Prardhana and Patrick came to Dallas for their engagement session, wanting to combine her culture with the architectural interestingness found in Dallas. As with most of my sessions, we wandered around downtown, had some fun and found some gems along the way.

Sarah and Brock were married on a warm, sunny day at Winfrey Point in Dallas. Winfrey Point overlooks White Rock Lake and provides a gorgeous and rustic backdrop far enough away from the city but close enough to still be in Dallas. Sarah chose a beautiful, lace Monique Lhuillier dress that matched perfectly with her bridesmaids’ dresses and the classically rustic surroundings. Details and planning were handled by Mary Frances’ elite team at DFW Events, floral and decor by the talented Brianne Denton of Blue Lotus, and all-night entertainment provided by Dallas Unlimited‘s live band.

Sarah and Brock have had the largest wedding party I’ve shot since I started in 2007 (23 gorgeous people total!) and it was so much fun. The group was friendly, joked a lot, and a true pleasure to get along with.

There are some serious intimate moments throughout Sarah and Brock’s wedding – something that makes me even more grateful for the families and couples who have trusted me with their most intimate moments. Enjoy!

Thanks to Vanja Djuric for shooting this one with me!

Indian weddings are something beautiful. The people, colors, and dancing – there’s beauty in the tradition and charm of an Indian wedding celebration that anyone can appreciate. Sapna and Sanjeev’s wedding in Dallas’ elite venues (W Hotel, Crescent Court) combined the traditional elements of an Indian wedding with the modern, fashionable personality that surrounds the two, creating a one of a kind wedding event. (You might remember Sapna and Sanjeev from their sultry engagement session here.) Prashe supplied the amazing decor in addition to the custom wedding fashion worn by the bride, groom and wedding party.

We were with the wedding the entire weekend – from the mehndi (henna ceremony for non-Indians!), sangeet (big dance party!), baraat (horse down the street), to the W hotel wedding ceremony and Crescent Court reception. To say this wedding was a party is a huge understatement – I’ve never seen a group of people so passionately dance for 3 days straight.

Sapna and Sanjeev’s love was still glaringly apparent through the midst of all the dancing, however. For example, they delayed their baraat to do a first look with me – recognizing that the moment of seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day was intimately special and should be put above all.

Special thanks to Valerie Valdez for holding lights, setting up flashes, and shooting the celebration with me!

Jerri Ann and Anthony are two of the most adventurous people I’ve met. Last year, we took a last minute trip to New Zealand for their engagement session and, if you’re friends with them on Facebook, you’ll know their love for travel rivals mine.

Though they love skipping around the planet (currently residing in Cali), they held the wedding in their hometown Dallas at the elegant Crow Collection of Asian Art Museum. It was a beautiful wedding filled with incredible people, fun times, and lots of dancing! They also did a unique first look where they just had a private unseen moment together before the ceremony. Congrats guys and thanks for having me be part of your day! (and happy anniversary!)

And special thanks to Katherine and Shelley for helping out with the wedding.

It’s always an incredibly humbling and flattering experience whenever another industry professional asks me to take important photos of or for them. Allison, another wedding photographer here in Dallas, asked me to photograph her and Aaron’s annual wedding anniversary session. The one thing they wanted to incorporate? Their love for Jeeps. Which, for about 2 weeks, fueled my lust for a Jeep. So here we are, hanging out at a Jeep junkyard/shop.

P.S. Thanks to my friend Isabel for coming along and helping out!
