This entire experience began with a meeting where we sat down and met with Kimberly and her Mom. We were big fans of hers from that very first moment and we were super excited to be picked to shoot their wedding! The wedding ceremony was held at Samuel Lynne Gallerieswhich was an excellent back drop for the occasion. We love every detail Kimberly & Clint put together for this wedding…..all the way down to the donut bar to wrap up the reception!

Here’s a few of our faves. Congratulations guys! We’re going to miss you :)

The wedding was held at the wonderful Piazza in the Village in Colleyville and everything was amazing. The Piazza staff, the decor, the cakes, ALL OF IT! With this couple & this venue, taking beautiful pictures was easy ;) The reception was one of my all time favorites! Bre & Kyle’s friends and family are tons of fun and the reception pictures show it…lol. We took some really great pics!

We’re going to miss spending time with Kyle & Breanne but we hope to see them again when they start their own family :)

We tried to limit the number of favorites, but we have so many! Congratulations!

Most of Shreeti’s family lives in England so we’re quite excited that we have a place to stay if we ever visit London! We really enjoyed being a part of this special wedding and we LOVE Shreeti & Jon’s pictures.

View a few of our faves below!

We’re going to start things off with the wonderful wedding of Brandi & Jason! They were married at the Freedom Life Chapel which was very special to these two so it made the wedding day just perfect! The reception was held at the Royal Affairs Ballroom in Lewisville, Texas.

We had a great time with these two on their wedding day and things turned out amazing!! Congratulations!

We were wrapping up Breanne & Kyle’s wedding and came across these two pictures as they were driving away from the Piazza in the Village in Colleyville. We just love them!

Larissa took one and I took the other. More of this entire wedding to come soon.

I love this shot Larissa took!

Oscar, a restaurant owner, and Louizza, a Harvard graduate in Anthropology who works on cancer research, both wanted their wedding to be in Mexico. Due to certain circumstances, that was not going to be possible. We think someone upstairs must really favor these two, because given the circumstances, they still had the most unbelievable wedding day. First, a convent that NEVER has weddings, (some nuns call it home now, they were watching the football game in the back, lol), let them come in on a Sunday to have their wedding, and believe me, they are the most beautiful grounds you have ever seen! Completely surrounded by trees, you would never know that this location is here.

We had so many great shots from this wedding, we had to do their portraits in a separate post, click here to view their portraits from their wedding day!

Here are our favorites from the day!

I love this shot from Chavvon, I just had to post it first ;)

I love this… that’s his mom in the background. Good job Chavvon , love it. ;)

Ok, let me share something with you. This little area where Louizza was getting ready was about 317 degrees. It was soooo hot!! Luckily, we had to crack a door open to breathe, and it let in the most beautiful light! Really, when I look at these pictures, I swear she must have been sweating powder because her skin looks flawless! So funny, I was probably as shiny and wet as a metal slide on the playground when it’s raining. LOL!

Yay!! Finally a “steal away” session!! We have been waiting for this!! It was a full moon, and we were on the lake. :)

Dan & Katie have a great relationship and you can tell how crazy Dan is about his girl!! It’s really great to be around :)

We try to not do marathon blog posts, but with this wedding, it’s impossible! They were married at the wonderful St. Jude Catholic Church and the reception was held at Fairview Farms, a unique rustic location oozing with creativity!!!

We have tons of pictures of these little guys….they were great!


















These two are always in trouble!! even on their wedding day! :)


We could take pictures of Dan & Katie all day long. Love these!






Bling..Bling!!

I know that we just said in the last entry that we hate to do marathon blogging, but you will have to excuse us on this one. This entry is only the portraits! This couple was amazing! Photogenic, genuine, fun, and LOVED to take pictures!! They gave us an entire hour and a half to take pictures of just the two of them after the ceremony! This doesn’t even include the portraits that we took during the “steal away session” at the reception!

Here are some of our absolute favorites! We will be posting the wedding soon!

