Ever since the lovely and stylish Robin asked me to photograph her wedding, I started visualizing some equally stylish bridal portraits. I have been so anxious to share these gorgeous images… I literally squealed with delight when I was editing them because they are just so pretty… and that is all about Robin in her classic flowing silk gown… a gown that very few women could pull off! She and her handsome groom Brian wed this past Friday evening surrounded by family and friends at the charming Jefferson Tower, so I am finally free to share. Robin is the Events Manager at the Meadows Museum so it seemed like the perfect place to shoot these images, and the stately art filled spaces are the ideal backdrop for this beauty!
LOVELY CATHERINE’S BRIDALS AT THE MEADOWS MUSEUM
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!
COURTNEY AND KEITH’S ROMANTIC DECEMBER WEDDING
Courtney and Keith are such wonderful people… warm, real, intelligent and very obviously in love. The first time I met them at Starbucks to talk wedding photography I knew I liked them. It was such a joy and honor to work with them through the engagement, bridal and wedding photography process… and even though Keith shared with me that he never really liked having his photo taken, you would certainly never know it, as he was a natural in front of my camera. Their ceremony was held at the lovely Perkins Chapel on the SMU campus and their reception at the beautiful Meadows Museum. I had so much fun with the family and friends surrounding this couple on their special day… so much connection and love was swirling about on this December day… and it was just wonderful to be a part of it.
The girls got ready for the ceremony at the chic Highland hotel and then made their way to the dressing area at Perkins Chapel, and as usual, these photos are some of my favorites… I am such a big fan of the camaraderie of women friends…
And just like that it was time for that once in a lifetime walk down the aisle… this couple did not do a first look so this was Keith’s first glimpse of Courtney in her dress…
I just love how romantic these photos of Courtney and Keith are… so beautifully intimate…
And the celebration began…
With well wishes, hugs and fond farewells… the couple made their way into the night…
We wish you every happiness you two!!!
