Dan and Laura held their wedding in Dallas on July 10th and Karey and I were honored to be photograph their special day.  Their wedding was held at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and their reception was at the Old Red Museum in Dallas’ West End.

Let me just say I love love love Dan and Laura, they are so much fun and are two people that just “get” each other.  I knew they were something special when I photographed their engagement session (which was featured on Dallas Wedding Planner, check out their engagement feature here)  These two are want truly makes my job as a wedding photography the best job. 

So with that said, I hope you enjoy the sneak peak of Dan and Laura’s wedding day.  Oh and stay tuned for Laura’s fun bridal session at The Old Red Museum and more pictures from Dan and Laura’s amazing wedding.

I wanted to take a moment to share with our readers (ok I’m hoping we have some or maybe just a couple) a new wedding and event venue opening up in McKinney, The Terrace at Adriatica.  Ok some maybe wondering what is Adriatica, well its a wonderful community in McKinney that is being modeled after a village in Croatia.   

Well this Sunday, July 25 from 3-5pm they are hosting an open house.  So you can come see this spectacular venue for yourself.  They do have a website  (however its currently under construction), in the meantime though you can visit their Facebook page

If you are looking for a place to host any type of event such as a bridal shower, corporate party, cocktail party, rehearsal dinner, wedding, etc  you should keep The Terrace at Adriatica on your list of places to look at.  I promise you, it will not disappoint.

And we hope to see you at the Open House this Sunday. And of course you are probably wondering where in McKinney its located (duh I shoud have put that earlier) the address is 6609 Virginia Pkwy in  McKinney

I met up with Tammy and Tommy yesterday for their fabulous engagement session in Dallas.  I just love these two, they are so sweet together.  Plus they are a photographer’s dream and did anything I asked them to, no questions asked. Love that!  So here is a sneak peak of their engagement session and stayed tuned for more.

Austin turns 5.  We had the pleasure to be a part of Austin’s 5th birthday party hosted at Marc Events in Dallas.  This is not just any 5 years old birthday party, it’s Austin whose mom just happens to be the wonderful, and talented Shari Johns of As You Wish.  She wanted to turn Marc Events into the Batcave so she called upon the fabulous Marla Watson-Werst of PeaPod Group to make it happen.  With these two ladies joining forces, you just know the party is going to be AMAZING!!  And of course it was.

The girls of PeaPod helped the kids make their own batman masks.  You can see a Austin hard at work making his mask.  I loved arts and crafts as a kid and thought it was awesome they set up an arts and crafts table (plus it includes puffy paint and who doesn’t love that)

Ok so you put a bunch of kids together and you are bound to get a good time. So check out these amazing birthday party pictures.

Each food station on the buffet was batman themed like penguin pretzels or posion ivy punch.  It was so cute.

Check out the John’s family below is their spiffy Batman attire. So cute!

Babies, ok enough said.

Ok this is such an amazing cake and I just love the cake stand.  Lauren with Fancy Cakes by Lauren really outdid herself and its was outfitted with some crazy trick candles.  Yes gotta love the candles that you can never blow out.

And what Batman Birthday is complete without a visit from Batman himself.

All of the kids were enthralled but I think Austin’s dad Bobby got the most excited (See picture above with man with batman shirt)  He was extra giddy.

Ok I’m sure the parent’s loved all this sugar but the cupcake decorating station was so cute and even Batman made a cupcake.

Marla of the PeaPod Group and Shari Johns of As You Wish.  I just love these ladies.

Marla and the girls of PeaPod had to get a picture with Batman. I mean come on girls, he’s hunky, right?

Of course the birthday boy had to snap a picture with Batman.  Also check out the really cool party favors that the kids were sent home with.  Each kid received their own batman belt.

Happy 5th Birthday Austin!! I had a blast photographing your fun birthday party.

In honor of Stephanie’s wedding in Dallas today, I wanted to share a couple of her bridal pics.  She is absolutely stunning and it killed me that I had to wait to share these.

So congrats Stephanie and Adam!!!  You two are now married!!  Its time to Partay!!

Back in December I photographed The Frierson’s 25th wedding anniversary celebration at Oakmont Country Club in Corinth.   I have to admit this was my first anniversary celebration I have photographed.  I’m not sure why everyone hires a photographer to photogrpah their wedding but not everyone thinks to hire one for their anniversary celebrations.  Is that just as important?  10, 25, 50 years etc is a milestone and should be documentated just the same.

The Frierson’s are the most genuine, humble individuals and while I was there, I could sense how much every cared for them.  They have some great people they call family and friends. I can’t say enough nice things about them.  So with that said, enjoy the pics.

Congrats and I wish you another 25 years of wedded bliss.
