J.B. and Kelly created the most unique wedding I have documented so far and they will always be a special couple to me. We did two engagement sessions that were a blast and J.B. even made it out to a gallery party that my work was at. It's been a wonderful relationship from beginning to end.
They also have the coolest love story : They are both from the same town in West Virginia where they knew each other. Then, they both separately moved to the Dallas area and found each other again and started dating. Someone at the wedding even joked about just how far they moved from their hometown to end up finding each other anyway. It was just meant to be; and to top it all off; it snowed that night in March out of the blue. I think something was in the air!
J.B. is a graphic designer and he did much of the typography at the wedding and they both worked hard to create a modern wedding all their own. I think they achieved that! My favorite part is that the wedding and reception were in commercial photography studios with edgeless walls. It created the illusion that they were floating in space rather than being on a floor. It was just way too fun! I could just go on an on and on....but I won't.....I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.
Some of the songs from the night:
"When Love Takes Over" by David Guetta
"Canadian Girl" by The Walkmen
"What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong
"Digital Love" by Daft Punk
"I Gotta a Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas
"Country Roads" by John Denver

Chillon and Jeremy had a gorgeous wedding at the Warwick Melrose mostly due to Chillon's attention to the details and also finding a fantastic florist to make it happen (Debbie Jewesson). The wedding was a blast as well as the guests. They were all just so nice and the toasts made me smile really big behind my camera. That always makes my night!

Karla and Jeremy were so willing to have fun, kiss, and laugh.....and....they brought just about the cutest dog ever. This dog knew just what to do to get a great portrait of himself. It was so funny! The weather couldn't have been any better either!

I don't even know where to start with this one. I just kept smiling throughout the night and just had a blast. J.B. and Kelly are a picture perfect model of my dream clients. They infused so much of their personalities into their wedding and truly made it a celebration. I have so much to show you. Here is a just a peek to get things kicked off.

I stumbled upon this charity event where a whole bunch of great wedding photographers that I respect auctioned off some of their time to mentor other photographers. I won two of these auctions and got to spend some phone time with The Humphries and Ned Jackson.
The Humphries used to be located in Southern California, but recently made the big move to Denver, CO. They are very well respected photographers and do incredible work. I really enjoyed my conversation with Katie Humphrey and the advice she gave me about becoming a better photographer. I finished that mentor session a little overwhelmed with everything I need to do, but it's also exciting to know just how much opportunity there is as a Dallas Wedding Photographer.
Ned Jackson was a blast to talk to. He has a great personality and works out of Boston, MA. He has grown his business organically and gave me some tips on how he did that as well as some other advice to provide a better overall experience to my clients. He has a real laid back personality that I am sure has been a big part of his success. Just an overall great guy!
I hope to have the opportunity to meet them in person one day. Maybe WPPI next year! :)
