Kevin + Michele // modern wedding at the Aloft Hotel in Dallas

Kevin and Michele could not be any cuter! To meet them is to instantly see how much fun they have together, so when we met with them many months ago, we couldn’t wait to spend more time with them. She is in the healthcare industry, while he serves in the Dallas Fire Department. With their beautiful smiles, infectious personalities, and love for helping others, Dallas is one lucky place to be if you’re ever in need of care!

We had a great time spending the evening with them at the modern Aloft Hotel in Downtown Dallas for their hip wedding, and rocking’ reception that followed. Here are just a few snaps from the evening. We wish them both the very best!!!

Hayden // plano west senior

Carey and I remember Hayden from many years ago. The youngest in a great family with two older siblings, he tended to be ‘the shy one’ as I recall, but when we re-connected several weeks ago I could see that he has definitely grown out of that!
Hayden has been working for years on restoring (heck…even building from the ground up) this awesome, red land cruiser with his dad. Close to completion, he is quite proud of their accomplishment together, and I know his parents are even more proud of the man he has become. Good luck at school Hayden, and all you endeavor to do!!!

Here are a few images from our afternoon senior portrait session in Plano!

Chance + Valerie // engagement portraits at Lake Travis

Upon meeting Valerie a few months ago, I was immediately taken by her big smile and infectious laugh as she described her joy and love for (as-yet-to-be-met) Chance. Meeting their freshman year at Baylor University in Waco, they didn’t actually start dating until well into their junior year. As their love grew, and wedding bells were ringing in her ears, Chance would often say “There will be a ‘someday’…but it’s not today.” Fast forward to Christmas of 2011, and taking his knee at his families ranch overlooking the Palo Duro Canyon outside of Amarillo, Tx. he said “Today is Someday…will you marry me?”.

Judging by the pictures below you can see that a) She said ‘yes!’, b) he still makes her laugh, and c) they are completely in love!
Can’t wait to capture their wedding day in the coming weeks!

Jake + Katie // cheers to the cleers!

Jake and Katie are such a great match. When we met with them last year to hear their story, we could see the love and joy in their eyes, but had no idea their wedding day would be filled so much more.
Meeting on the softball field of a co-ed league, he tried to play it cool (like Maverick) I guess you could say, while she was focused on winning no matter the distractions. Several years later, they are tieing the knot, and beginning their own team together.

We were so grateful to capture their wedding day ceremony at Prestonwood Baptist Church of Plano with their exciting, dance-filled, reception at Cityplace of Dallas. Here are a handful of images taken from their big day, and if you haven’t already seen their highlights trailer, you should check that out too!

We wish them both the very best!

Cheers to the Cleers!

Michele Bridals at White Rock Lake

Michele was so much fun to photograph. She had a vision for what she wanted, but on a clouded, windy afternoon at White Rock she had the best attitude and said ‘Let’s just go for it!’ We did, and was able to match her vision…all while avoiding the oncoming rain! Michele and Kevin were wed this past weekend, and we can’t wait to post images from their beautiful wedding.

Until then…enjoy a handful from this beautiful portrait session!
