & groom were married on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at Grandpappy Point Resort and Marina. It was a very small wedding, roughly 50 guests, completely different than what we typically shoot, but so nice for a change.

It was a gorgeous day, simple little details and DIY. Simple can still be so beautiful. I loved the color palette she chose, and the little flower girls dress was just darling, the ring bearer was the talk of the day! Take a look below. Here are some of my faves from the day.

Emily & Van – 8-17-19

A note from the bride:

We met at a food and wine festival on May 2, 2014. We went on our first date one week later and have been together ever since. Van proposed on a family vacation in traverse City Michigan. He took me to the top of a lighthouse for the proposal. We had lunch at a super cute, small cottage restaurant just the two of us following the engagement. He had the engagement planned for months prior and I thought he was never going to propose! It was a HUGE surprise!

This wedding was so beautiful with lots of fun! These are only SOME of the shots from the big day!!

Courtney & Michael’s wedding June 29, 2019

This wedding was so beautiful from start to finish! The day began extremely hot, the kind of heat that when you step outside you can barely breathe, but as the ceremony began, storm clouds began to roll in and you could hear thunder in the distance, the weather cooled off, then just as we started bridal party photos, the wind picked up, and you could see lightening strikes way off in the background, clouds were getting darker, but I kept shooting and they were all for it! They were so much fun to work with, everyone was.

Due to the weather, there was a bad accident on the highway coming in, so the minister didn’t make it until the middle of the ceremony, so the mother of the groom officiated the first half of the wedding and it was simply beautiful!
