Abi & Matt are, so far, one of our favorite 2010 couples. They were so sweet and laid back in regards to their big day, and we were super stoked to get to work with them again!
We were able to get some great images during the main event (which you can see here and here), but the couple wanted to make time to get together away from the hustle and bustle of the wedding day and get some more artistic portraits. I love this idea… mostly, I love anything that prioritizes loved-up portraits of a bride&groom. It’s such a special time in your life… definitely worth capturing!
We met up with Abi & Matt in the cultural district of Fort Worth last Sunday evening. It was h-o-t! But despite that dripping Texas summer heat, we were able to rock it out and get some romantic images of this sweet couple. Here are my favorites!
This giant sculpture is outside at one of my favorite places… the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. I’ve been in love with the art galleries there for years now, and whenever I can, I make time to go see their latest collections. (Note to future brides, it’s also an incredible event venue.)
Mack took the following shot of Abi inside the sculpture looking out, and I love the shadows.
We made it a special priority to get a few portraits of just Abi, since she’d scheduled a bridal session with us before her wedding that didn’t end up happening due to illness. She certainly was/is a gorgeous bride!
The next image hasn’t had any photoshop lovin’… just RAW color correction and a slight crop. I really loved both the original image AND the b&w treatment… so I blogged both! (That actually happens twice in this post… guess I was indecisive today!)
Now, brace yourselves… I’m going to get a bit effusive. I know, I know — big surprise. 
This last series of images makes Mack and I SUPER happy. It turned out to be everything we wanted it to be. We used a chair that belonged to my great-grandmother, and a perfect natural tree-created spotlight for lighting, and what we got was classic and romantic and a little off-beat at the same time. These are pictures I can see Abi & Matt showing their great-grandchildren. Timeless.
Mack’s shot… moody, huh?
Thanks for coming out to play with us, dears! We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed your experiences with us, because we’ve enjoyed you just as much. Blessings on your new life together!
Blogstalkers: Tomorrow, I’m announcing the handful of portrait dates we have left for 2010. By “handful”, I mean “less than 10″. I don’t expect them to last long once the dates are made public. So if you want to get something on the books, calling today wouldn’t be a terrible idea.
