Keri & Patrick were married in a lovely little brunch ceremony last Sunday in downtown Dallas. Although the summer heat came out full force before the end of the day, a cloud and a gentle breeze made their First Sight an absolutely lovely experience. The rest of the day followed suit, as this sweet couple floated easily through the day they’d been planning for so long. An intimate group of friends and family surrounded them for good food, good music, and lots of love.
Truly, Keri & Patrick have a Sunday kind of love. We were so happy to be there celebrating with them!
Our morning started early early early with Keri getting ready, but with a dress this beautiful hanging on the balcony of a gorgeous room at the Rosewood Crescent in Dallas, well, I guess I can handle waking up early.;) A special thank you goes out to Shelley with Escada Weddings for her flawless execution of this unique event!
I loved Keri’s coral nails! Perfect pop of color.
Maple Manor is such a quaint little place nestled among the Dallas high rises…
Officiant Arianna Gray performed a really touching ceremony, including a hand-fasting ritual…
Mr. & Mrs. Thomas!
The couple’s reception started with a low-key brunch in the dining room at Maple Manor. I loved the way the space was transformed with all the bright flowers!
This dessert bar was absolutely as yummy as it was beautiful, which is saying a lot. Look at all that color!
Congratulations, Keri & Patrick! Your wedding was so fun, and so YOU, and we had a blast being there with you.

Being typical Liesa, I love the b&w of her in front of the window while getting ready.
Keri - I swear that I commented on this, but the internet isn’t that great in Mexico so I guess it never went through! Thanks for these Chelsea and Erik!! They are amazing (as usual)!
Can’t wait for the CD!!!
Colette - Love them! You guys are amazing. Definitely loved the one you caught of the dance party with the hair whip, Patrick’s face is priceless. The b&w shot in their first look of them holding each other and my laughter moment during my toast! Can’t wait to see the rest.
Mike - Ok, not gonna lie. I had to do a double take. I thought I saw Lauren Graham. What a pretty bride! This is such a cute & wonderfully unique Dallas wedding! Love that y’all could put your stamp of awesomeness on it.
First Sight Contest — our Favorite Entries! » McGowan Images Blog - [...] Keri & Patrick’s morning wedding was planned to be just like them. They wanted the day to reflect who they are from start to finish. But with a house full of people, sometimes it’s hard to keep the focus where it belongs. Patrick said the First Sight helped him do that: Ours was a morning wedding, and aside from the waking up early, it was a great decision.
