TORY & RYAN

March 13, 2019 • Tamytha Cameron •

Tory and Ryan are such a beautiful all American couple. They met in high school in Plano Texas at Prestonwood Christian Academy, and knew even then that what they had was special. The way they look at each other is enough to confirm that their love is deep and genuine, and they have an amazing group of family and friends around them that promised to support them as they journey forward in life. Everyone that gathered that day to watch them say their vows in the chapel at Prestonwood Church wrapped them in love and then celebrated with them later on the dance floor. In a few weeks this sweet duo will have their first anniversary and I hope this blog post takes them back to their once in a lifetime day. Mr. and Mrs. Landis we wish you many many more years of happiness just like you felt the day you said “I do!”

CATHY & ADAM

March 9, 2019 • Tamytha Cameron •

From the first moment I sat down with Cathy at a Starbucks to talk about her wedding, I knew I liked her. She is one if those lovely open people who makes you feel like you have known her for years. And listening to her tell me about Adam and fill me in on their story, I had the sense right away of the genuine love and respect they had for one another. Here was a real love story… and there is nothing we like better than telling real love stories through our images!

Cathy and Adam got married at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, which was a first for us, and was such a fabulous venue for this couple whose group of friends are so full of life and energy! Their reception entrance, was so much fun and and took inspiration from an NBA basketball game, fabulous right? Their ceremony took place in the Perot Theater and they danced the night away next with a dinosaur looking on. The brides father had just had a major heart surgery the week before the wedding, so emotions were close to the surface, and gratitude overflowed that he was able to walk his daughter down the aisle… and everyone there felt the love. Both families were just so wonderful and we hope these images capture just a portion of the love, romance and excitement going on at the Perot that day.

TORY’S BRIDALS

June 27, 2018 • Tamytha Cameron •

I always get a bit nervous before a bridal session. The bride is going to be wearing that once-in-a-lifetime gown, and the last thing I want is for her to damage it in any way. Maybe I’m just a worrier… but I want everything to go off without a hitch. The day I met Tory and her mom we had planned to shoot outside of Arlington Hall, but as fate would have it there was a large tent attached to the front of the building and our dreams of tall white Southern columns were dashed. We made a plan B and headed to the Southern Methodist University campus and ended up on the grounds of this beautiful church. And I think the images speak for themselves and prove that it was the perfect place for beautiful Tory and her romantic gown. Gorgeous green spaces and architecture and plenty of places to twirl.

AMY AND MIKE’S CHIC BRUNCH WEDDING

February 19, 2018 • Tamytha Cameron •

Amy and Mike tied the knot on a gorgeous October morning in Texas at Perkins’ Chapel on the campus of Southern Methodist University. This was the perfect place for things to come full circle for these two as they actually met there when they were both SMU Mustangs. Amy went on to build a career here in Dallas working as a creative director for Neiman Marcus and then serving as the Editor of Paper City Magazine. Meanwhile Mike built a career in publishing in Chicago. They happened to cross paths again years later and Mike suggested dinner… it was then that they realized just how much they enjoyed each other’s company and their love story really began to unfold.

And so it was that all their family and friends gathered that morning to watch these two say their vows, and to celebrate with them over a delicious brunch on the rooftop of the Joule with a beautiful view of downtown Dallas. Some of the things that made the day so special were Amy’s stylish pink ensemble by Dallas designer Tish Cox and her fascinator by The House of MacGregor, the florals by Mike Thompson, and the individual slices of Emporium pies boxed so sweetly for the guests. Of course none of these things were as special as the camaraderie among everyone there and the love between Amy and Mike.

Amy and I actually went to high school together in Athens, Texas and it was just such a privilege and an honor to capture this day for them. When I asked Amy what was most important to them when it came to wedding photography, she said that they wanted the images to reflect the joy and the laughter and all the emotions of the day. I just love the shots of the couple coming back down the aisle after they said their vows and were exiting the church. They are both smiling and Mike is just overflowing with joy. I wish them both many more years together filled with just that kind of happiness!

ALEXANDRA AND BENJAMIN’S WEDDING AT THE WELFARE CAFE

January 15, 2018 • Tamytha Cameron •

The first thing that comes to mind when I think back on Alexandra and Benjamin’s Hill County wedding at the Welfare Cafe this past October is golden light and wildflowers. The night before the wedding rain was predicted, but the skies cleared and the vast Texas sky was the perfect blue above them… and the most beautiful light made everything so lovely. These two are perfect for one another for so many reasons. They are both accomplished scholars, Benjamin holds a Ph.D.in music history and is now the professor of music history at the University of North Texas, and Alexandra holds a Ph.D. in art history and is the doctoral curatorial fellow in the Department of European Painting and Sculpture at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. They both come across at first as being very reserved, but when you get to know them, their mischievous side comes out, which I think you will see in these images. And they both love the Hill Country, specifically the Welfare Cafe, which is why they chose to have their nuptials there. They had previously spent time vacationing there and the property holds a special place in their hearts, and it is easy to see why, as it is absolutely lovely and charming and the food was just to die for! So many little things made this wedding unique… like the bespoke paper goods, featuring adorable farm animals, the simple and rustic florals on the crisp white linens, the tables with the red orange chairs, the grooms perfect blue suit and white tie, the bride’s beaded BHLDN dress, and the strudel that served ass their wedding cake, just to name a few. When this couple said “I do” under the amazing tree on the property everyone felt their joy… perfection.

