Elizabeth & Cirby

My goodness it has been forever since I have blogged and I can not wait to dive head first back into it. To kick us off welcome to the blog of –

Elizabeth & Cirby!

Elizabeth & Cirby were married on August 28th 2021 in Weatherford, Texas at Trickel Creek. They were surrounded by their closest friends and family. Let’s talk about their wedding details for a moment. Elizabeth’s bridesmaids dress color was so stunning and truly complimented the day all together. Then the pops of red that were in the flowers through out the bouquets and the reception flowers really popped. The men really looked pretty snazzy themselves in their blue tux’s. Elizabeth’s wedding dress was so stunning on its own. From the lace detailing to the simple shimmer that it gave off in the sunlight, her hair/make & veil really completed her whole bridal look.

Their day was so magical and deffff a party! From their first look where I don’t think there was a dry eye anywhere. To the ceremony with laughs, tears and so much love. To the reception where it was just a HUGE party. Best part of the reception – was defff the replacement of the garter toss with ALL the men in the reception hall dancing the Carlton dance, you know? The Carlton dance, JUMP ON ITTTTT! They had the sweetest toasts and so many people traveled far and wide to be with them to celebrate this new journey they embarked on.

I was so honored to be apart of their amazing vendor team for their wedding & I can not wait to share their full gallery with them, but until then. Here is a huge preview into their wedding day.

Congratulations, again Elizabeth & Cirby!

Laci & Zachary

Laci & Zachary were married on October, 19th 2019 at The Pearl at Sabine Creek & it couldn’t have been more of a perfect day! The sun was shining so bright & the weather was just so perfect, I mean we live in texas so it could have really got anyway LOL!

Laci & Zach’s story was one that goes to the heart. They actually got married on the year anniversary of their marriage – if that makes sense! Zach enlisted to go into the army & they decided to not wait to become on. However, they knew that they wanted a big wedding so they started planning it exactly a year later! I am not sure how Laci held it together because she planned their wedding while Zach was in basic training & living miles apart from each other, but she did it & it was the most perfect day.

Their wedding was such a party, they were surrounded by so many friends & family that came to witness them become one! Their wedding had so many touches that I loved. First was Zach’s reaction when he saw his bride for the first time coming down the aisle! To the navy blue & gold cake – can we say stunning? Then painting unity ceremony, that brought tears to my eyes because I had never seen anything like that before – it was definitely unique to them because they can put it in their house forever & remember that moment in time! I even loved all the greenery that was throughout the reception hall, it just was the perfect combination of colors for the white backdrop of the venue. Oh, & I can’t forget to mention Laci’s amazing wedding dress. It was so elegant & she looked like a freaking bombshell! So many details that I can talk about but we would be here forever lol! Their reception was a huge party & I don’t think I have ever seen a father & daughter dance get down the way Laci’s & her dad got down LOL. They also played this hilarious game with some newlyweds from the guest, I tell all my brides about it now just in case they want to play it lol.

I am so honored these two choose me to be their wedding photographer & I can’t wait to share their full galley with them. Until then, here are some sneaks to hold everyone over! Congratulations again, Laci & Zach!

Danielle & Justin

Danielle & Justin got in touch with me when her wedding planner/bridesmaid gave her a list of photographers! When she first reached out to me she sounded cool over the internet but you know how people can sound cool but then be totally different in real life? Yeah well… She was the exact same in real life. Her & Justin both were just super chill, down to earth people. We met at Starbucks were i obsessed over her hair color (it was blue, i of course at the time had purple hair). We basically hit it off & immediately became friends. Even if they were to go in a different direction for their wedding i would have asked to remain friends LOL.

When we originally met for their consultation their wedding was going to be in Hillsboro Texas, in this cute little old warehouse. It was going have a coffee bar, full blown
Chick-fil-a catering & have a ton of Harry Potter details. However, about a month & half before their wedding i get this phone call asking if i could talk. One a photographer never wants to hear those words, I immediately was looking at my calendar seeing if i forgot a meeting but i didn’t. They wanted to talk to me about them canceling their huge wedding here in the DFW area & going to one of their/mine favorite places ever…. Colorado. When they said that i just was like HELL YES without a doubt i will be there. Mannnn that weekend was a world wind, i had 4 yes 4 weddings that weekend. So needless to say i was tired but running on excitement.