Wow, wow, wow!! This location, a hidden convent in Dallas, had the most awesome corridor of trees with the BEST lighting!! We could have stayed there all evening!

Great shot Chavvon! Here is his perspective below…

Here is my perspective from the front…

They really wanted to stop at their favorite hangout in Dallas which is a cute pizza place called Eno’s.

Those cans were so LOUD!!! So funny!

With a beautiful bride, good looking groom, and a vintage car, it’s very hard not getting awesome pictures! Here’s one we like with many more to come soon!

So, what do you think it means if it is torrential downpours and flashflooding, and to go along with it, some tornado sirens? This couple is so genuine, and so in love, I’d say it means they don’t need any luck! We brought our “cute umbrellas” to get some cute rainy shots, but there was no chance of that! I must say though, for our first wedding with Tornado warnings and flooding, everything still turned out great, and through it all, Julie and Lance really remained calm and relaxed through the day.

Throughout the day it was obvious what 2 things were most important to the bride and groom, their love for each other and their love for God. So many friends and family to be a part of such a special day, and then the most awesome party to end the night! The reception was at the Adolphus in Dallas, with entertainment being provided by Signed, Sealed, and Delivered, an 8 piece live band. Chavvon and I decided that if we renew our vows in 5 years, (15 year anniversary), we are hiring this group! From 80′s songs to current music today, they were awesome!

What do you get when you have a bride, a groom, 10 bridesmaids, 7 house party guest, 10 groomsmen, and 300 friends and family? A big wedding day! Sorry for the long blog post everyone, it was just too hard to cut it back any more than I already did, we had so many great moments from this day! Congratulations Julie and Lance, it has been so wonderful getting to know you both!

8 piece band Signed, Sealed, and Delivered!

The band brought all of the props, hats, glasses, gold chains, etc. It really got everyone going! Hilarious!

“If you like it then you should’a put a ring on it!”

Tracy and Jim got married at the Richardson Women’s Club, which by the way, despite its name, was very charming! We were so pleasantly surprised by the charm of this place, with creaky wood floors, gorgeous old lead bay windows, and the cutest antique furnishings. It really set the tone for the perfect intimate setting that the couple was wanting. Congratulations Tracy and Jim! Thanks for allowing us to be a part of it!

As photographers, we love “first look” sessions before a wedding. Believe me, I can understand why a bride would not want their future husband to see them before the ceremony, but as photographers we LOVE it! It allows us so much time to take some great shots of the bride and groom seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day, which we otherwise could not do. When we do a “first look” session, we can choose the location based on the best lighting, which enables us to get the best pics! Not to mention, we can get plenty of close-ups which we can not do during the ceremony. Now, I said all of that to say this, when Tracy and Jim said they wanted a “first look” session, we were really happy. :)

We found the perfect lighting to grab this shot, she looks amazing!

These girls were troopers! Chavvon and I wanted to get some shots by a small wooded area by the lake, so they walked through the grass with no shoes, that way no mud would get on their heels!! Thanks ladies!

By the way, if you didn’t notice, the father of the bride is also the pastor. So sweet. He did such a wonderful job, one of the best weddings I have ever heard.

The staff at Paradise Cove was awesome!!! They are some of the the most organized, and prepared venues we have ever worked at! They truly go above and beyond, for example, they brought the wedding party coctails to enjoy before and during the photographs.

Congratulations Brenda & Brandon. We are so happy to have been a part of your special day! Here’s some of our favorites from the day.

Here’s a few pics from the day.

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!!

We had an amazing time getting to know all of the family and friends and these two are blessed to have such a great group of people surrounding them. Check back soon to see the whole wedding!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

We got lots of great shots, but here’s just a few. Many, many more will come soon!

Oh by the way…Alex and Jennifer can do a mad robot!…lol If you need a Dallas Texas Wedding Photographer, please contact us! (we travel to other cities as well)

The Robot! go Alex! Go Jennifer! :)

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. :)

Here’s a sneak peek with many more to come! (*update: view the full wedding here!)

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!

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’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!

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!

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!
