Christi & Ari’s Mira Vista Wedding | Fort Worth Wedding Photographer

Larissa — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 19:32:53 +0000

It is rare for our clients to book us without a consultation or conference call, simply because we encourage it so that we can get to know our clients as well, so I must say when we met Christi and Ari, we were so pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed spending the day with them! They were laid back and grateful, enjoying each moment as the day went on. It never gets old seeing a bride and groom look at each other on their wedding day. There is something so exciting and also tender about it. Christi and Ari wanted to do a “first look” session before the wedding, and we were so excited about that also. They didn’t want to take any time between the ceremony and reception for photos, so we handled all of that beforehand. Since we did it beforehand, we had extra time to get some great shots at the most beautiful home!

One of our favorite moments of the day, was when we were with all of the ladies in the master bedroom getting the “getting ready” shots. Ari’s family is from Lithuania, and his parents do not speak English, so there was a language barrier between the families. It was inspiring to me to see, even without speaking to one another, the mothers of the bride and groom showing each other so much affection toward each other. Helping each other get ready, telling each other they look fantastic, hugging – it was so touching. Without saying a word, the groom’s mother was a big part of getting her new daughter-in-law ready to marry her son, and you could tell she was so happy that they were getting married.

We knew this house was going to be nice. The bride had told us just a few details of the home, and we were really excited about this wedding! As we rounded the corner and the house was in sight, we realized, we had no idea just how nice! We looked at each other and smiled, then went ahead and parked. We have been in some huge houses, but we have realized that just because a house is big, it does not mean that it will be decorated nicely or have an interior to match the exterior. Hoping that the interior was equally as beautiful as the outside, we walked to the front door and boy were we in for a surprise… it was better!! Antiques, chandeliers, and hand painted murals, gold moldings, stone floors, and magnificent furniture, this home was better than any venue anywhere!!

Chavvon — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 04:16:35 +0000

Bri & Josh are married and we love their pictures!! I feel like I say this on every blog post, but we have the most amazing clients. The couples that choose us to shoot their weddings are truly amazing. Brianne and Josh are one of those couples that Larissa and I could spend hours and hours just hanging out with. They’re laid back and lots of fun to be around!

Their wedding at Timarron Country Club in Southlake fit their personalities perfectly. They day went practically flawlessly and Bri & Josh have a great group of family and friends surrounding them. We really had a good time getting to know everyone. The wedding was lots of fun with the guests staying on the dance floor ALL.NIGHT.LONG! The pictures tell it all!

It was so hard cutting this blog post down to a reasonable number of pictures! They’re all so good! Here are our favorites from the day!

Bri & Josh: Sneak Peek at Timarron | Wedding Photographer

Chavvon — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 03:36:07 +0000

Brianne & Josh were married this weekend at the wonderful Timarron Country Club and the wedding couldn’t have been better! Larissa and I have been partial to these two since the first time we met. We talked for hours at our initial meeting so we knew shooting their wedding day would be lots of fun. All their family and friends had a great time dancing the night away and Bri & Josh couldn’t have looked better!

Everyone knows how hot Texas summers can be, so we were praying for a break in the heat. As soon as the ceremony was scheduled to start, a perfect set of clouds rolled in and cooled things off nicely! We couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Here’s a few of our favorites from the day with many more to come soon! Congratualations Brianne & Josh!

Mark & Maddy’s Wonderful Country Wedding | Dallas Wedding

Chavvon — Fri, 28 May 2010 01:26:57 +0000

This weekend, Larissa and I went to Mansfield (just south of Dallas, TX) to photograph an amazing wedding. Mark’s family has a great place in the country and allowed this wonderful couple to have their wedding there! The trees, endless wildflowers, and beautiful simplicity was the perfect setting for this wedding. We could have taken Mark & Madeline away for hours with all the scenery we had to work with.

Both families were awesome to work with and we got some great pictures right from the start.

Below are our favorites from the day. Congratulations Mark & Maddy!

