Erica’s bridals at the Dallas Arboretum

Erica was married on January 3, 2020, now I can share her gorgeous bridals at The Dallas Arboretum. We shot these very recently and I was able to quickly get them edited and back to her so she could use some for her reception. 🙂

These are just a few of my favorites!

Emily & Kat – Oct. 19, 2019

Kathryn and Emily met in February 2016 and the two got engaged on October 6, 2018. Emily does not like surprises, and never has. Kathryn is really sentimental and likes all things relating to love so after a couple of years together, Emily starting getting nervous about the possibility of a proposal. Instead of waiting for a surprise that she would absolutely despise (only because of the surprise, not the proposal itself) Emily decided that planning their proposals to each other would meet both of their needs. Emily and Kathryn spent a few weeks planning the “perfect” proposal. Emily’s friends and family from out of state flew in for the event and they pair alongside their friends and family found a perfect spot “to propose.” They went to Grapevine Lake, exchanged rings and proposal letters, while the sun was setting behind them. After the proposal they went to their favorite Mexican food spot for tacos, margaritas, and live music.

A note from the bride:

We met at III Forks through mutual friends. Our first Valentines together was at III Forks. Our wedding HAD to be at III Forks. On New Years Eve 2018 4 couples went to Broken Bow Oklahoma and rented a cabin. We just relaxed and hung out and cooked all weekend. At midnight on New Years Eve around a bon fire, Trevor was toasting to the new year and “our song” started playing on some ones phone and he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. He told me that he had gotten the permission of all 3 of my kids and my dads permission.

A note from the bride:

Cody & I met at our best friends gender reveal.  They are our matron of honor and best man. He took me for a walk in the middle of December and it was cold and I was cranky. Then about 10 minutes into our walk I saw a sign that said “Brooke will you marry me?” Then he got down on one knee and a photographer came out of the woods and got pictures of me saying yes. We had a small engagement photo shoot.

 

 

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!

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!

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.

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!
