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!
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!
