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:

Beautiful bride, beautiful dress, beautiful location.. I really get far too much credit for taking pretty photos – with a bride like Jessica in a place like this, taking stunning bridal portraits is child’s play. I’m especially in love with Jessica’s two piece Winnie Couture wedding gown, as well as those FABULOUS blue suede shoes! Shooting at Villa Antonia in Austin is always a pleasure – everywhere you turn is a new and even more lovely spot, and the incredible views of Lake Travis are the perfect backdrop for a wedding or portrait session. Here are some of my faves from her session:

- Love looking at your work, Stacy. So beautiful!
- I was looking through your website after looking at a session you did for a co-worker, Garrett, from Jamie and Garrett's engagement photos. Love you work! I was reading the FAQ section and realized our line of thinking is very similar! I often look through magazines and online for ideas, especially before a shoot. I shoot with a Canon 7D. But I have not experimented yet with an off camera flash. The trouble I have is that I have great ideas before a session and I'm thinking of all the poses I want to do and arrangements, possible backgrounds, ect. But then when I actually get to the session my mind goes blank!! It's the scariest feeling! I'm like "where did all of those great ideas go, I need them to come back!!". I have managed to get through them and come up with a few good poses, but recently I've left the session feeling very uneasy and just hoping I got enough to not ruin a reputation I'm just trying to build. I hope that feeling gets better and goes away with experience to where I feel very confident everytime. anyway- just wanted to say a few words and that I love your work!
Bec - awesome, I LOVE the dress, great job. I love the images of her under the veil. lovely colours also.
Ashley - Once again great photos, and i agree love that dress.
Phil Stefans - Wow! That shot of the bride on the lounge is superb. Fantastic exposure and lighting!
RedSphere Wedding Photographer - Incredible! Love the tones and the light is perfect!
