Dallas Wedding Photographers: Staci’s Bridals |Fort Worth Botanical Gardens|

Staci and Jeison just tied the knot (yesterday!), so now we finally get to share some of Staci’s gorgeous bridal photos at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. I adore the shabby chic style of these bridals.  Tie-in a billion flowers, a parasol, and pretty sunlight, and it’s just like Staci. It’s SO pretty, and perfect for such a pretty bride. : )

We usually sneak peek fewer photos, but we couldn’t narrow down our favorites, so here’s a summary of some of the ones we love!

Flowers in a bucket for a bridal bouquet? And a cute hair piece? loooove!

Dallas Wedding Photographers: Stacy’s Bridals |Cotton Mill|

We usually have at least a few amazing bridal sessions in the queue, and since our brides haven’t gotten married yet, we have to wait to post their images….and the wait is always impossibly hard! ; ) Stacy did her bridals months ago, and waiting to post them was really hard, because we absolutely love all of her images. She and John tied the knot, so now we can officially share with you some of her bridals- YAY!!

Stacy’s sweet mom wanted to make sure we got some images in the church where Stacy was getting married, so we started at Custer Road United Methodist Church, for some classically gorgeous shots in the sanctuary…

Stacy looked stunning in her Allure Bridals gown from Lulu’s! I love the lace detail and the gorgeous train…

After the church, we headed to the Cotton Mill for some more vintage style photos. How cute are Stacy’s Steve Madden shoes, with their adorable flower clips from Etsy?!

Special thanks to Adrienne at Legacy Salons who did Stacy’s hair and makeup, and Kate over at Stems of Dallas for her lovely bouquet!

Congrats again to Stacy and John! We have had such a great year getting to know you both. Stacy, you are one of the sweetest gals around, and you looked absolutely stunning on your wedding day! Have fun in the Caribbean you two! :)

Sneak Peek! Tina’s Bridals at The Meyerson Symphony Center and The Adolphus

Happy Tuesday!

We haven’t been blogging lately, because we’ve had some server issues, and we’ve switched things around with the introduction of our new website. I didn’t think I’d ever miss blogging, but after a while, blogs pile up and you get really behind and yes, you miss being organized!

So, it’s good to be back to blogging. : ) Over the next few weeks, we will do our best to catch up with some of the lovely couples, engagements, news, bridals, weddings, etc.

We thought we’d start off this fabulous Tuesday by giving you a sneak peek of one of our recent bridal sessions. Tina just got married, so now we can share some of our favorite photos from her session at the Meyerson Symphony Center and the Adolphus. We loved the different looks from the sleek, modern Meyerson, to the romantic elegance of the Adolphus.  Special thanks to Lauren Anselmo at the Meyerson, and Jessica Cates from the Adolphus- you ladies were so accommodating and made sure our bride had a blast!

We hope you enjoy the photos!

To see more of Anthony and Monica’s engagement session, and her bridals, go on over to the blog and while you’re there, check out the amazing magazine (and the only one!) that caters to African American brides. It’s really something, ladies, and I’m loving it!! : )

Sneak Peek: Arlene’s Bridals

Arlene’s bridals are Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous.

We love it when brides have their own idea of what they like and they work with us to achieve their look. Arlene knew she wanted something classy, yet simple; gorgeous, yet modern.

We can’t say enough about how classy and stylish Arlene is. At least, I can’t- and Matt has heard me go on and on about how I LOVE her style! So, it’s been pretty hard to wait to post her images until now, but since the wedding was yesterday, we’re finally able to post. We hope you enjoy this preview…and be sure to check back for more!

Cheers!

Sneak Peek – Monica’s Bridals

Wow! That’s all I can say. Monica and Anthony had one of the most unique, beautiful weddings we’ve ever photographed. We can’t wait to share their fabulous story… and pictures… with you! Monica also had a gorgeous bridal session, which of course we haven’t been allowed to share while we waited on their wedding date to arrive.

Monica loves the outdoors – gardens, flowers, and all things pretty. So we think it’s fitting that her bridal session started in a field of wildflowers…

Here’s the first sneak peek – more to come soon!

Monica’s lovely mom helped her pick out her shoes. How fabulous are these?!

Joy’s Bridals at Las Colinas

We shot Joy’s bridal photos on a gorgeous, sunny day. Our first stop (with an awesome area) actually had to be abandoned, because there was a rather large dog who had made his home in the parking lot and didn’t want to move (hey, he was kind of nice looking, but we didn’t want to take a chance).  So we skipped out on that one and headed over to a favorite of Dallas’ brides- the Canals in Las Colinas!

Beautiful bride, beautiful location, beautiful dress… enjoy!

Camron’s Bridals – by Ivy Weddings

Wow, are we behind! We just now are getting around to posting Camron’s pictures, and going through them again makes us remember all the things we loved from this bridal session. Camron came to us for a “2nd Chance Bridal” –  a time when a bride who didn’t get the bridal photos she wanted, gets another chance to be a diva for a day… and get those amazing shots in the amazing dress. We LOVE these sessions, because we get to be creative and try new things. Camron was a natural (who used to model, score!)- so time flew photographing her, and ended the awesome session at Starbucks where we all got a latte.

Can you ask for a better shoot? ; )

We still can’t decide which ones are our favorites from her bridal session in the Arts District.

Pretty Lady + Posh Surroundings = Stunning photos.

Camron Bridal Portraits 001

The colors in this escalator shot are the kind of colors we LOVE…

Camron Bridal Portraits 003a

Another favorite from the escalator series. If you look closely, you can see a work truck parked on the lower level. Can’t tell you how many work men came by during the shoot who ohh-ed and ahh-ed about the pretty girl on the escalator …and her pretty dress! ; ) They were great to let us cut into the flow of traffic and get these awesome shots!
