As soon as we were done with the First Glimpse, I had some amazing light (and time!) to take some images of Amanda & Joshua together. I was pretty giddy about how amazing the light was too so I did my ‘happy light dance’. (Must get that trademarked!)

The Crescent in the background and glorious sunlight lighting us! Yummy!

I glimpsed this one (that’s a word, right?!) while coming down the stairs with Amanda. LOVE.

These are images we shot after arriving at City Club in Dallas. I love this lighting on the second floor!

The City Club is inside the neon-green lined Bank of America building. It has this great red sculpture that I have been dying to shoot (but can’t unless I’m having an event there!). I received special permission from the coordinator (and security) so we ran around downtown Dallas during the reception. <insert another happy dance here>

After the wedding, Amanda went on to tell me how much she absolutely loved her run through downtown with Joshua. Words I love to hear!

We will conclude Amanda + Joshua’s amazing wedding experience with images of the reception and the Gnome (DUH!) coming on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
