I met up with Bill and Melanie one afternoon at Prather Park in Highland Park to shoot some engagement photos. They brought their pup along too, and he was a handful. I love Weimaraners though, so we had a good time with him! We walked around Prather for a minute before heading to Deep Ellum to finish up. Here is a sneak…

Grant and Yasmin got married outside in the Japanese Gardens at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens on a scorching day in June of last year… a day in which I decided to dress in black pants, black shoes and a black long sleeve shirt. Not my smartest moment, I assure you. But other than all of the sweat I inflicted on myself, this was an amazing wedding. Grant and Yasmin are both so much fun to be around that I never really felt like I was working… just hanging out with friends. And I mentioned in their engagement session post that Grant meets no stranger. Well up until this point, Jessica hadn’t met Grant yet and before he got to the gardens I warned her… I said something like, “get ready, because Grant is your new best friend”. Sure enough, Grant rolls in with some groomsmen and before I even get a chance to introduce Jess, he’s giving her a huge hug and introducing himself! Here are some highlights…
So these definitely turned out to be some of my favorite ever bridal portraits. Nicole knows how to work it behind the camera! We started out in the Arts District near the Dallas Museum of Art, and then headed to Arlington Hall to finish up. The lighting and weather could not have been more perfect for this shoot! Check it out…

It’s about time I posted this awesome wedding! So I have 3 words for you… Derek… Cameron… aLoft. How could this be anything but awesome, right? I am a huge aLoft fan, due to the brightly colored walls, exposed brick vintage feel and super helpful staff. Mixed with these 2, holy cow! This wedding was so much fun! Crazy awesome couple, crazy fun bridal party, coolest grooms cake ever, a “Fresh Prince” style best man toast and an exit on a NYC style rickshaw. Too much coolness. (p.s. Cameron is Donovan’s cousin from the last wedding we posted)
This was a fun day for Jessica and me! We got to go back and shoot a wedding at the same place where we said our own “I do’s” just 4 years ago. The memories started to flood back into my mind the minute we pulled up. The look, smell and feel of the Rockwall Wedding Chapel hadn’t changed (with the exception of a paved road in the front). I just wish we would’ve done what these 2 did and had a “First Look” when we got married here. Speaking of which… their first look yielded one of my favorite photos to date…
For Paul & Nicole’s engagement photos, we started at Sundance Square in Downtown Ft Worth, and then we took off to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. This was my first time shooting at the Gardens and I loved it. Can’t wait to go back! Paul and Nicole were naturals in front of the camera. Especially Nicole though! The camera freakin’ loved her! I can’t wait to share her bridals. But for now, here are some of my favorite engagement shots.
