It seems like the Belo Mansion is my home away from home. In the past six weeks, I’ve been there no less than five times, both as a photographer and as a wedding guest, and my sample albums are filled with images from various weddings I’ve been blessed to shoot there. It is without a doubt one of the most popular and beautiful venues in Dallas, and how fitting that I should photograph one of my most beautiful brides there! Andrea is one of those classic beauties, a girl whose stunning face would be revered in virtually any period in history. Whether she’s smiling, laughing, or being serious, you just can’t take your eyes off of her. I also completely fell in love with her dress, which was as regal and elegant as she is! Here are some of my favorites from her bridal session at Belo Mansion!

Lindsey is the type of bride I live for: head over heels in love, overjoyed to be getting married, practically glowing with excitement and happiness, and wanting everyone around her to be as blissfully happy as she is. You just can’t be around Lindsey without feeling that infectious joy yourself, which makes photographing her a super fun experience. Not to mention that she is a stunner! I just love her gorgeous bone structure, her face is so unique and defined and every time I look at her I think she belongs in a high fashion magazine is some brilliant piece of haute couture. Here are some of my favorites from her bridal session at George Bush Library in College Station:

- I like the website, and I'm really inspired by your photography
- I attended your last workshop and LOVE EVERY SECOND of it! I learned so much! I did increased my price and haven't feel guilty ever since. Not working for free is the best thing ever! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us! Great workshop and I recommend newbies to take this workshop. Worth every penny!
Today is a Twofer Tuesday! Not only do I have some photos of an absolutely stunning bride to show you, but I’ve also uploaded a new info page all about bridal sessions. I’ve been seeing a lot of brides making the same mistakes or asking the same questions, so I decided that it was about time to put my experience shooting bridals down in print. You can check out the new Preparing for Your Bridal Session page under the “For Brides & Grooms” menu above, or by clicking here.
For now, here are some of my favorites from the lovely Melissa’s bridal session at Arlington Hall and Lee Park in the Turtle Creek area of downtown Dallas!

Emily Porter (now Oberlander!) is a good friend of mine and fellow photographer from little ol’ West Virginia, where she is dominating the wedding photography industry. I was so honored to be able to photograph her bridal session recently at one of my favorite venues, the gorgeous NYLO Hotel in Plano. The NYLO is super friendly towards photographers and photoshoots and has a very low , which is so rare and hard to find, so I love shooting there as much as possible! It’s also a great place to stay, if you’re visiting the area – the food is phenomenal, the beds are very comfy, and their pool scene is always rocking on the weekends. It’s hands down my favorite hotel chain! The quirky and modern decor there completely fit Emily’s unique style and her inner sass. Here are a few of my favorites from her session:

There’s just something about Kelly. Her engagements, bridals, and her wedding have all been some of my favorite shoots of all time. It is her unique sense of style and her Martha-Stewart-esque craftiness? Is it her uncanny ability to pick the best locations, the best props, the best outfits, and of course the best husband? Or is it just the fact that she’s incredibly beautiful and makes my job way easy? The world may never know. I’ll be sharing heaps of photos of Kelly over the next few months, but today we’ll get started with her bridal session at the NYLO Hotel in Plano – hands down my favorite hotel in the Dallas area. They have the best decor, the best food, the best service, the best rooms (and cheap, too!), and they’re really friendly and accommodating to photographers, which is a refreshing change of pace. It’s the place I’m holding my workshop, and it’s the only place I recommend to people staying in the North Dallas area. I can’t really recommend them enough!
Back to Kelly – she decided on the NYLO based solely on my recommendation, and I think my description of its “funky urban loft vibe” worried her Texas-country-girl sensibilities. It turned out to be a perfect match, because the bright orange and brown decor matched her wedding colors (orange and brown) perfectly! Here are some of my favorite shots from her session:

- Great work Stacy! Love that location :)
- These are amazing, I absolutely love your style!
- very nice wedding photos!
- I'm obsessed with her dress. It's so gorgeous. And I love that her shoes and invites match Nylo! lol
- Awe, thanks for all the kind words! You did such an amazing job on all of my photos...the only problem I'm having it picking which ones I like the best...they are all so great!! It was a pleasure working with you!!!!
- I love it! You look absolutely BEAUTIFUL..
- Baby, you look absolutely gorgeous. I had several co-workers come by my desk to look at your bridal portraits, since I had never seen them, and after we had seen about 2 or 3 of the pictures, I told one of the guys that I needed to sit down, because I was getting weak in the knees. He replied to me and said, "Uhm, Tan, you are sitting down. Are you okay?" It was then that I realized that you can sweep me off of my feet, even when I am not standing on them. I don't know what I did or didn't do, that God would allow someone like me, to be with someone like you, but I thank Him, each and every day for having you in my life and being able to love you. You are my dream come true, and words cannot describe how much I love you. Many years ago, my dad gave my mom a plaque, and on it was this little enscription that said, " I do not love you, because I need you; I need you, because I love you." I never gave it much thought, but after you came into my life, I now know exactly what it means. You are my world, and I cannot wait to become a family.... I love you!!!! me
- Love, love, love the pictures! Great job Stacy and Kelly wow you look amazing, so glad I got to be there that day! Love ya Kelly, and Tan...you are so sweet! Melissa
- Absolutely gorgeous photo's and beautiful bride!
- HOLY BEAUTIFUL DRESS! AND BRIDE. Stacy, these are FABTABULOUS! for reals.
- Just came here to see about updates on Sundays workshop but dropped my jaw when I saw these bridals! So gorgeous, I wish it were me in that dress! I was going to list my favorites, but there are to many!
- These are so lovely! I liked them before but now even moreso after seeing the NYLO in person.
- Amazing work as always! Your attention to detail is brilliant (and having such a gorgeous bride never hurts either)!!
- I've been to the NYLO and you rocked this shoot!
- Classic shot in the window, love it
I love photographing doctors. I love photographing brides from Lousiana. I love photographing women with a timeless, classic sense of style. I love photographing Aggies and brides of Aggies. So, as Jennifer is all of these things, you can imagine that having her as a client was pretty wonderful from my point of view. There are so many cool things about Jennifer and her now-husband Jimmy’s wedding that I can’t wait to share, but for now we’ll all have to settle with her lovely bridal session!

Julie is one heck of a cool woman. She’s beautiful, charming, stylish, fun to be around, kind, smart, all the things you’d want in a wife, friend, and client. I adore her to pieces, and I was pretty sad when their wedding ended, knowing I wouldn’t be able to photographer her any more. Here are some of my favorites from her bridal session at Arlington Hall in Dallas.
