Tracey & Ed's Wedding

You may remember Tracey and Ed from their bright popping colorful engagement portraits!

Their wedding took place on a warm summer evening on the Terrace at Moody Gardens. It was absolutely beautiful, with the ethereal music of a harp and nothing but the sky above them as they took one another's hands in marriage. The reception was full of dear friends, family, and fun! The couple had a table full of wedding portraits of family and friends who had been married for over thirty years (some of them incredible heirloom portraits), and gave guests seashell-handled bottle openers as favors. At the children's table, there were plenty of shimmering copper cupcakes to go around.

Tracey's florals were absolutely stunning-- not over the top tropical, but bright pinks and peaches (and even artichokes in the centerpeices!) were great with her cream/chocolate browns... and of course her gorgeous red hair and clear blue eyes. Also of note-- the cute cake-toppers! Ed's a golfer, folks ; )

Lucky for us, one of Ed's aunts left her pretty orange parasol at the ceremony, so we were able to grab it and use it for some together-pics of Tracey and Ed. The grand staircase reminded me so much of a cruise ship, with the bright evening sun shining in the windows behind it.

Megan & Jonathon

Megan and Jonathon, who reside in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, had a late-autumn wedding decorated with rich, decadent fall colors and the smiling faces of their family and friends. Held at Ashelynn Manor in Magnolia, their dusk ceremony took place inside the Vintage Chapel (where we stopped for some stunning shadowy portraits of the newlyweds afterward) and the reception took place in the Carriage House, a large red barn bedecked with chandeliers. They danced the night away to the sounds of Michael Buble, and guests left with bags full of custom-labelled Megan-and-Jonathon Hershey kisses and hugs.

The staff on hand at Ashelynn Manor were wonderful to work with, expertly coordinating the day's events. It's a fabulously quaint and well-cared-for facility-- and quite frankly, a wonderful place to shoot. Check out the staircase shot!
