We took Laura’s bridal portraits at the canals awhile ago but kept then hidden until after the wedding. Now that she’s married we can share them with you!

We recently found out that we were voted as one of the The Knot’s 2010 Best of Weddings! Thank you to everyone who voted for us! We’re listed in the Spring/Summer 2010 issue of The Knot: Texas, which is in stores now. It’s such an honor because it’s based on surveys where brides & grooms vote on their favorite local wedding professionals, and we’re so excited to have been chosen. Thank you!!!

Vanessa and Tanner’s wedding was at the very awesome and unique Hickory Street Annex. The weather report threatened rain all day, but the rain held off until the reception was underway. Yay! Vanessa and Tanner are all smiles when they’re together; you can tell they’re perfect for each other and very happy together. They even took some time during the reception to have a few moments to themselves. Darek was a big fan of Tanner’s music choices, especially the instrumental Radiohead. Meredith Commender of Significant Events of Texas did a wonderful job with all of the coordination, and everything went perfectly. It was a beautiful day!

The huge windows are a perfect place to hang the dress:

Getting ready takes a lot of help:

Writing a note to Vanessa:

Vanessa really wanted to read her vows from her iPhone:

We went outside for a few quick pictures, and about 5 minutes after we came in it started raining – perfect timing!

Some of the fabulous details:

First dance:

I’m pretty sure this is the “Do it and I’ll kill you” look:

We saw some impressive dance moves:

Vanessa and Tanner, thanks so much for choosing us to capture your day! We wish you all the best!

Laura and Alex are friends of Amy and Blake, whose wedding we did almost exactly a year ago. Laura’s sister had actually been a bridesmaid and recommended us, which is always a wonderful compliment! Laura and Alex had a gorgeous wedding last weekend – even the weather was perfect. They had a beautiful ceremony at the St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Grapevine and an action-packed, fun filled reception at the Timarron Country Club. The families were excited to celebrate the coming together of Czech and Brazilian cultures, and observed several of the wedding traditions, which we found really interesting!

The flowers were just beautiful:

Laura carried her Great-Grandmother’s rosary in her bouquet:

Our fabulous assistant Heather captured this shot of Laura getting ready to go out for the ceremony:

Post-ceremony hugs:

Checking out the rings:

Some portraits at the church:

They did a wonderful job with the details at Timarron Country Club; everything looked absolutely amazing:

The rosemary was part of a Czech tradition, so we thought it would be a good place for the rings:

They did a Grand March which led into their First Dance, where they danced surrounded by their families and friends (tricky to photograph, but a very cool thing to do!):

Parent dances:

The winners of the Anniversary Dance:

Laura’s Grandparents have been married over 60 years – now that’s impressive:

For the Last Dance, everyone formed a circle around Laura and Alex, and then they went around and said their goodbyes:

Laura and Alex, congratulations! We hope you’ve been having a wonderful time in Bora Bora!
