I was eagerly awaiting Demar and Stephanie’s wedding all year long!!! I loved Stephanie the moment we met at my office and I knew I wanted to be her wedding photographer. Her main focus for her wedding was making sure her family had a great time and had yummy food, well besides marrying the man of her dreams. Demar and Stephanie picked my favorite chapel, Bella Donna Chapel in McKinney, to get married and then had their wedding reception at Gather in McKinney. Gather is really the perfect setting for an intimate wedding reception and I love all the shabby chic and vintage decor they have, and the chandeliers. I don’t know why, but seeing pretty chandeliers makes my heart happy. They are so classic and pretty and elegant and timeless.  They had the perfect ceremony and the weather was gorgeous!!! It totally made up for their engagement session being rained out twice. The sky was a clear blue and we got some really pretty photos with them against that gorgeous blue sky.  Well plus I don’t think it is possible to take at bad photo at Bella Donna at Adriatica. It is so picture perfect.

Stephanie has the greatest laugh!!!! Oh and I love love love Stephanie’s dress, so pretty!!!!

See I had to incorporate the chandelier into a getting ready shot.

The detail of this dress and the lace was stunning!!!

I think he wanted to whistle at Stephanie and how gorgeous she looked.

He couldn’t get his ring on and he was sweating and I love this look from him, so priceless!!!!

My favorite part of a wedding is after the couple walks down the aisle and that sense of stress is gone and then they get so many hugs and congrats from their family and friends. It’s such a sweet time and I love capturing the joy people have.

See picture perfect!!!

Stephanie came up to me and asked me what I thought of the decor at her reception and I exclaimed how gorgeous everything was. She picked colors that went perfectly with the decor already in Gather.

I started seeing Demar tear up and I started getting tears in my eyes. Of course I always tear up behind my camera when someone gives an emotional speech. It happens at every single wedding!!

This guy is notorious for his photo bombing and talked me into letting him photo bomb Demar and Stephanie dancing, and knowing them, they laughed when they saw this photo.

Congrats Demar and Stephanie and it was such an honor to celebrate your special day with you!!!
