Jennifer & Steven had an incredible wedding at Ashton Gardens in Dallas this past weekend. The wedding was a blast. The Mug Machine was in full force and they had a Rock the Frock day after session on Monday.
(Translation: Lots of images in the next few days.)
Ready… Set… Go!
I walked into the house where Jennifer was getting ready and found her grandfather getting his combover done by the stylist. Best. First Image. Ever.?


Jennifer had all of these done by an artist she found on Etsy, visit her full site here.

Steven is sneaker head so he actually fly to New York and had these custom made for his wedding. (The day they met & they day the were married.)
First Look time!






This was one of my favorite moments from the day. We were grouping people for family photos and Steven’s niece ran up to get in a shot. it was not their turn yet and someone said. ”No, not you, go back.” She was crushed. She was crying and tearing up as she headed back to her mom. Jennifer saw this and walked out of the photo area and over to comfort her. 9.5 out of 10 brides would have just let others handle it, but she wanted to make sure her new niece was OK and assure her she was loved. It totally made my day. In fact…. it earned her a free 16×20 of any wedding image she wants. That’s right Jennifer. I’ll hook you up. You’re that awesome!

Great great cakes were done by Fancy Cakes by Lauren.

Rather than have their guest sign in, they finger printed people. This made for both a super cool piece of art and official documentation of who really was at the wedding.

After the ceremony much dancing occurred.
Lauren & Brent. (You may have seen them before. here.)

I snagged this shot of Vanessa & Brent McKellar doing their video thing that they do so well. I LOVE working with those two.

Stay tuned later this week for Mug Machine and Rock the Frock goodness.
