So, to reveal how far behind I am on the whole "blogging my sessions" thing, Chris and Liz actually got MARRIED this past Saturday. Congratulations guys! And I hope you're having fun in San Antonio!!!
We did their engagement/bridal/family session at the Dallas Arboretum, which I had actually NEVER been to. Crazy, right?! And I seriously could have photographed the place all day. There were that many amazing locations. So beautiful!
We went several different directions with this session. First, we did casual family pictures. Since this was going to be a blended family, I thought it was a GREAT idea to incorporate the kids into the festivities. It's a huge deal for the kids too, to get a new step-dad, so I thought it was wonderful to include them.
Then everyone got all dressed up and we did formal portraits and bridals.
One really GREAT idea that Liz had for the reception was to frame prints from this session and to use them a table decorations. I LOVE that idea, especially since some were family pictures, and some were formal bridals. If your wedding and reception are very small, and only have close family and friends, that would also make great favors - let the guests take home a framed picture of you two!
Congratulations again Chris and Liz, and thank you for letting me be a part of your big day.
