Andrea and Jon's Wedding at the Church of the Incarnation

Andrea and Jon married at the University of Dallas at the Church of the Incarnation.
The church itself is beautiful and unique, as it's built in a "round" format. It's a bit darker than most churches, and to enhance the romantic lighting, Andrea and Jon decided to do a candle light service. The only illumination in the room, was directly over the couple, and the flicker of candles held by guests. Both Moms took there candles to the couple, who then used them to light their unity candle. It was really beautiful.
The reception was draped in flowers and the guests enjoyed a fabulous dinner and an amazing light show put on by the DJ.
Location: Church of the Incarnation, University of Dallas
Wedding Coordinator: Sandra Pratt
DJ: Baby Grand Productions

Craig and Elizabeth's Wedding

We met Craig and Elizabeth the day before their wedding! The couple, both in the information and technology field met by chance in Georgia, and hit it off. Craig, who collects classic BMW, and is a talented woodworker, and furniture crafter in his spare time, fell hard for the Texas girl who played Piano for her local church in Canton. Craig proposed on Feb 14th in a beautiful vinyard in Northern California, and Elizabeth happily said yes. The wedding was held at Elizabeth's Catholic church in Canton, with a beautiful reception that followed at the local Rock High Ranch. It was a perfect fall day. Elizabeth surprised Craig with a BMW logo groom's cake, surrounded by "sharks". (His favorite car). They both surprised the young ladies at the wedding by giving them their very own miniture bridal bouquets. And then they made their escape in Craig's beloved Turbo 7 Shark, and returned to Michigan. We'll miss them! Congratulations Craig and Elizabeth!

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!!!!!
