Cristina & John’s Romerican Wedding

Posted on by admin

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 was on 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 incorporated a few Romanian traditions, as my side of the family including myself is from Romania!

We loved our #bigfatromericanwedding !!

From the bride:
We met through my father; we joke that he sold me off to David. My dad was military and had to relocate. He trusted David, a guy I’ve never met, to make sure I was doing fine and if i ever needed anything, he would then help. Eventually I asked him out on our first 3 dates. Great job, dad! Haha
We planned the wedding on our own with the help of friends and family. Kudos to wedding planners, this is the most stressful job ever.
Everything turned out better than expected honestly! Though it was 1000 degrees outside, none of us passed out, so that’s a win in our book!

Lori & Bert’s brunch wedding previews at the Orion Ballroom

From the couple:

Valentines Day 2015, we met at Whiskey Cake and that’s where Olive it began. He ended up buying me lunch and marveled at how I finished my salmon but also talked the entire time. It didn’t feel like a first date, it was completely effortless and I walked away that day knowing in my gut that I had just met my husband.

Thankfully the feeling was mutual and we’ve been together ever since. We bonded with our mutual love of paranormal television shows, good food, corny humor and our undying devotion to our children. We may be blended but the love in our little family is as pure as it gets. We are the luckiest.

In the photos you will notice a precious little baby, the dress she is wearing was Lori’s. How sweet is that??

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 🙂
