This Mandalay Canal Wedding Portrait session was a chilly and fabulous way to start my morning. The Mandalay Canals in Las Colinas Texas is one of two locations I am aware of in the Dallas Fort Worth area that boasts a European aesthetic. Cobblestone, unique windows/doors, and a lot of great landscaping make it a […]

Hotel Crescent Court is one of the classiest and most classic locations for an upscale bridal session or wedding in Dallas. This Hotel Crescent Court Bridal Session for my gorgeous and bubbly bride Lexi was oh beyond dreamy. The Texas heat did not dull Lexi’s shine in the least. Note that Hotel Crescent Court requires […]

This same sex Dallas micro wedding was one of my all time favorites! I am a sucker for small weddings to begin with, and this sweet couple had such amazing support from their family. We were lucky to get overcast weather. Even though it was midday, we were able to shoot all of the portraits […]

La Bella Luna Wedding Venue is located in Granbury Tx and offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony locations. This wedding was inside due to the season, but I hope to be able to photograph an outdoor ceremony in the future. I am a personal fan of the dramatic double staircase.
