Couples
Joan and Ejike could not stop smiling at each other their entire session. And. I. loved. It! Joan has an amazing smile, and Ejike knows just what to do to bring it out of her. I can't wait to photograph their May wedding!
I love their smiles and laughter, but this quiet moment makes for a striking photo too!
Today you get to meet the second amazing couple I photographed at the Cedar Hill Heritage House: Kate and Zach. This is the same dress Kate wore when she married Zach 10 years ago.
When Joanna was done with Kate's make-up, my. jaw. dropped. open. STUNNING!
Anyone besides me think she looks like a redheaded Sandra Bullock here?
F-a-v-o-r-i-t-e!
Nothing like the anticipation of seeing your bride in her wedding dress.
Zach and Kate both gave a lot of thought to their accessories. That's right, those super cute frames of Zach were intentional. My favorite "prop" of Zach's? His smile. He couldn't keep from smiling every time he looked at Kate...sweetest thing ever!
Kate and Zach's look had vintage hints, so it was fun to get to use the sepia tone a bit more than I normally would.
How I love capturing moments like this!
Is that another favorite? Why yes it is :)
Gorgeous model bride, cathedral length veil, beautiful smile; could I ask for more?
During this next series of photos I think I said something like: DON'T MOVE, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
Seriously, I could photograph this beauty all day long.
Kate brought a pair of boots and one of her dining room chairs from home. She said she thought it would be cool for her kids to be able to see and recognize the chair in the photo. I like how she thinks!
A few indoor shots completed the session nicely. I think Zach looks especially dashing in this shot!
Kate and Zach, you are quite a stunning couple! Here's to 10 more years, and many more after that!
A BIG thank you to Zach, Kate, Ana, and Kenroy who drove all the way from Oklahoma to be a part of this shoot! Also thank you to the Cedar Hill Heritage House (look for a blog post on this venue in the spring), and Joanna for her crazy good make-up skills!
I've been bursting at the seams to keep from posting this blog, and I'm so flipping excited that I can share these images now! The Heritage House is a new wedding venue in Cedar Hill, TX. The Victorian style house combines the best of both worlds. The exterior wrap-around porch with rocking chairs evokes the warmth of an earlier era, while the interior walls of slate gray and tasteful green accents bring you into modern times. Once I saw these chairs, I knew I had to photograph a bride and groom here.
Lucky for me, in no time at all, I had a dream team assembled. Two stunning couples + a fabulous make-up artist + a wonderful venue made this shoot amazing!
Today we'll start off with Ana and Kenroy; a couple with amazing style and swag!
I was thoroughly impressed that Ana could still wear her wedding dress after 7 years of marriage!
Joanna of Retreat Salon and Spa did a wonderful job of taking Ana's beauty to the next level.
I have to dub Ana the accessories queen. I love how she rocked her jewelry, flower, and shoes!
Although they are already married, I thought it was really neat that Ana and Kenroy did a first look.
These two loved to laugh!
For this shot I asked them to flirt a bit, you know create some tension with only a look. I think they did it perfectly, don't you?
Favorite!
Shazam! Another favorite right here!
Kenroy brought along his golf clubs, and they made a great prop.
I was glad I was able to grab a few shots of Kenroy alone.
Ana changed up the accessories, and we got some shots with more of a western flair.
At the end of the session we went inside for a bit, and I'm soooo glad I got this shot of the two of them. Definitely a favorite!
Ana and Kenroy, I loved your swag, style, and laughter! Thank you for an incredible shoot.
Stay tuned for part two of this session at the Heritage House!
