I’m so excited to finally share Lauren and Jeff’s OW Ranch wedding, now that it has been featured on Style Me Pretty! There’s something so special about an outdoor ranch wedding. Being surrounded by the beauty of nature in a rustic setting that almost forces you to relax creates a lovely, laid back atmosphere that can’t go wrong. One thing I particularly loved about Lauren and Jeff’s wedding was all of the color! When I walked into the reception and saw every color of the rainbow, I absolutely fell in love. Debby Jewesson of Branching Out really outdid herself with this one. There were so many creative containers, such as plaster urns, wooden boxes, vintage tins, and mason jars, filled with every kind of flower and unique touches like moss, acorns, ferns, and quartz crystal. Everywhere you turned there was a new and interesting centerpiece. I must have taken a million photos trying to catalog all of the beautiful touches! Lauren told me that she when she decided to have no specific wedding colors, she got a lot of strange looks and had a lot of people try to talk her out of it, but I am so glad she held her ground! Entertainment was provided by Maximum Acoustic, the delicious Mexican food at the reception came courtesy of Wind Hill Catering, and the wedding cakes were created by Granbury Cakes. The bride wore a Marisa gown from Patsy’s Bridal Boutique in Highland Park, and the bridesmaid’s stunning dress was created by a family friend. Here are some of my favorites from their wedding:

I love New Orleans. I mean, I don’t just love it, I looooooove it. Not a week goes by that Jason and I don’t talk about when our next trip will be, and every time we do go down to the Big Easy, we come back making plans to pack up and move down there. Don’t get me wrong, I am a Texas girl born and bred, I love my Dallas roots, but there’s something so magical about New Orleans. The music is the best in the world, the food is to die for, the architecture is beautiful, and there’s always something fun and exciting to do. It’s also a photographer’s dream city – everywhere you look is a photo op, and it’s virtually impossible to run out of stunning backdrops for portraits and weddings and environmental shots. Any chance I get to take photos in New Orleans, I absolutely jump on, so I was beyond thrilled when Annie and Chris invited me to photograph their NOLA wedding earlier this year. Annie took me under her wing and taught me some very valuable Big Easy staples – the to-go cup, the St. Charles street car, Magazine Street, the glorious Muriel’s Restaurant, and my absolute favorite wedding tradition of all time – the Second Line. I loved it so much, I decided to do it at my own wedding! I will forever be grateful to Annie and Chris for showing me a side to the Crescent City that I never knew existed. Here are a few (okay, a LOT!) of my favorites from their wedding day:

- Just found your site, love you stuff! Your pics are awesome! Oh, and a huge thanks for writing your pricing guide!
- Stacy, you are incredibly talented. Your wedding shots inspire me! Fabulous wedding shots!
Generally when you see a couple this attractive, you just assume they must have some major flaw, some chink in their perfect armor. Maybe they’re snobby, or not very nice, or not very smart, or not very interesting. This couldn’t be further from the truth with Jessica and Charlie. To an outsider, they seem to have it all together. They are warm, nice, loving people who come from two joyful families that seemed to be thrilled to see them married, they have awesome, supportive friends who partied the whole night long, and of course they’ve got that whole Aggie thing going for them, too! I kept catching myself grinning at this wedding, unable to resist the contagious joy from all the fun and super-nice people I was surrounded by. This is the kind of wedding I live to shoot – two genuinely good people surrounded by loving family and friends, celebrating their love without a care in the world. Here are some of my favorite photographs from their wedding at Villa Antonia in Austin Texas:

- awesome shots Stacy! You have such a talent for posing groups the bridal party portraits are unreal!! :D
- Loved everything about this wedding. I must say, the one pic that took my breath away is the one by the tree and they are kissing. LOVELY <3
- Inspirational to say the least, having looked through many weddings on your blog - this one is outstanding!!!
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Julie & Colin’s wedding in Odessa. I’d never been to the Midland-Odessa area, which is famous for football (the book, movie, and TV show Friday Night Lights are all based on Odessa high school football) oil, and being the hometown of former President George W. Bush. All in all, Odessa is the epitome of the archetypical west Texas town, and even though as a Texas native myself I know better than to believe all the silly stereotypes, I have to admit that as Jena and I drove past the miles and miles of flat country land surrounded by windmills, oil rigs, and deserted buildings, I began to wonder what kind of wedding I was going to experience. Luckily, Midland-Odessa’s oil heritage ensures that there is definitely a culture of class and sophistication in these small towns, and Julie and Colin’s wedding was as sophisticated and beautiful as any you might find here in the “big city” of Dallas. Here are a few of my favorites from their wedding:

