Mandie & Brad: Engagement Portraits at the Japanese Gardens & Downtown Fort Worth {Dallas Wedding Photography}

Allison — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 02:22:08 +0000

Meet Mandie & Brad. They are high school sweethearts and now they’re getting ready to get married at their home church in Mt. Pleasant, Texas in April! We photographed their sweet engagement portraits at the lovely Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth followed by the second part of their session in Downtown Fort Worth. I loved getting to know these two and it’s fun to spend time with a couple that’s been together for many years – it reminds me of me and my husband (we’ll be celebrating 6 years in December). It’s just so wonderful to celebrate with them. I hope you love viewing their romantic and fabulous engagement session.

Alyssa & Tyler: Engagement Portraits in the Dallas Arts District & Turtle Creek Park {Dallas Wedding Photography}

Meet Alyssa & Tyler! They’re getting married in January at The Height’s Baptist Church, followed by a wedding reception at the Hickory Street Annex, a cool urban loft wedding venue in downtown Dallas. Alyssa & Tyler have so much sweet natural chemistry and they love to have fun and laugh together. We had an amazing time photographing their engagement portraits in the Dallas Arts District (near The Winspear & The Meyerson) and along an area of Turtle Creek Park. Tyler is an artist and Alyssa is an actress, so the fun and colorful engagement locations really brought out their personalities and spurred on our creativity. I hope you enjoy viewing their engagement portraits!

Sarah + Josh: Romantic and Fun Engagement Portrait Picnic & More

Allison — Mon, 16 May 2011 14:46:06 +0000

Meet Sarah & Josh. They’re getting married in September at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano. Josh is an intern at Prestonwood and Sarah works for an inner city ministry called BridgeBuilders. They met at Prestonwood at one of the Saturday night services. When we met to talk about their wedding photography, I was so surprised Sarah & I had not met yet because we had so many mutual friends. She is such a sweet and caring person and it was easy to see how romance sparked quickly between them. Sarah and I had a wonderful time planning their styled engagement session. She loves reading wedding blogs like Green Wedding Shoes and Style Me Pretty. So we planned their engagement session with the help of some fabulous vendors and some great props. AH Makeup Artistry & Posh Floral Design teamed up with me to make Sarah’s engagement session even better with their amazing talents. Amanda of AH Makeup Artistry does beautiful make up design based on the look you’re wanting for your portrait or wedding day make up. Angie of Posh Floral Design creates beautiful and unique floral arrangements and works with other wedding decor to help you style your wedding day or other celebration. Sarah found props at Anthropologie, Pottery Barn and Etsy.

We started their session with a sunrise picnic in a wild field. Then I photographed them baking sugar cookies in Sarah’s kitchen. Lastly we traveled to the Farmer’s Market in downtown Dallas for the last stop on their engagement portrait session.

It’s been so much fun to be a part of their engagement session portraits and I look forward to their wedding day in September.
