[ceremony] The Founder’s Chapel @ White’s Chapel United Methodist Church, Southlake

[reception] La Cima Club, Las Colinas

This was such a unique wedding for me. I rarely get less than 4 bridesmaids & groomsmen. (Ok, normally I get like 80) Lauren and Tyler had chosen one a piece as well as picking this lovely, historic chapel in Southlake.

The Founder’s Chapel is beautiful, with natural light spilling in from every direction – requiring me to position my crew in three stationary places in a triangular formation (left, right & back of the chapel). As the sun moved and hid behind the clouds, at least one of us had an awesome shot with the light catching Lauren’s veil. Ok, enough mushy stuff.

We did the group formals in front of The Mustangs in Las Colinas. During engagement pictures, it took very little prodding to get Tyler to jump over Lauren’s head. On the wedding day, the same was true. I think Lauren thought I was crazy for a moment, but she happily conceded. And what’s jumping over a bride if you can’t jump over the maid of honor too? Ya, we did that.

At the reception, the speeches were some of the best that I have heard. I even momentarily lost a crew member because she was so intently listening to Lauren’s father speak that she forgot to take  a picture! Now, that’s a good speech!
