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!!!!!

Operation Love Reunited

Wow, what a fantastic organization this is. It basically hooks up professional photographers with US military families for free portrait sessions, and photos of the reuniting of families as their spouses return from duty.
Mike and I are proud to be a part of this. We love our courageous soldiers and their families.

So here is what we (and lots of other great Operation Love Reunited Photogs do):

Free portrait or reuniting sessions for families of US Military Persons. Period. No hidden charges. No charges at all.

All the photogs have different offers for these wonderful people, but here is what we do:

Family or Reuniting shoot, complete with retouched images on DVD with full resolution photos, with unlimited print rights. The DVD is in an 8.5x11 leather folio for a great classic presentation.
If needed, we will also include websized images for easy uploading to your special soldier. Free. As in zero $. Nada. Zilch. The only thing you have to worry about is picking the best photos of the bunch....which you will have a bunch of. Oh heck, just send or print them all. :-)

And don't forget, Visions In White ALWAYS gives discounts on wedding services to active Military personelle (As well as police officers and FireFighters) . We really do appreciate all you do! And we (as parents to a few soldiers ourselves) know exactly how important it is to keep in touch, and send lots and lots of photo love.

So, if you have a soldier in your family, give us a call and we will be happy to set up a date for your free photo session.

We may never sleep again, but it's the least we can do for all our brave Military.
Check out all the great Photographers who also participate in this endevor.

Audrey and Joe- March 8, 2008

Audrey and Joe married on a beautiful March day in downtown Fort Worth. The weather, which had been nuts only days before, cleared up to offer this couple a picture perfect wedding day. The couple married at the historic University Baptist Church and lit up the night at the Petroleum Club shorty thereafter. The wedding was gorgeous, and no small detail was overlooked by this wonderful couple. The guests enjoyed live music and lighting by Jonnie Blanco, and vista views of downtown Fort Worth.
The wedding and reception were as elegant as any bride and groom could ever want.
Audrey wanted a wedding day that was Fun, Romantic, and Spectacular, and she certainly made it happen.
Mike and I had a wonderful time working for this couple and their families. Everyone was wonderful, warm, and welcoming.
Mike and I know Audrey and Joe are going to have a life together, much like their wedding. Fun. Romantic. Spectacular!

Meet the beautiful Audrey:

I loved her dress!
