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 […]

One of the best aspects of being a wedding photographer is the opportunity to meet so many incredible people, and to create lasting bonds with them.

Oh, what a day! An intimate at-home wedding with their dogs as their wedding party…my heart. My whole heart!! (If you’ve never seen a dog wearing a tux with your own eyes, you need to change that as soon as possible. These pictures will help, but you truly need to experience this magic in person […]

Heather and Jason’s Tarrant County Courthouse elopement took place on their 18 year dating anniversary on their lunch break from work.

Chris and Nick’s Dallas Elopement took place at a park in Arlington called the Drying Beds. They take frequent trips there to walk and let their dog (and honorary bridal party member) Caju run around and play freely. I love that they chose such a personal location – so when they return they always have […]
