Whitney’s Rustic Bridals

We shot Whitney’s bridals across the street from her house. She recently moved, and loved her neighbors property, so she put on her boots, and walked over one day and kindly asked the horse boarder if she wouldn’t mind us using her property for her bridal shoot. Her kind neighbor gave us the “go” and poof we had our location. I suggested Whitney get in touch with my friend Rita over at Rent My Dust and she scored this beautiful fainting sofa. It really added a lot to the look of the shoot and helped Whitney’s vision come to life. See, you can shoot bridals in the middle of January in Texas!

Sara and Joey’s Mansfield Wedding

As I previously mentioned, Sara and Joey’s wedding was filled with amazing details and personal touches. The colors just popped in the crisp October sky. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

Every wedding there’s a part where I cry. This wasn’t the part where I cried (surprisingly), but it is the part where Sara cried. She and Joey didn’t want to see each other prior to the wedding, but did decide to touch one another around the corner of this big column and talk to each other for just a minute. It was such an intimate moment and there was a point where I stepped back even further (I was already shooting from a ways a way) and just let them have a moment.
This would be the part where I cried. See their minister, was talking about how marriage is the ultimate grand pas de deux-(ballet dance for two). She spoke in terms that Sara immediately connected with on a deep level. It was just this moment of definition and clarity–of every point of their lives coming to this one. The breeze picked up and time seemed to stand still.I loved this shot by Megan… apparently both Sara’s Mom and Dad were taken with this moment, too.
This was a fun one from the VERY last private dance. Could the night end any more perfectly?

Sara’s whimsical bridals at Aristide

Sara and Joey’s wedding was amazing. There were so many hand-made unique details, it was a photographer’s dream. I’ll be posting images from the wedding next, but for now, I get to FINALLY post up her bridals—I’ve been chomping at the bits for this!

I knew from the get-go when I met Sara that that I wanted to shoot her and Joey’s wedding. Right when she said “kinda of a carnival-elephant type theme—with colors of pink, turquoise, and red…” I knew she was a girl with a vision! I admitted to her I really secretly wanted to do bridals in the style of Resse Witherspoon for Vogue (A Day at the Circus) and blabbed on and on about it at her consultation. Later, I wondered if she would think I were a bit cooky for it.

Anyway, she must’ve not thought I was too crazy and decided we would be a good fit. Then… it got better… I was privy to the information that Sara would have a two piece dress. The longer skirt would cover up the shorter dress and she’d wear that until after the first dance, when she planned to take off the skirt and surprise her groom with a sassy (and oh so gorgeous!) party dress. So many fun details! Her Mom even made her headpiece! Can I also just mention Sara’s amazing shoes and her amazing ballet trained legs. Sigh.

Some of my signature “dress in movement.” I love that it shows the hint of her shorter skirt underneath!

Martha Gasson - So glad when the secret about her dress came out that you could finally publish pictures from her amazing bridal shoot.November 17, 2011 – 6:18 am

Jason + Lindsay’s Plano Wedding

Via Valencia. Yep, that’s how I know Jason. We go WAY back. We lived across the street from each other from the time I was in Kindergarten-the summer before 3rd grade. I remember plenty of nights running a muck. You know back the day, how children from a neighborhood were like a tiny gang and could pretty much just run around. I wish I knew then just how magical that ideal was. Jason and I ended up at the same middle school and high school, but must’ve run in different crowds by then. We reconnected via FB leading up to our high school reunion. When he and Lindsay got engaged,  it wasn’t long before Jason inquired via Facebook Message.

It was super fun for me to meet Lindsay and hear about their plans for the wedding. Jason and I have the common denominator of losing our Dads and Lindsay’s whole vintage, laid back vibe helped us form a instant connection which we built on during their engagement session at White Rock Lake. This wedding truly represents the key factor that all my clients have in common. Photography is really important to them. They weren’t having a huge wedding, but they knew this was the one area, where having someone who cared about their day on a more personal level was important. I was honored to be chosen for the job. It was quite surreal to be there for such a momentous occasion for someone I knew when I was 5 years old.

Here are a few of my favorite moments.

I’m always impressed with tropper MOH’s…who are preggers. I think this one captures Lindsay’s goofy spirit!
Whoa. We grew up. I remember Jason as looking like the 5 year old version of this guy!
I was pretty far away when this moment occurred, but Jason spotted his older brother who recently survived a bad accident and made it to the wedding. It was a special moment for him to see him there.
Right before their trip down the aisle.
Lindsay walked with both her brother and Dad.
I always love how a couple looks at each other right after the ceremony.
This cutey pie wasn’t a fan of all the loud cheering.
My favorite cake topper ever. Couldn’t be a more perfect fit for them!
Hysterical moment in one of the funnier best man speeches. Bucky (also of our childhood street gang) stated that it would be best if all the people who had keys to Jason’s place would return them now that he’s married to Lindsay… and the parade of folks came up to return their keys.
Including the officer from outside who was there simply because they were serving alcohol.
Totally sweet moment during speeches where Jason’s Mom and Lindsay’s Mom were holding hands looking at their kids with such joy.

Lindsay’s Bridals in her Mom’s dress {gasp!}

First, I’d like to start with Lindsay’s rocking bridal session! First, it absolutely must be mentioned that Lindsay decided what few brides these days do–to wear a family dress. Yep, she wanted to wear the gown her great grandmother sewed for her own Mom. BUT… it needed updating (she wasn’t sure she could rock a full to the neck-longsleeve combo). I love how they cut the neckline and made a collar of sorts. It was pretty special and I know it meant a lot to her Mom to see her in that dress. I am a total nostalgic sap. It’s true. It’s really what I love most about my work, the sense of history and legacy. So, I was pretty excited about photographing her in this family dress–and totally rocking it out.

Lindsay, was pretty nervous and didn’t exactly know how she would “model” when we first started. I just told her what I Tell every.single.bride… relax and just be yourself, I’ll get us where we need to be. And just.like.that this happened!
