Dallas Arboretum Engagement || Chris + Wendy

I was so delighted when I was commissioned to capture a surprise engagement at the Dallas arboretum. Chris picked out the perfect spot ahead of time and we coordinated the time and place. I felt like a spy on a secret mission. I was through the gates the moment they opened. I found my spot, let him know I was in place, and then just waited. As I waited I noticed that the area he had chosen were filled with a flower called “Wendy’s Wish”….how sweet! :-) I got the text they were headed my way, a few minutes later they passed right by me (thank goodness she had never met me before). He reached down to get a water bottle out of his bag, but pulled out a ring instead…and she said YES! I felt a little like a stalker at this point but it was so beautiful I didn’t care! After Wendy had a moment to let it sink in, we took some more pictures around the garden.


Thank you to all those who let me be a part of capturing this special day. I am sure you will treasure these memories forever.

Red Oak, Texas Wedding || Micah + Elizabeth

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

What a beautiful passage and is a great example of the love this couple shares. On a beautiful sunny day in Texas this precious couple said “I Do” in a traditional ceremony surrounded by family and friends. The sanctuary was decorated and lit to mimic twilight. It was a beautiful and meaningful ceremony that echoed the love of the bride and groom.

A little background on the Bride and Groom
A mutual friend introduced Micah and Elizabeth to each other. After hanging out with each other as friends, they soon realized they had a lot in common and their friendship blossomed into a courtship. Don’t all the best love stories start out as friendship! 

Thank you Micah and Elizabeth for letting me capture your day. Every detail and moment reflected you both so beautifully. I hope you enjoy this preview.