- Some of the most hilarious reception photos I've ever seen! A couple in love, beautiful decor, and a great group of friends and family. All the components of a fabulous wedding!
- Love the shot of Julie and Colin dancing with the warm video light and the cool flash! Beautiful!
I’m not sure who is more excited for these photos to finally be public – Autumn or me! I’ve been holding onto this gem of a wedding for months, but now that Style Me Pretty has published the images, I can finally show them off! Autumn’s wedding had some of the most lovely details and locations I’ve ever seen. Everywhere I turned, I saw attractive people, gorgeous buildings, pretty flowers, and amazing views. It was like a wedding pulled straight out of a magazine! Thankfully, this wedding was genuine and real, with more than a few tearful moments. Here are some of my favorite images from the day:
Catering: Sterling Affairs
Florist: Visual Lyrics
Cake Bakery: Simon Lee Bakery
Bride’s Gown: Cymbeline Paris
Bridesmaids’ Attire: Vineyard by Melissa Sweet
Groom’s Attire: Calvin Klein

- Helly Stacy :) I love how you frame all in the portraits session. I can almost hear you leading them for those sessions and see what you say and hint. Though I only have the privilege of the images, I can pretty much figure out the conversations flowing. Thank you for your work, as always, it inspires me to be a better photographer every month. I will be in Dallas in a couple of weeks and would LOVE to meet you but I how busy you are, but in any event, I wish you a wonderful month and God bless you, martin

Remember the adorable couple whose engagement session I raved about just a few days ago? Well, they’re back, and their wedding has every bit as much life, energy, and happiness as their engagement session does. Everywhere these two go, they light up a room, and it doesn’t surprise me that they both surround themselves with equally friendly and likable people. I can’t help but brag about how my clients are some of the nicest, warmest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met, and Ashley and Matt are the epitome of that. It also didn’t hurt that Ashley (who worked for awhile at Anthropologie) has an amazing sense of style and incorporated her fantastic design sense into their wedding decor. With Ashley’s help, DFW Events and The Garden Gate Floral (the same team who will be working with me on my wedding!) created a fabulous combination of wooden vessels, candlelight, succulents, and burnt orange fall florals to honor Ashley and Matt’s Longhorn alma mater at the Lakewood Country Club. Here are some of my favorites from their wedding:
Ashley kept a diary during her engagement, and wrote a daily note describing the different things she loved about Matt. What an amazing gift to give your new husband!
Matt and Ashley chose to do a First Look, and they took a moment to sit and pray together before their ceremony. It was a really quiet and moving moment for me, and I think it was a wonderful way to start their marriage.
LOVE Matt’s Alamo cake! How quintessentially Southern of him – I would expect no less from a classic Texas gentleman.

Every photographer relishes a chance to shoot something different, so when Rebecca’s mom Lisa asked me if I would be interested in photographing Rebecca and Victor’s very unique wedding, I absolutely jumped at the opportunity. Rebecca and Victor live in Chile, where they both work as architects and live with their son, Sam. They decided to get hitched during a trip back to the States to visit Rebecca’s family, but they did it in an intimate, special way. So special that the wedding was just featured on Style Me Pretty!
First up on the docket was a trip to the Justice of the Peace to make things official..
Next we headed to a Fort Worth landmark, the famous Joe T. Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant, which has quite possibly the most beautiful grounds I’ve ever seen at a restaurant (perfect for a rehearsal dinner or a small reception!). Luckily we managed to squeeze in a short Day After-style session before the guests arrived.
I love that Rebecca chose a fun sundress instead of a traditional white dress.. I think it really fits the couple as well as their wedding, and who doesn’t love a splash of color?
Their son, Sam, was celebrating his birthday that week as well, so they had both wedding cake and birthday cake!
This was a really cool moment.. Rebecca and Victor read special messages to each other written in the other’s native language. Even though I couldn’t understand a word Rebecca said, I still teared up a little.. I’m a sucker for toasts!!
Rebecca, Victor, and Sam – thanks for allowing me to experience your fabulous wedding, and I hope the three of you are safe and sound in Chile right now!