THE 150 BEST PHOTOS OF 2017

January 5, 2018 • Tamytha Cameron •

Happy New Year friends! I just realized as I was going over all my photos from the past year to choose these very special 150 that this is my 6th year to do this! That makes me so happy! I do want to say that this is a totally subjective grouping in that these are my favorites… and have not been chosen by voting, or an impartial panel or anything even remotely like that. Some of the photos were taken by my daughter Celeste, which I must note because darn it I didn’t get to go to New Zealand where a couple of these were taken. I love every one of my clients and every wedding, event and portrait session is so important to me. But there is something about certain photos that just jump out at you, either aesthetically, or emotionally, or compositionally… and sometimes because of what they represent or say. And every year I do this it gets harder… I mean to tell you it’s difficult to choose just 150 out of over 100,000 photos. This is just something I do to reflect over my past year of work and to celebrate my clients and to celebrate creativity! A lot of lot of love went into each and every one of these photos and it was such a joy and honor to work with each of you and to be a part of your lives in this way. Here’s to more photo adventures in 2018!

CRYSTAL + JOHN

December 30, 2017 • Tamytha Cameron •

Crystal and John were married on a beautiful December day in East Texas. It was just such a romantic wedding. The skies above were a brilliant blue and they said I do in front of all of their loved ones and friends and most importantly with their sweet son Carson looking on. It was such a beautiful thing to watch the three of them together! Stone Oak Ranch was looking particularly lovely that day and when the sun started to set it cast a pink glow over everything. I am a big fan of the mix and match bridesmaid’s dresses in blush hues, the groomsmen’s bright socks, and the romantic details on all the tables… the delicate blooms in blush, shades of pink and burgundy hues… and who doesn’t love a cloche, blooms reminiscent of an English garden and an adorable little guy in a wagon? Everywhere you looked there was something pretty, but nothing prettier than the bride’s smile! And when the night drew to a close they kissed under a tunnel of sparklers. A completely fitting end for these two bright stars.

JEN + BOBBY

November 21, 2017 • Tamytha Cameron •

I thought today was the perfect time to celebrate Jen and Bobby and revisit their absolutely lovely November 21st Wedding, because today is their anniversary! These two joined their lives and their families two years ago today and I can honestly say that it was one of the sweetest weddings I have been privileged to photograph. They said I do in their beautiful home surrounded by their children and their friends and loved ones and had their reception at Magnolia Terrace in Frisco. I’m pretty sure everyone there felt their joy. I just love the images of them dancing… they are so full of life! I’m going to let the images tell the story, the story of the best and the sweetest day for Jen and Bobby. These two have definitely got it going on!

TORY AND RYAN: A ROMANTIC SUMMER ENGAGEMENT

August 11, 2017 • Tamytha Cameron •

Tory and Ryan have such a lovely way with one another, they are so easygoing and loving and when they look at each other it’s as if no one else is in the room. I had met with Tory and her mom to talk about wedding photography prior to our session, and I have known their family for some time, but it was my first time meeting Ryan. He is such a gentleman, and so sweet with his future bride. I had so much fun with these two because they obviously are the type of couple that have fun no matter what they are doing and they laugh easily… which is just the best. We started our time at Southern Methodist University which is Ryan’s alma mater, went from there to Highland Park Village and finished the day with a pink sunset at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. All of this effort was more than worth it, and I think we captured the love and romance between these two pretty well… It’s pretty magical. I am so looking forward to their March wedding!

MEGAN AND BRENDAN’S STUNNING WEDDING AT THE MILESTONE

May 24, 2017 • Tamytha Cameron •

There are few things in life sweeter than a wedding… especially a wedding with a gorgeous bride and groom who are so obviously in love and meant for one another. Megan and Brendan have that special something, and it’s more than evident in the way they look at one another. They said I do at the lovely Milestone mansion in Aubrey, Texas. Their close-knit group of friends were gathered around them as well as many loving friends. One of the best parts of the day was the choreographed dance the groom and his groomsmen surprised the bride with… so much fun! Some other things to look for as the images tell the story… the bride’s pretty bouquet in tones of claret and pale pink, the cutest flower girl you could imagine, and the groomsmen and their superhero socks. Megan and Brendan are both teachers, both clearly beautiful people, and on top of that are two of the kindest people I know… truly a match made in heaven.
