After photographing weddings at the Tarrant County Courthouse for twelve years and counting, I’m here to tell you it’s 100% possible to have a stress free and budget friendly wedding day while also receiving beautiful portraits to cherish for years to come. I greatly appreciate that while some couples are opting for smaller, more intimate […]
Mark and Mikaela are two thoughtful, real, genuine people. The couple are both nurses, and they brought their care and kindness with them into their wedding planning. They’re both half Mexican, so they incorporated their culture by including a mariachi band! They also brought in their history as a couple by using real playbills from […]
Jennifer and Brett’s wedding was an intimate affair with 60 guests. Their ceremony was at the beautiful Marty Leonard Community Chapel in Fort Worth, followed by a reception at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth – one of my favorite spaces! Jennifer wanted a colorful wedding and made it happen with details like flowers […]
Natalie and Taunya got married at Artspace 111, one of my absolute favorite venues in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. With 40 guests, they had a wonderfully small wedding under the stars, complete with a tree illuminated with twinkling lights. The whole day felt a little magical: a butterfly landed on Taunya’s head during portraits, and […]
Carolina and Stephen’s luxury elopement really showcased the qualities of weddings I love to photograph: small, personal, and full of love. The ceremony and reception took place at the historic Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas and was full of sweet, beautiful details. From the white peonies and orchids in Carolina’s bouquet to the […]
Toni Rose and Brian tied the knot in April 2021 at Arrowwood Events. It was a hot and humid Texas spring day that still turned out beautifully and very them, in keeping with their progressive and anti-racist ideals. Their wedding was small and personal, with only close friends and family in attendance. The whole day […]
Gabby and Brandon, like many couples, had to adjust their plans thanks to a global pandemic. They’d originally postponed their courthouse wedding, but at the last minute they decided to go ahead and get married at the same park where we took their engagement shots—and where Brandon proposed! I had so much fun with Gabby […]
Valerie and Andrew’s courthouse wedding perfectly combined the intimacy of a small courthouse ceremony and a celebration with their wider circle of friends and family. They decided to be flexible in their planning, something I totally admire as we all navigate this time of uncertainty. Valerie and Andrew are high school sweethearts. They’d lost […]
Gabby and Brandon’s engagement photos were taken at the same garden where Brandon proposed! Brandon and Gabby showed up completely authentic and true to themselves for the session: they wore their favorite band t-shirt and ate a sushi picnic from their favorite restaurant, complete with a champagne toast. Capturing people in those moments right as […]
Amy and Nikki’s elopement took place on Halloween 2020, just the right date for their wedding filled with personal touches. I love how this couple made their elopement completely their own. Nikki’s mom officiated, and Amy rocked her green hair. Her bouquet’s orange flowers fit perfectly with this cool autumn day. Being an inclusive […]
