Engaged: Stephen & Katie

Soooo romantic! Stephen proposed to Katie in Venice, so for their engagement photos we decided to go to the Mandalay Canal and then to the Mustangs sculptures (where their wedding reception will be held this summer) and then we went to this overlook with a great view of the Dallas skyline. Vanessa came along for this session, and I loved having her.

We got lots of cool shots, here are some of my favorites:

Awwww!

I got this from one of my favorite photographer's blog, Anne Ruthmann.

It's also one of my favorite shows! So sweet!

Wedding: Rene' & Chris

Ceremony: Marty Leonard Chapel
Reception: The Worthington Hotel


I got to hang with Rene' from about 20 minutes after she woke up the morning of her wedding to almost to the end of the wedding reception. I was exhausted, but I was totally excited because I just knew we got some great shots!

The flowers were amazing (I wish I could remember the name of her florist!), they had a great band play at their reception and their ballroom was beautiful. But my favorite part of the whole day was when Chris and Rene' were declared man and wife and were just about to kiss, Chris stopped and whispered something to Renee, none of us heard what he said, but I am getting goosebumps just thinking about it. It was so romantic! Vanessa and I just looked at each other and had a moment ourselves! It was beautiful.

There are so many favorites, we are having a tough time narrowing them down for the album!

I love this shot!

Engaged: Tricia & Robert

Robert is totally one of my favorite grooms for 08. He is hilarious and you can just tell he loves Tricia so much, he is always trying to get her to laugh.

We hung out in downtown Fort Worth and then on to the Stockyards for their engagement session. I love shooting these because it really gives me a chance to get to know my couples and for them to get to know me a little better. Thus helping them to feel comfortable in front of my camera. It's a win-win, you see!

On to what you came to see! (I hope!)

Engaged: Tobi & Justin

Such sweet chemistry between these two. We laughed our way through downtown Grapevine and before we knew it the sun started to set. Cool story: Justin travels a lot for work and on one of his connecting flights he decided not to get off the plane. Well, some lady sits next to him and talks his ear off. At first he tries to ignore her and then he realizes it's Diane Keaton!!! Ha! I love her... Well, I love her films, I don't know her personally (like Justin and all) but I like most of her films! :)

Tobi and Justin will be having their ceremony and reception at the Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth in March - Can't wait!
