Kori and Mitch had beautiful weather, and a beautiful wedding to match. They were married at the First United Methodist Church in Mansfield, which is a special place for Kori. It’s also a great church to shoot at – they understand the importance of having good wedding photos – and it’s beautiful as well. The reception was at Victory Arts Center in Fort Worth, which is one of the coolest wedding venues we’ve ever been to. Take all that and add a wonderful, sweet, very in-love couple surrounded by great family and friends, and some fabulous details, and it was the perfect day!

Darek got to hear some interesting paramedic stories; a little different than the usual groomsmen pre-ceremony talk. I think this picture is funny because it looks like Mitch is giving a lecture:

Darek had a great vantage point for the ceremony and caught some wonderful emotion:

The light was beautiful when we arrived at Victory Arts Center, so of course we had to take advantage of it:

The details were wonderful:

Kori and Mitch had personalized caramel apples as favors – I thought this was such a cool and unique idea!

We snuck out for a few cool night pictures:

We caught Mitch’s mom doing the Thriller dance:

I think this picture is funny; there’s a lot going on:

They were sent off by super-extra-long sparklers!

Kori wanted a shot of the 4 bridesmaids spelling Love with sparklers, so we had a lot of fun getting this one. The “E” was definitely the hardest letter!

Kori and Mitch, congratulations! It was wonderful to be able to work with you guys!

We did Zack’s senior pictures around the Filter House at White Rock Lake, which was awesome! I’d never been over there before, but it’s a really cool area. Zack wasn’t crazy about having his pictures taken (like most guys in high school) but he was a good sport for us. Here are some of my favorites -

Mickey’s mom has a large print of his sister when she was younger, and wanted to have one of Mickey to match, so we journeyed down to the Arboretum to take some pictures. His sister Gracie got in for a few shots too. These kids are just adorable – super sweet and friendly, and very excited to take photos. We had a lot of fun!

This one probably won’t make the big wall portrait, but I thought it was a cute picture of him playing around:

This one makes me laugh – you can just tell he’s thinking “Come on; no pictures now – I just want to throw rocks!”

The big reward for taking pictures was getting to visit the pumpkin patch and house at the end:

And this last one was Mickey’s suggestion; he wanted me to take a picture of this thing, and I thought it turned out pretty well! Good eye, Mickey!

It was time for the annual photos with the Champions! This year we headed to downtown Grapevine to use the awesomeness that is their downtown area. The Champions all have fabulous personalities and are so much fun to take pictures of!
