The best of weddings, engagements, and portraits from the best year for this little business yet. I love my couples and clients with my whole soul and it’s only because of them that I get to do what I do. I couldn’t be more thankful for each and every person who has allowed me to document their best moments this year.

My heart is so thankful + so full. So wonderfully full.

If there ever was a picture perfect wedding day, it was this one. Heather and Javier’s wedding day welcomed the most beautiful November weather Dallas has to offer as they tied the knot at the Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park. Heather and Javier were surrounded by their nearest and dearest as they said their vows in an intimate ceremony on the lawn, followed by a brunch reception featuring a donut wall they crafted themselves.

Leslie and Marshall’s day was absolutely perfect in every single way. I’ve gotten to follow along with their relationship from the beginning, as they have trusted me to document their first pictures together as a couple, to their  river-side engagement pictures at a local nature reserve, to finally, their beautiful July wedding day. Leslie knew she wanted a gorgeous, yet less traditional, venue for her wedding day, so she settled on the Maytag Event Complex in Newton, Iowa, just outside of Des Moines. This stunning historic warehouse was home to a Maytag washing machine factory many years ago, and has since been converted into a multi-level event venue, filled with natural light and vintage details.

I don’t know about y’all, but goodness, I am the WORST ever about printing pictures. Being a wedding and engagement photographer, you would think that I would have printed photographs displayed all throughout my home. However, the opposite of that is true. I spend so much time clicking and capturing photos, that I rarely take the time to print images to display. Truly, this is a tragedy, and I have seen this trend with so many other people around me – I know it’s noooot just me who has this problem! We download our gallery and change our phone wallpaper and facebook profile picture, but then our stunning photos stay simply as digital pixels, instead of becomingming meaningful, lasting, tangible memories as pieces of art in our homes.

Alyssa summed it up perfectly at the end of the evening as we walked back to the venue: “I’m going to cry because it’s over and because this was the happiest day of my life.” It truly was a joyful, beautiful, and happy-tear-filled day as friends and family gathered to celebrate the new Mr. and Mrs. DiCrasto.

To every single individual, family, couple, or senior who trusted me to document your special moments this year, thank you. Truly. You make this dream of mine a reality and I could not be more deeply thankful for the honor of being chosen to capture and preserve your memories.  

2017, you’ve been a dream. 

This wedding day was the most uniquely beautiful day. The bride and groom were the sweetest, most genuine couple. When my second shooter Alyssa (of Alyssa Masters Photography) and I met the couple for the first time, they instantly made us feel at home. The day was full of celebration and the atmosphere was joyous, upbeat, quirky, and fun. Drew and Michaila, we could not be more thrilled for the two of you to begin your life together. Enjoy all the precious details of their lovely day, held in the most intimate historic warehouse.

Oh my lantaaaaa Georgia. These two. This day. Her dress. What a dream. This was six months after Hayley and Caleb said “I do” in a precious ceremony in Oregon, Wisconsin. While they loved their wedding day, the day was full of rain and the timeline was rushed, so they wanted to celebrate their six month anniversary with more bridal portraits. They exuded pure joy and their sweet, newly-married intimacy made our time together effortless.
