Blake and Adam's Wedding at the Hickory Street Annex
Adam has about the coolest job ever….he takes people to Greece and Italy to do archeology tours. It works out perfectly because the lovely Blake loves travel. She is currently studying floral design, and you can tell by the beautiful floral choices below, that she is very talented in the field.
Blake and Adam wanted their wedding to be as unique as their relationship, so they chose Hickory Street Annex as their ultra urban ceremony and reception venue.
For those of you not familiar with it’s history, it was once the Gulf Oil Distribution Center of North Texas. Now, it’s a terrific open venue surrounded by artist’s studios.
Blake and Adam decided on a muted fall pallet of teal, olive, and rust. The bridesmaid’s wore the most beautiful dresses of these hues. Each table was done in one variation the selected colors.
The guests had a wonderful time. The minister was Adam’s father, David. (we were honored to work with the family once before for Adam’s brother’s wedding). It’s always so special when a wedding is conducted by such a loved family member.
And the party was crazy fun! Adam’s Mom is Greek, and so some wild Greek Wedding Dancing began. Unfortunately I was in the middle of the spinning circle when the dishes started flying. I heard a “crash” just before a remnant of a plate flew into the lens of my 35 mm 1.4. Ugg! (Just as a testament to what a great lens it is though, it survived!!! Yay!!!) I needless to say, got out of the circle in a hurry.
Here’s a first you guys….Adam and Blake win the contest for the all time “different” exit. They used “bubble wrap”. Yep that stuff you squeeze between your fingers……After crushing out some good “pops” the guests used the spent wrap to throw at the couple.
Congrats Adam and Blake on your beautiful and joyful life together!!!!!
