I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of John and Christi’s gorgeous wedding and now I bring you part 2.  This was such a fun reception.  I mean how can you not have fun with tons of dancing, a photo booth, a candy table, and yummy cake. 

The reception was beautifully decorated and the lighting really transformed the space.  As a photographer, I just love lighting and it just makes the reception space pop.

I loved in the middle of the candy table was a tree you could leave a message for the couple.  It is such a great idea and I’m sure John and Christi loved reading all those special sentiments. 

Oh and I almost forgot, this wedding was featured on Dallas Bridal Buzz, click here to check it out.

I also want to give a big huge thanks to all the wonderful vendors that made this wedding happen and made Karey and I’s job so easy.

I’m so excited to share these photos with you.  They are featured on Polka Dot Bride so I get to share them (I’ve been dying to)

Let me just start off saying that I loved loved loved this engagement session.  I’m a huge fan of the Classic 1930′s and 40′s film noir.  They are mysterious, dark, sexual, moody, witty, and down right gritty.  I love the characters and how they play off each other, I’m in awe of the lighting, the drama of it all.  If you haven’t watched Strangers on a Train, or Double Indemnity you are so missing out.  I urge you to go rent it (red box, netflix, blockbuster) and curl up with you sweetie and watch. 

So when John and Valerie came to me, the first thing they said is they wanted something cinematic for their engagement session.  The two met while working at a local movie theater and John is an aspiring actor.  So we played around with some ideas and came up with the concept of creating their own film noir but in still images.  We cast John as the detective and Valerie as the infamous femme fatale.  Ok so now we had our leads, then we set out to find a gritty, run down motel, costumes for both of them and of course props.  We were then ready to make our movie.  So sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show.
