Moriah and Wil Dance Their Socks Off

I loved Moriah and Wil's wedding. This is a looong post, because I loved too many of the photos. Moriah planned so many gorgeous details and fun dancing, I couldn't leave anything out!



Moriah's beautiful dress, waiting to be slipped into.
All the women wore pearls. Very classy.


Moriah's mom was her matron of honor! So cool! I love my mom too!
Moriah looking gorgeous before the ceremony.
It took a team of experts to get Wil ready.
Moriah's dad "giving the nervous groom some advice."
Their gorgeous ceremony.
Awwww. Wil loves Moriah.

The bridesmaids lounging at the Westin.
Although Albie absolutely hates jokes about the groom escaping on the wedding day, there was so much joking going on, even Albie got into the spirit, taking this "Last Supper" photo of the groom and his groomsmen.
The Westin Park Central was so gorgeous and did such a great job hosting the wedding.
Wil and Moriah are big movie buffs, and their tables were named after their favorite films.



The first dance begins...
"I've Had the Time of My Life" plays, and Wil and Moriah begin the choreographed dance Baby and Johnny perform in "Dirty Dancing".
Then the zombie bridal party crashes the first dance, performing "Thriller"!
Then the bride turns into a "maniac" with a tribute to "Flashdance".
Wil plays it cool as a Blues Brother in "Soul Man".
The ladies come back for a "Dancing Queen" number from "Mama Mia".
And the first dance ends with a tango from "True Lies". BEST FIRST DANCE EVER!!!
Moriah and Wil continue to dance the night away.

Julie and John: The Other Jules and Albie?

The ceremony was set in the beautiful Fountain Place downtown.
John loves Julie, and he was so excited to see her walk down the aisle.



Loved this little shot of John and Julie leaving the ceremony with her daughter.
Julie and John had one of the coolest cakes I've seen.
Coolest bride and groom cake toppers ever!
A wedding with cake AND desserts. My kind of wedding.
Okay, I've met our doppelgangers. I realized bit by bit the eerie (good eerie) similarities between Julie and John and Jules and Albie. The first time she called, I thought, oh a Julie, just like me, what a coincidence. Then the coincidences fell down a slippery slope. Julie and John were married last month on June 19th. Five years ago, Alberto and I got married on June 19th. At the wedding, Julie's nephew called her "JuJu", which is MY name, according to my nieces and nephew. Now here's the unimaginable clincher: Julie mentions to me in passing that part of RoboCop was filmed at the hotel where their reception was. Alberto and I had our reception at the Studios at Las Colinas, where many of the scenes from RoboCop were filmed! Okay, so here's the recap:

1. Both brides were named Julie.
2. They both married on June 19th.
3. Nephews and nieces have named the brides "JuJu."
3. Their receptions were both held at shooting locations for RoboCop.

Coincidence? Fate? Divine? Meant to be.

Jessica and Ryan Go Clubbing

We had a blast shooting Jessica and Ryan's engagement in Deep Ellum. So fun to play with the funky colors. When we arrived, I got a fab surprise. The area had undergone a facelift, an old red iron gate is now avocado green, and there were new murals everywhere. Yay! A little change spices things up a bit. Special thanks to Club Dada for being so hospitable and inviting us in to shoot in the club.

Stephanie and Mario...The Classy Duo

Getting Gordon ready. Stephanie's wedding dress came with a little white bow on the bust. She decided it was not her style, but perhaps more Gordon's fancy. He wore the hand-me-down embellishment as a bowtie stunningly with his tiny tuxedo.
Regal.








Gordon made it to the party!


Stephanie and Mario tied the knot on June 6th at Oak Lawn United Methodist and held their reception at the Warwick Melrose Hotel. A classy affair, only the supremely classiest A-Listers like Gordon were on the guest list.

Moriah is Married!

Now that Moriah and Wil have happily said their vows and are off on their honeymoon, I can post these gorgeous photos of Moriah's bridal portrait.

Julie and John

All shots were taken at the Arboretum. It was hot, but it was beautiful.



Loved Julie's cool printed blouse.
We shot Julie and John's engagement at the Arboretum. It was beautiful, and surprisingly not too hot for June. Julie and John got married on the 19th. Wedding photos coming soon!

Stephanie's Bridal Portrait

Stephanie Holley has now become Stephanie Dolan, so I am free to post her bridal portraits. She was a gorgeous bride, and I loved all the detailing in her gown and her gorgeous cathedral length veil. We shot Stephanie's bridals in and near the historic Warwick Melrose Hotel, where she and Mario held their wedding on June 6th. Stephanie's bridal portrait had a very classic look, with a little spice, thanks to Gordon, who made an appearance and Stephanie and Mario's engagement shoot and wedding as well.
