Sarah and Brandon were married August 8, 2009. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful – their wedding alter was even custom made just for them! Sarah was the most calm and collected bride. She even snacked on chocolate covered pretzels minutes before the ceremony started (which was quickly replaced with WHITE chocolate covered pretzels by one of her bridesmaids watching out for her and her dress!)

Their reception was held at Garland’s beautiful Atrium. Music by Complete Music (www.mydallasdj.com) kept the party going – and I mean going… EVERYONE was on the dancefloor!!!!

here are just a few from the day:

… Can you find the rings in this photo?!… Everyone gave Brandon a hard time about his ring keeping! You have to admit, it’s pretty clever!

Ben captured some fun ones of the guys before the ceremony!



The first glimpse of his soon-to-be-wife.





They danced the entire way down the aisle after their kiss! How awesome is that?!



These next three capture everyone having some fun for the camera!


This one cracks me up!!!!


I think this one is my favorite!!




















The bouquet toss was almost a battle to the death!

The colors and lights at this wedding are a photographer’s dream!!!

Becca and Matt had a beautiful ceremony Friday, July 31! With thunderstorms in the forecast all week, we were all nervous and hopeful that the rain would stay away for their big day… And our prayers were answered! We were even lucky enough to have an awesome sky during the entire event, and a lightning storm in the background. Then, as Becca and Matt made their exit, it began to sprinkle – and as soon as they shut their doors to drive away, it began to POUR!!!! It was fate.

DJ William Ryan kept the party going. He is an AMAZING DJ!!!! www.itsyournight.com
And the beautiful flowers were done by aDallas Flowers/Angie Vasquez

Thank you Becca and Matt. Your love is so special, I was honored to capture every minute.

I am still editing, but here are some for a “Sneak Peek”

I love this first set!… When you drove up the street to their venue, they had these signs set up so you read them as you drove up. Too cute!



The whole gang rockin’ the converse!



A Wii Cake!!! how cool is that?!?



A funny moment during their ceremony…

Then an emotional moment…



Parasols!!!! Love it!

Their first dance was so sweet. They sang to one another.



Her sister getting a little choked up for her toast.



Not only were all of the bridesmaids beautiful and sweet, but they could get down!

Their last dance of the night…

June 20, 2009
I was ecstatic when Alicia called me up and told me she was engaged. Alicia and I worked in a photo lab together years back, and we were instant friends. We spoke in funny voices when we were at work, and she introduced me to the band Postal Service when they first came out! So, we have some history, and there is nothing better than photographing someone you care about! Gabe and Alicia have been together for many years, and they are crazy about each other. It’s beautiful.

Here are some of my favorites from the day!

Thank you, and congratuations – MR. and MRS. LANZ!

LOOK AT THAT CATCH!


AND THAT CATCH!

This was by far one of the coolest wedding parties out there! When we walked up to start shooting, we were greeted with happy guys drinking ice cold beers, and warm smiles from the beautiful bride’s maids. Along with a calm bride, and energetic groom.

It was a warm day, but the constant breeze and exciting atmosphere made it unnoticeable.

Thank you, Amy and Mike, for having us shoot your special day. You two are truly an awesome pair!!!





This venue is simply amazing!

TIME TO BOOGIE!
The beautiful Garden Manor Inn at night:

Congratulations are in order for Jenna and Anthony!

This wedding was so wonderful! Jenna was so calm before she walked down the aisle, and she jammed out to Black Eyed Peas with her gorgeous bride’s maids. It was rather warm outside, but nice and cool at the party inside.

Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Lowe for having me capture such a special moment in your lives together!

Much love and many blessings!

What a precious moment!

The cakes! Yuuuuummmy!!!

The first dance.

Break it down!
