John & Cristina’s engagement sneak peeks

Posted on by admin

It was like straight out of the movie Forrest Gump…

Jenny Curran: Why are you so good to me?
Forrest Gump: You’re my girl!
Jenny Curran: [pause] I’ll always be your girl.

From the couple:

John and I met 5 years ago, November 2012. At the time I was going to college in Richmond, VA but my parents were living in Texas. I was home on thanksgiving break for a total of 3 days and John and I met during that visit home. We actually met while temporarily working at Victoria’s Secret, were folding yoga pants in the stock room, ha!! I Facebook creeped John the night we met, exchanged phone numbers via Facebook and the rest is history….

John proposed 4 years later on Christmas Eve surrounded by our parents, his grandmother, sister and nephew. He was home on a 2 week leave from the Marine Corps training pipeline which lasted a total of 8 months.

Our wedding is August 26, 2017 at the Piazza in the Village in Colleyville, TX. This was the first venue we ever visited and immediately fell in love with the it upon entering the Chapel. At Last by Etta James was playing and I got tears in my eyes. After our tour at the Piazza they rang the wedding bells from the venue’s tower and knew in that moment that we had to get married there! Our wedding will incorporate a few Romanian traditions, as my side of the family including myself is from Romania!

We can’t wait for our #bigfatromericanwedding !!

 

 

Carrie’s bridals at the Castle!

Posted on by admin

Carrie & Willis said “I do” on July 15, 2017 in Mexico, ME.

I was referred to the groom via Facebook and when Carrie called to schedule her bridals she was interested in a more elegant and classy style, on top of some stairs, in front of double doors, or in a field. She’s from East Texas and just recently moved local so she wasn’t familiar with anything around. I knew the perfect venue right away, made a phone call and set up a date/time.

She was just stunning. These are just some of our favorites from the session in May!

Venue – The Castle at Rockwall
Dress – Terry Costa
Makeup – The Mac Store
Bouquet – Bride’s mother
Jewelry – Bride’s Grandmother’s

As I learned more about her, I was so intrigued! She and her twin sister have been professional body builders for some time. Check out this video below from 2015, seriously impressive! Willis was also into body building for a while and competitions.

The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is so green around this time, it was the perfect morning for an engagement session. We started around 10:45am and there was hardly anyone around.

Dannielle & JR’s wedding at Southfork Ranch

Posted on by admin

What a wedding!! Wow!

How about a wedding at Southfork Ranch, remember the TV show Dallas? “Who shot JR”? What’s funny is, that’s the grooms name!

It was the perfect day on the ranch, we started out with getting ready and detail shots, the ceremony was breathtaking, an incredible backdrop then family photos, headed outdoors for bridal party pics close to sunset and talk about a photographer’s dream! I was in heaven! The bride was so fun, she and one of her girls wanted photos in the fake graveyard, seriously awesome!

The decor in the reception area was stunning, the food was amazing and the cakes, well let’s just say I had too much! SOOOOO good! Every vendor did a fantastic job, we probably took close to 1,000 photos or more so to choose the ones for the previews here was incredibly difficult! These are my favorites 🙂
