Happy Friday, readers! I hope you’re all geared up for a great weekend.
I’m finishing out our week here by blogging Part 2 of Chris & Katrina’s Grand Prairie wedding.
Enjoy!
While I was hanging out with the girls getting ready, Mack got some really fun detail shots. Note to future brides… we can only do this if you give us TIME! If you’re excited about your details, it’s definitely in your favor to schedule time for at least one (or better… BOTH) of us to capture images of the “little things”. You won’t regret it!
This cake was so fun. It’s topsy-turvy design made it necessary to do the cake cutting reeeeeally quickly, but we got some beautiful pictures of it before it was thoroughly enjoyed by C&K’s guests.
Chocolate covered strawberries are one of my favorite foods. Heck, I’ll give chocolate-covered things their own full food GROUP. Raisins, coffee beans, pretzels, caramels… pretty much, if you dip it in chocolate, I’m going to love it. (Write that down on your Christmas list. You KNOW you’re all sending me Christmas gifts, right?
)
The ballroom at the Ruthe Jackson Center… Love the way the room changed with the uplighting!
First dance:
Have I mentioned that I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME that I hear the song, “I Loved Her First”? Always. Unfailingly.
In the fading light, we took Chris & Katrina outside for a few more portraits. Ooooh, romance!
I love a bride who enjoys dancing at her party!
And finally, the getaway!
Thank you so much, Mr. & Mrs. Hays, for sharing your special day with us. We so enjoyed getting to spend time with you!
Blogstalkers, next week should be pretty full of good stuff to see, so don’t be a stranger.![]()
