I don’t know about you folks up north but here in Dallas it’s already blazin’ hot. It’s time to take your engagements where the land meets the water. There are so many ways to capture your love on the water.

It’s no secret… if you know me at all you know I have a LOVE/OBSESSION/AFFAIR for Gold (and white). Gold flatware is top of the list. A rare and probably hardly noticed sunkissed detail but ooh la la – a little dose of glitter and glam please!

a garden affair

Think of the most beautiful wedding you have ever seen… Now multiply that by ten! That’s Brittany and Jamie’s wedding in the garden at Marie Gabrielle, in Dallas. It was such a lovely affair for a couple so in love. And to top it all off, Brittany’s daddy surprised the couple with jaw dropping, 1800′s stained glass windows. They were rescued by monks from a church in Wisconsin that was being torn down. They will blow you away! Thank you to Amanda with Backroad photography for second shooting with me!

a sweet summer pattern

“I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of seeing gingham, it’s a fabric that’s both fancy and casual at the same time. The light gingham colors are perfect for spring and the bolder tones are great to use year-round. The gingham pattern is classic Americana style that’s so cheerful in weddings and events, perfect for outdoor!”

Whether you are saying your vows on the fourth or just proud to be an American,  you don’t need the stars and stripes to be patriotic! Flowers below in shades of red, white, AND/OR blue are festive yet not over-the-top! Choose one, two, or go for all three colors!

Don’t get me wrong, I love a traditional photo booth but recently I have seen so many fun and creative booths that I couldn’t resist sharing! What better way to remember all people you love from your wedding day.
