Bella Cavalli Wedding and Events is a truly unique venue located in Aubrey Tx. 45 minutes or so from Dallas. It is a modern white barn with great natural light, a super bright interior, and a lovely cabin on the property a short walk from the main venue for the groomsmen to get ready. The […]

Collin County Courthouse is close to home as a McKinney resident, and capturing quick ceremonies there is something I always enjoy. One thing I love as a photographer about Collin County Courthouse Wedding Portraits is that there is a green space right next door to the building with mature trees. This is a great spot […]