Their wedding in Colorado i would call, Perfect. It literally was them in a wedding. Chill, Laid Back & Down to Earth surrounded by their closest friends & family members. Her Harry Potter touches still remained in tact throughout her wedding day & they had Dominos & Chick-Fil-A for catering, can you say amazing? Her dress was absolutely stunning with all the detail on it & her shoes were the BOMB. Justin had a custom suit made & man boy got that STYLE – probably one of my favorite suite to date. They got married on the most magical of hill tops at the Garden Of the Gods in Colorado Springs, they were surrounded by stunning nature & amazing sunshine. I honestly don’t think they could have picked a more perfect day to get married & i am so glad that i was there to witness it not only as their wedding photographer, but their friend! I am so excited to watch this next chapter of their lives unfold!

Congratulations, again Mr. & Mrs. Sweely!

Mr & Mrs. Lee

Kallison & Dakota were married on August, 17th 2019 at Avalon Legacy Ranch in McKinney. While their day was hot it was full of so much love & passion. I have never met two people that wear their hearts on their sleeves like these two do. They were surrounded by their closest friends & family to witness them become one!

Kallison dress was nothing like I have seen before. From the lace to the strand of beading on the back of her dress, it will definitely be a favorite of mine for years to come! During their first look I don’t think that there was dry eye between Kallison & Dakota. It was such a special moment that I am so glad that I was apart of! I will admit I was crying behind my camera, trying not the lose it LOL! Their ceremony was just as special because Dakotas grandfather was the officiant for it. That in itself is so memorable & I am so glad that they will have these images to remember that moment for many many years to come! After the ceremony we took amazing portraits during sunset then we partied the night away!

It was such an honor to be their wedding photographer & I have gained friends for life now! I wish them nothing but the best on this next journey of their lives!

Congratulations again Mr & Mrs. Lee!

Mr & Mrs. Hellums

When Hayley first emailed me I was so excited to find out that I was one of her first vendors that she was booking. She said ‘she knew she needed me as their photographer’. That is itself is the biggest compliment I think anyone can ever tell a photographer. I officially didn’t meet Hayley until her bridal session a few weeks before her wedding! However, I felt like I knew her my whole life & couldn’t wait for the wedding after her bridal session!

During her bridal session, we were talking about her wedding venue that she worked at & come to find out that it was a famous house from the ’70s because of its history! Me being the person I am & loving crime stories/shows I had to learn more about this house. Well, it was Cullen Davis house – he is famous for 2 murders & other crimes that he was completely acquitted for. I found this so interesting & honestly just wanted to explore the whole house. Stonegate mansion has since turned into one of the coolest/beautiful venues I have ever seen. There are so many amazing places for portraits & the ceremony/reception hall lighting is everything to me. So much natural light beams through the floor to ceiling windows.

Hayley & Ryan’s wedding was one for the books. Her attention to detail really killed the game. From her floral centerpieces to her wedding dress. Their day was filled with so much love to last a lifetime. I have never seen such a full ceremony/reception, I don’t think there was an empty chair in sight. Hayley really wanted to have a clean style with the bridal party so the bridesmaids wore black & the men wore all black tuxes, can you say ELEGANT. That’s exactly how I would describe their whole day, elegant. Their reception was popping all night & no one wanted to leave at the end of the wedding. That is what I call a wedding for the books! Congratulations, again you two! I hope you two are enjoying married life to its fullest!

Whitney & Ben

Do ever meet someone & immediately say, yeah we are going to become great friends.. not good BUT GREAT. Yeah, that’s how I felt when I first met Whitney & Ben. When we first started talking about meeting for their consultation I suggested that we met at a Starbucks & Whitney was like uhhh do you mind if we go for ice cream instead… I stared at that email for a good 5 minutes & said ‘yeah I can already tell we are going to get along’. The night of the meeting came & I got there early as I do & I saw them pull up & I saw Whitney turn to Ben & she said ‘i think that’s her, what do we do’. Their consultation was just talking about how these two met, their love story & eating ice cream. We literally barely talked about packages or details. I got an email from Whitney not even 10 minutes after we left stating they wanted to book me.

Whitney & Ben met online when Whitney sliiiiiidd into Ben’s DM like a BOSS. Ben then took her out to Olive Garden for their first date & I mean who doesn’t love Olive Garden. Then the rest is basically history. When I asked Whitney when she knew she was going to marry Ben she said ‘Pretty early on in our relationship. He just always took care of me and everything he did has so much love behind it.’ Cue tears. When I asked Ben when he knew he was going to marry Whitney he said ‘It was when I first told her I loved her during a weekend trip to San Antonio while we were eating at a restaurant on the river walk. She had already said I love you a couple of months before and I knew if she was as patient, considerate, and able to put up with my shit to that point she had to be the one.” CUE MORE TEARS. These two are so in love & I am so excited to be celebrating with them come February of 2020!

Congrulations you two – This year is going to fly by then it will be your turn to become Mr & Mrs. I am so grateful that you two have chosen me to be on this journey with you!

