Catherine is a classic beauty, and though she may appear demure in some of these images I can attest to the fact that she is one of the most vibrant people I have ever known. The term full of life doesn’t even begin to cover her exuberance, and the joy she took in every aspect of her wedding. Celeste and I had the best time with Catherine and her mom the day of this shoot… it was a real girl’s day for all of us and we left as fast friends. We chose the Meadows Museum and the surrounding Southern Methodist University Campus because her father has been on staff there for many years as the Head of the Bywaters Special Collections at the Hamon Arts Libraries. Her dad popped his head in to bring the dress before the session but we had to make sure he didn’t see his daughter in her bridal gown until his special first look the day of the wedding. Catherine’s choice of this stunning heavy silk ball gown is so perfect for the warm elegance of the museum and she is absolutely right at home among the works of art. You’ll be seeing more of Catherine and her adorable groom Justin when I blog their wedding very soon!
