A Winter Wedding with the Wrights

I cannot believe I’m just now getting around to blogging about this Fort Worth Wedding!

Chelci and Kevin found me on Facebook through a friend of mine who is from their home town. They contacted me and we talked about their needs and wants, and it was a match! They wanted their engagement photos done in the mountains, and I was dreaming of doing them there, as well. But the permit I need to shoot in the mountains wasn’t approved until AFTER their engagement session date, so we did a session in the Bishop Arts District in Dallas. We loved those photos, but knew that they weren’t everything we dreamed of them to be. So we waited on the permit, and drove up to the mountains and did a second engagement session. It was perfect.
Shooting Chelci and Kevin during their engagement adventure session; climbing rocks, scaling hills, battling the wind, really helped us get to know one another and become comfortable with each other. I learned so much about them, and I think that really helped me for their wedding day.

Without further ado, I present to you, Mr. & Mrs. Wright

Chelsee & Josh- 10 Year Anniversary Portraits

I was so thrilled when my sweet friend, and fellow photographer, Chelsee, asked me to shoot a 10-year-anniversary session for her and her husband, Josh. 
After all, 10 years is a BIG deal! 
We decided to drive up to my fave location, the mountains, and capture some images of them loving one another. 
We ran into a few hiccups, and even ended up having to bring all three of their kids along with us, but I couldn't be happier with the outcome of these photos!

Can you see how much they adore one another?! UFF DAHHHH *all the heart eyes*

 

Leave this precious couple some love in the comments, would ya? ;)

A Joyful Mountain Engagement Session

Chelci and Kevin contacted me in December about their December 2018 wedding. I knew from the moment Chelci spoke with me, that I wanted to make their engagement images completely magical. 

Chelci let me know that she wanted their session to be in the Wichita Mountains, so I got to working on a permit application. Unfortunately, when it came time to do their session, my application hadn't been approved yet, and, to say the least, we were pretty bummed out. 

To make the most of it, we had a laid-back session in the Bishop Arts District in Dallas. We got some great images, but I could tell Chelci and Kevin weren't completely in their element. 
A few weeks later, i got the great news- my application was approved! I headed up to the mountains, paid for my permit, and picked it up. Chelci and I set up a date for the mountain engagement, and we waited patiently, hoping the day would bring sunshine, warmth, and *NO* rain!

The day came, and sure enough, we had sunshine and no rain! It was CRAZY windy though, but we managed to get some incredible shots of Chelci and Kevin interacting; being in their element together. They were able to tune out all distractions and concentrate on one another, creating some beautiful moments that I was lucky enough to capture. 

 

Needless to say, you guys, I cannot WAIT to finish their entire session! And I am so stoked to photograph Chelci's bridals in the fall!

Caroline- a 2018 High School Senior!

Caroline was such a doll to work with. Her smile can light up anyone's day. 
She so sweetly waited for her older sister, Jackie, to come into town before she scheduled her senior portraits, and Jackie was kind enough to come along and help. She even borrowed Jackie's clothes and shoes! What a pair! 
It was sure a pleasure photographing Caroline, and I hope you enjoy her senior photos as much as I enjoyed taking and editing them.
