Alta Moda Photography »

I photographed Kathryn in downtown McKinney this weekend. We were luckly enough to get to use the lobby and the owner’s suite at the Grand Hotel and we had a fantastic time.  Can’t wait for the wedding!

We have been so busy lately and I’ve got a ton of new stuff to share with you- weddings, portraits and even a ribbon cutting. But first, I have a quick preview from my bridal session today. I just finished downloading them a few minutes ago and haven’t even looked through all of them yet, but this is one that caught my eye. I’m so glad Courtni arranged to have her bridal session indoors since there was six inches of snow in my yard when I woke up this morning! A friend of the family let us use their fabulous home and I think we got some great images.

It’s no secret that I love shooting bridal portraits. I’d shoot bridal portraits everyday if I could. It’s escpecially fun with a bride like Lindsay! Lindsay has a great vintage vibe that we wanted to capture in her bridal portraits. Lindsay brought her dress and accessories that she planned to wear at the wedding (which included fantastic vintage jewelry) but she also brought along a few additional accessories just for the shoot. We had an amazing time at The Adolphus hotel in Dallas. And since she assures me that her finance Jude will not be peeking at the blog, I’m free to post a couple for you here without ruining the surprise.

Today I had the opportunity to shoot Kimberly’s bridal portrait. Her sisters Kristine and Kathryn, both Alta Moda brides, came along. It was a really fun shoot, although is was very chilly (Simon said I’m not allowed to use the words mind numbingly cold and windy… oh wait… doh!). I’m really blessed that I’ve been able to work with all three sisters. They are really a great family. I’m trying to get them all to come back out in their wedding dresses for a group shoot! Anyway, I’ve barely finished downloading the cards, but I thought I’d stick a couple up for a quick preview. Trying to get a jump start on my perpetual New Year’s resolution to blog more.

Lauren and Michael’s wedding was a very classy event. The whole thing had a great vintage elegance feel that I loved! The venue, The Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas, was the perfect setting for the event. One of my favorite things was the pie room stocked with pies from The Pantry in Lauren’s (and mine) hometown of McKinney. Simon and I had a great time at this wedding. I’ve also included a few of Lauren’s bridal portraits (also shot in McKinney) because we just had so much fun I had to share! Enjoy!