Mark & Maddy’s Country Wedding {A Peek}

Chavvon — Sun, 23 May 2010 18:55:16 +0000

Mark & Madeline had the most beautiful country wedding in a suburb near Dallas, TX called Mansfield this weekend! Both families were amazing and we had a great time getting to know everyone. The simplicity was perfect for the occasion and the entire day was all about Mark & Madeline. Here’s a couple of pics from the day with many more to come!

Eric & Annalisa’s Houstonian Wedding | Wedding Photography

Chavvon — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 01:14:02 +0000

Eric & Anna Lisa had the most beautiful wedding in Houston, Texas! Every little detail was perfectly placed and the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart and the Manor House at the Houstonian was the perfect setting for this wedding. From the personal wedding cakes placed at each table to the beautiful flower arrangements perfectly placed through-out the day.

As we heard from all the friends and family close to Eric and Anna Lisa through-out the day, the common theme among everyone is that Eric and Anna Lisa knew what they were looking for. Not just anyone would do, and they were patient in finding that exactly perfect person for each of them. It shows through their love for each other. When they’re in each other’s presence, the atmosphere oozes with love…lol It was great getting to know these two over the last few months and we know they’re going to have a wonderful life together.

Congratulations Eric and Anna Lisa! See our favorites from the day below.

Eric & Anna Lisa’s Houstonian Wedding! | A Sneak Peek…

Larissa — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 13:41:26 +0000

Here is a sneak peek from this past weekend! From the beautiful ceremony at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart with its towering ceilings, to the perfectly manicured gardens of the Manor House at the Houstonian for the reception, this wedding was gorgeous. We can’t wait to reveal the rest of the pictures!

Alex & Jennifer’s Mansion at Judges Hill Wedding | Wedding Photographer

Chavvon — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 02:34:04 +0000

Congratulations Alex and Jennifer, you’re married! This weekend, we had the honor of photographing Alex and Jennifer’s wedding at the Mansion at Judges Hill in Austin, Texas and it was absolutely stunning! Every little detail was placed to perfectly compliment the southern appeal of the wedding venue.

Jennifer and Alex had to wait for two and a half weeks to see each other before the wedding weekend! Alex is in the Army, and has been in San Antonio while Jennifer has been in Arizona. They did not get to see each other until the day before the wedding which made the weekend even more special.

Mansion at Judges Hill almost has a french quarters appeal to it and Jennifer’s dress matched it perfectly. The intricate molding, hand crafted windows, and southern style furniture set the mood for a union that all the friends and family describe as “perfect”. The wedding was small and intimate to allow Jennifer and Alex to spend time with the family and friends that are closest to them. The Bride’s sister, Kathy, and the groom’s brother, Danny, were the complete wedding party so it gave us plenty of time to take pictures after the wedding.

You have no idea how hard it was keeping this blog entry below 100 pictures! We have so many great pictures from this wedding, but here are some of our favorites. The rest will be going into a beautiful leather album that will last a lifetime!

Emily and Tyler’s Sky Creek Ranch Wedding

Larissa — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 20:47:58 +0000

Let’s face it, weddings can be so incredibly stressful. With all of the money, time, manpower, and talent it takes to pull off the most important event of your life, it is no wonder that many people begin planning many months, sometimes years in advance. Chavvon and I already have a wedding booked for November of 2011! It seems so far away, but really when you think about how quickly things get booked, it is quite close.

When we first heard from Emily and Tyler, which was only a couple months ago, we were so excited that they just wanted a beautifully simple wedding, and they were not into formal shots as far as the photography. They are so in love, and they wanted the day to be about just that, love. No huge, gaudy flower arrangements, no special lighting packages, just two people in love. With help from friends and family, they were able to pull this day together in just a few months! They wanted us to capture the day, which was so simply beautiful!

I must say, we really did enjoy this wedding. From the relaxed jam session in the men’s bathroom where the “fellas” were getting ready, to the young, contemporary pastor who gave the most practical and inspiring words, and even the little ring bearer who was so disappointed when he found out that the rings on the pillow were fake, this wedding just “felt” so good. Tyler is a singer/guitar player, and all of the musicians at the wedding and reception were his friends. How nice is that! When I asked if they do many weddings, they said that this was their first one! The music was perfect for the day, and they did a really great job!

