We arrived in the parking lot of the church at the same time as Ryan and his groomsmen and we are all quickly introduced to an SUV full of smiling faces.  The day started and ended the same way : laid back, fun and jovial – and there’s nothing more exhilarating than seeing everyone just truly enjoy the wedding day.

As we always do, we stole the bride’s accessories and traipsed through the church with them finding the perfect spot to photograph them. While placed the dress against the back wall and lit it for some drama, we photographed the other accessories in the soft natural light that streamed through the front doors.


Laura and Ryan opted not to do a first look, but they did spend a few minutes talking to one another before the ceremony. They also gave me almost two hours for formal portraits before the reception so we were able to get plenty of gorgeous wedding party images at the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, which you will see in Thursday’s post.
A few more shots of the beautiful bouquet to leave you feeling soft and sexy.
