Chic Hotel Wedding in Downtown Dallas

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Kate

I love a ceremony surrounded by downtown architecture! Captured by Jeremy and Kristin Photography, Kayla and Evan were married this past October at a chic hotel in downtown Dallas, Texas. The couple exchanged vows amongst friends and family, encompassed by towering buildings. The bride had a sweet first look with her father followed by a romantic first look with her husband-to-be. A deep navy blue was used to accent the otherwise neutral color palette. I love the touches of chevron on the invitations and cake!

Real Engagement: Sharmin + Nam in Dallas

Posted on November 5, 2012 by Kate

I love the uniqueness of this session’s location and inspiration! Captured by Ben Q. Photography, Sharmin and Nam headed to a private jet hanger in Dallas, Texas for their high fashion, jet-set inspired shoot. The couple chose a “jet setter” theme for their engagement session because they both love to travel and enjoy being up in the air. Nam even proposed to Sharmin at a hot air balloon festival! Sharmin looks gorgeous in a variety of outfits comprised of designer clothes, handbags and shoes, while Nam looks super sharp in coordinating suits and blazers. Be sure to check out the last few images that capture a stunning sky resulting from a solar eclipse!

Real Wedding: Mandy + Robert in Dallas

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Kate

Whoa, that is a stunning ring! Today’s beautiful wedding will start to get you into the holiday spirit. Captured by Jonathan Ivy Photography, Mandy and Robert were married last December in a gorgeous chapel in Dallas, Texas. After meeting, Mandy, who works for the Dallas Cowboys and Robert, a 3rd generation football player and enthusiast, immediately hit it off. Following the intimate chapel ceremony, the couple headed to a local boutique hotel to celebrate with their closest friends and family. Mandy and Robert had a goal to host an amazing party and it appears that was accomplished! A neutral color palette was used to complement the vivid red holiday decorations of the chapel, creating a gorgeous atmosphere.
