Beautiful couple, beautiful location, wonderful decorations, and tons of friends and family there to help celebrate. That's what makes the perfect wedding, and Renae and Chad's definitely fit the bill.
Congratulations Renae and Ryan! And thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day!!
Location: Rose Chapel, Ft. Worth, Texas
I'ave had the chance to shoot lots of different, new places this summer, and the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens was one of the ones I was most excited about. Most especially because this AMAZING family wanted to use the Japanese Gardens for their session. If you haven't been there, you should totally go. There IS an entrance fee, but it's 100% worth it. And it's only about a 30 minute drive from Midlothian, so it doesn't take forever to get there either.
Great family!!! They were so much fun too. We were all hot and sweaty by the end, but we were all cracking up almost the entire time. LOVE THAT!!!!
This family is actually related to me, although I had never met them before the shoot. Some kind of cousins - second? Third? 87th? I'm still not really sure, but I liked 'em so I'll claim them. lol We met at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine in an attempt to outsmart the yucky weather. I think we did good!! There are tons of places to shoot inside under their big dome, and during the summer, when everything is green, I'm thinking it would be pretty great too.
Whew! That's a lot of pictures for one post, but there were so many I really liked that I just couldn't decide. I took my son with me on this shoot because, well, it was family and all, and later that night he asked me if we could move to the Gaylord. He said it was the "fanciest place he's ever been." Of course, Great Wolf Lodge is right across the street, and I'm pretty sure an indoor waterslide trumps "fancy" any day. lol