XOXO – Hannah

Ben got these for Whitney for Valentine’s day — They are the Coordinates of their wedding venue & where they will say I DO. (excuse me while I got whip off my keyboard from my tears)

Carolyn & Matt

Where can I even start with this blog? When I first spoke to Carolyn I knew that we were going to become more than just a vendor-client relationship. Well, life happened & she went in a different direction for photography, that’s totally fine I respected their decision. A couple months had passed when her coordinator Ammie with Glitter & Glue Weddings and Event reached out to me and asked if I still had their date & I said YES! I was so honored that they choose me after all the time had passed. Since that day I have grown a bond with Carolyn & Matt during their wedding journey. I took their engagements, Carolyn’s bridals & of course their wedding. Getting two know these two on a personal level has been so so rewarding & I can’t wait to see where their relationship goes on this next chapter of their lives.

Carolyn & Matt got married at Hidden Creek in Heath, Tx! Carolyn had a clear vision of what she wanted on her wedding day & she wasn’t going to let anything stray her from that vision! She had touches of blush, rose gold & greenery everywhere! She had her dress custom made & I mean come on LOOK AT IT – it is stunning & there will never be another dress out there like it! She also let her bridesmaids were different dresses & I loved that touch because it let them give a little of their personality to the wedding! Also, can we take a moment for their ceremony decor – Tammy from T & T flowers & gifts KILLED the game with these flowers! There were so many sweet sweet moments from this wedding that I could talk about all day but I will share this one. Their first look touched my heart, Matt told me at the engagement session & at dinner after her bridal session that he was not going to cry & BOY did he tear up, they both did! It was such a sweet moment to be a part of. Carolyn surprised her mom with a special mother & daughter dance & boy when I tell you I had to take a moment to gather my tears, these dances mean so much to me because I did it with my own mother at my wedding, her mom was so surprised when the DJ announced it & there was not a dry tear while they were on the dance floor. Another part of their wedding day that I ABSOLUTELY loved was the SUN, the sun decided it was time to come play during their portraits session & even though everyone wanted to go inside because it was FREEZING outside I said no & stood my grounds & you will see why below! You cant tell it was 10 degrees outside! Once we went inside for the reception it was nothing but a huge huge party – their bridal party & guest kept the party going all night! Then they had the most perfect sparkler exit to their perfect wedding day! I am so honored that I was apart of this day & I am so honored to be walking away with 2 new amazing friends! Congratulations Mr & Mrs. Wenhold!

Hannah & Joey

Hannah & Joey were married on December 15th, 2018 at The Rockwall Manor in Terrell, Texas. I remember when I first met these two at Starbucks with Hannah’s mom. We instantly connected & while leaving the coffee shop I was very confident that we were going to become great friends! Throughout their journey, I was able to photograph their Engagements, Hannah’s bridals & of course their Wedding! Getting two know these two on a personal level has been so rewarding & I can’t wait to see where their relationship goes on this next chapter of their lives.

Hannah had a vision for her wedding day, her touches of maroon & gold really played well together. I love that she included blankets for her guest during the ceremony, such a warm touch. They also did communion together for their unity ceremony & I really feel like that was such a personal touch for them. Oh & let’s not forget about their Whataburger groom’s Cake – They love Whataburger so much that they even messaged them to get their numbers for their Wedding date. Hanah & Joey’s first look was so full of love – Joey’s smile says it all when he first saw his bride all done up! They were surrounded by so much love you can definitely tell the people that were at their wedding wanted to be there. Their reception was nothing but a huge party & their exit was EPIC. I am so honored that I got to be a part of their Wedding Journey, it has been nothing but amazing! Congratulations again you two!

Linzey & Alex

Linzey & Alex were married at The Ranch in Denton Texas! The rain did not stop these two from tying the know & starting their new journey together! Linzey had such an amazing vision for her wedding day all the greenery & the babies breathe everywhere. She knew what she wanted & made it happen! Their day had so many amazing emotional parts to it, but if I had to pick my favorite I think I would have to choose their first look with each-other! Alex reaction was so perfect! Other than their emotional moments their reception was a huge party & everyone was dancing it felt like almost all night! I am so honored that these two allowed me to be apart of their big day! Congratulations again you two!

Alexis Bridals

Alexis won a photography contest that I did with a local florist here in the DFW area. I unfortunately was not available for her wedding so I offered to do her bridals for her & boy am I glad that I did. Alexis was a stunnnnning bride! I loved her dress – I have never seen anything like it before! She got married at the Piazza on the Greene on New Years Eve & that is where we decide to take her bridal. You cant even tell it was FREEEEZING cold outside the way she was smiling & full of love! Congratulations again Alexis!
