Bridal: Lauren (Finally!!!)

I love Lauren. There is no other way to put it. Her and Cooper have become dear friends since they first walked into my studio last year. And since Efra and I shot their wedding last night and Cooper finally got see Lauren's in all her bridal gorgeousness I can share my favorites from her bridal portrait session!

Let me also say that I LOVE these. I was so excited when I finished editing them! I love that she looks amazing, just so glamorous. But if you knew her you would know that she is the most down-to-earth, unassuming person. Its exciting to be able to bring out the model in my brides!

I couldn't pick one from the following three so here they all are!

I may have to blow this one up for the studio...

There was a lady in one of the shops that was checking out the shoot. Had to get a pic of that!

Engaged: John & Meagan

My first e-session in a little while! Gosh, I love shooting these!

John and Meagan are so cute, they were so easy. They were open to my ideas and even though John was a little shy for some of the shots (ok there was a mini marathon going on within a few yards of us...) they were awesome and we got some great shots!

We shot these at a park near their home, the ones by the white fence are some of my favorites. Hope you love these Meagan!

Me & Will

Heather had a photo booth at her wedding and Will and I may have gone in there to "document" the fun. Yeah, we had to try it.I crack me up sometimes. :)

Wedding: Heather & Brian

When Heather first contacted me to see if I was available to shoot her wedding, she said "I don't know if you remember me but I was the maid of honor at Leila & Cary's wedding last year and now it's my turn to get married and would love to have you be the photographer". I so knew who she was! I was so excited to have her date available! She's fabulous!

The ladies at A Stylish Soiree did a beautiful job with her flowers and we got to work with one of our favorite video guys, Will.

This reception was hopping! We had so much fun!

Heather got three rings from Brian!

Brian's ring.

Heather's grandfather's ring. She wore it inside her dress.YUM.

On the way to the reception, we stopped to see Heather's grandfather. I shot as much as I could before I had to stop.

Heather & Brian have a moment during her dad's welcome speech.

There were way too many great dancing shots! Here is a little taste...

Wedding: Shelby & Kevin

I am just so lucky to have the sweetest clients.

Vanessa and I just love this family, we had so much fun from the moment we arrived at the church and really could have stayed a little bit longer at the end of the night. I loved how Shelby just brings out the funny man in Kevin, we got so many shots of them just being goofy with each other and enjoying their beautiful wedding.

Their reception was at Fort Worth's Ashton Depot and if you are looking for a reception (and ceremony!) venue you should definetely take a look. It was awesome!

Something about this one just makes me smile.

The groom's room had all this great marriage wisdom on the wall.
The guys give me their idea of the GQ look.

Shelby's grandparents. They were so lovey and actually won the anniversary dance game.

An "alone" moment after the ceremony.Kevin & Shelby had some quick laughs before being joined after the ceremony by the rest of the wedding party.

This flag was right outside she church. I snapped it really quick and now I really like this pic.

First Dance!

LOVE this one.

And this one.

They had these little squares on every table setting for their guests to leave them a message on. Shelby's mom will be making her a quilt with all the messages!
