Engaged~Jennifer + Elijah

We are totally in love with this couple who will wed in May at Three Three Three First Avenue. Their design has been so fun to develop and getting to know them even more joyful! The two day event will kick off with a Tanzanian party, followed the next day with an American ceremony. We just cannot wait to share the beauty of their special day!

Sarah + Eric’s engagement session at White Rock Lake

We cannot wait for Sarah + Eric’s wedding this weekend at McKinney Cotton Mill. They are simply the sweetest, most laid back couple ever. Cheers to a great start to 2014! And thank you to Matt + Julie for the beautiful images.

Bohemian Styled Bridals in Grapevine Texas

Let me start by saying I love my Texas. The terrain is just overwhelmingly breathtaking at times. We wanted to show off a bit of mountainscape, yes Texas has mountains just north of Dallas.Words from the designer:
I took some of my favorite elements and just mixed them all together. Organic gathered floral with bits of market style arrangements, beautiful china settings, great vintage trunks, tons of brass and a hodgepodge of textured pillows and patterned blankets. All together gave a perfect natural yet bohemian setting. And the location… be still my heart. Look at the beauty of those rocks paired with the serenity of the still water. The shoot was just a POP of the right color, fantastic natural inspired stationary and finished off with a beautiful croquembouche cake. Each detail was pulled from the inspiration from our earth around us, whether a cliff, rock or blade of wild foliage, all is awe-inspiring.

Matt+Cammie’s fiesta themed wedding at Howell Family Farms

Not only was this wedding simply beautiful, Cammie + Matt were a joy to work with! Cammie contacted us to plan their wedding here in Dallas even though they both live in FL. I didn’t meet Cammie until months after we had starting planning. We had to really hone in on Cammie’s style and vision to pull off a fiesta themed, color packed wedding day with having such little time with her one on one! The day was full of details from the Mexican soda station that greeted the guests on arrival, a world globe for signing showing the couple’s love to travel, Mexican cookie favors, mini Tabasco bottles for place card holders, papel picado, sombreros, ahhhh I could go on and on. We adore their spirits and will miss them dearly. Congrats you crazy kids!!

Lucky in Love Shoot

We wanted to do a very authentic approach to the tradition of Saint Patrick. With a lush Irish influenced tablescape, the focus was to sophisticate this celebration without the typical overload of shamrocks. We went with a color palette in emerald, gold, and turquoise. Subtle touches of Irish here and there are found throughout from the woodland creatures found in bell jars, homemade Bailey’s Irish Cream and Guinness station, gold painted beer steins, and lucky horseshoes.