What a great day, it really was nice to be a part of it. :)

Dan and MacKensie’s Day After – Dallas Wedding Photography

Larissa — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:49:28 +0000

We had so much fun in Los Cabos with this awesome couple! We had been hoping that MacKensie would be willing to do a Day After Session, but she didn’t seem to really like the idea….. until her family helped us out!! It was so funny how everyone was really encouraging her to go ahead and get her dress wet! Comments like, ” my dress had been in my attic since my wedding! “, and ” I don’t even know where my dress is! ” were hilarious! So, the night of the wedding, she let us know that she wanted to go ahead and do it. The beach in Cabo is actually small pieces of corral, so in the end, after the corral exfoliation (lol…our feet were killing us), then the chlorine wash, the dress looked like new! It was sooo worth it! Thank you to all of the friends and family that persuaded MacKensie to do this… now you can really see that they had a beautiful beach wedding!

Dan + MacKensie’s Destination Wedding {Hilton, Los Cabos}

Chavvon — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 06:15:03 +0000

We’ve known Dan & MacKensie for a few years. When they told us they were getting married we were pretty excited. At first, they were just going to use the photographer provided by the hotel, but we used some scare tactics to get this wedding job…lol. We couldn’t resist the chance for a destination wedding! Not really…we did their engagement and bridal pictures and they were happy with the results so they asked us to come to Mexico! Yippee!

It was a nice wedding with only Dan & Mackensie’s closest friends, so they really had a chance to spend the whole weekend with people that meant the most to them. The beach in Los Cabos is amazing and the pictures don’t really do it justice, it was so beautiful, we enjoyed it. We had a great time meeting all of Dan and MacKensie’s family and friends and we were honored to be a part of their special day. They’re really surrounded by a good group of family and friends.

We were even able to do a day after shoot. Check it out after you’re done viewing these pics!

Kim + Mark’s Colleyville Wedding!

Chavvon — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:17:27 +0000

Kim and Mark are two very good friends of ours. When they decided to get married we were too excited! The wedding was wonderful and Kim and Mark are surrounded by a great group of family and friends. There was never a dull moment and we had a good time with everyone! We met some great people that we’re sure to keep in touch with. You can view a few of the pics below!

Chaunva & Jamie’s Chapelle Des Fleurs Wedding!

Chavvon — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 22:32:38 +0000

Congratulations! We’re so excited for Chaunva & Jamie. Chaunva’s my sister so I’m kind of partial to this wedding. Everything was beautiful and Chapelle Des Fleurs did an amazing job with everything. They’re located in Flower Mound, Texas so check them out if you want to have your wedding and reception at the same spot. I was in this wedding, so I wasn’t the primary shooter, but I brought my camera and got some really good shots! It was a beautiful wedding so I just couldn’t resist!

Heather & Bert’s Wedding – Covenant Church/The Brewery

Chavvon — Sun, 31 May 2009 20:53:51 +0000

Finally! We took over 2400 pictures at Heather & Bert’s wedding, so it’s taken us some time to get them online and edited. They look awesome! The reception was kind of dark at The Brewery in Dallas, but it had some cool lighting that looks awesome in the pictures!

Heather’s Deep Ellum Bridal Shoot | Dallas Texas Wedding Photographer

Chavvon Larissa — Sat, 16 May 2009 17:00:33 +0000

We had a wonderful time shooting heather’s bridal shoot. She’s married now (congratulations!) so we can finally show her beautiful bridals. She was open to a lot of ideas and we got some traditional and cool/artsy shots as well. We were so excited to get the opportunity to do some more edgy photography, so we went to Deep Ellum for half of the shoot, then went to Turtle Creek for some more traditional shots. We can’t wait until we post Heather’s wedding pics!

Ashley Johnson Bridal Shoot – Dallas Wedding Photography

Chavvon Larissa — Mon, 11 May 2009 13:15:54 +0000

The Dallas Arboretum is one of our favorite spots to do a bridal shoot! There are so many beautiful gardens, fountains, benches… well, I could go on and on! The wind was really fighting us on this day… but it all worked out! They turned out great… and the wind was even a cool effect on her veil on some of the pictures!
