Kevin and Larry were wed over the summer in a private ceremony but they wanted to celebrate their union with family and friends too. So they held a wedding reception at the Tower Club in Dallas. It was emotion-filled, beautiful, fun, filled with love and everything one could dream of at their wedding. Larry and Kevin exchanged vows in front of their loved ones, and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house, mine were hidden by my camera. It was really the perfect evening and of course, tons of dancing!!

I wanted to capture some photos of these two getting ready for their wedding reception, and they really know how to bring the laughter. We then headed downstairs to take some romantic and creative portraits in the streets of Dallas. They were met with lots of congratulations and well wishes. Really warmed my heart to see others give words of encouragement.

I was told by Kevin that Larry can be a little shy with photos, I was ready for the challenge. I think we did good really capturing the essence of their love and passion together while adding an artistic flair to the photos.

This is where the tears started for me, Larry was so sweet and emotional as he said his vows to Kevin. He really puts his heart out there and that I find beautiful and inspiring.

They really had fun with feeding each other cake and went for it. Good times!!!

Lots of heartfelt speeches followed and the image below has to be one of my favorites. The emotion and love shown by Kevin’s mom is priceless while Kevin’s dad couldn’t have more joy for his son. It is a beautiful moment.

Larry was sooooooo NOT shy on the dance floor. He can move!!!!

They did a stuffed animal toss with Winnie Pooh characters that really fit their personalities. It was so fun to have everyone out on the dance floor to try and catch them.

Their private last dance was so emotional and I couldn’t narrow down the photos for this blog post, so you can really get a sense of how they felt.

A BIG Congrats to Kevin and Larry as they start their married life together. I am sooooo happy for you both and was the greatest honor to be your wedding photographer at your wedding reception at the Tower Club in Dallas. I wish you all the happiness and laughter in the world!!!
