Mandie & Brad are high school sweethearts. They met at church many years ago and dated all through high school and college. It was beautiful to be a part of their long-awaited wedding day. We photographed their engagement portraits in Downtown Fort Worth and at the Japanese Gardens. We later photographed Mandie’s bridal portraits at the Dallas Arboretum. She looked so elegant and fabulous! But their wedding day was such a special event. Mandie was a bit emotional and I loved that she was just crying tears of joy and happiness at the drop of a hat. She was so excited to finally be an official part of Brad’s family and to be his wife. It was also a very special day because they chose to get married on Mandie’s parent’s anniversary. Her parent’s surprised them with fireworks over the pond at their country club reception.
