It Was An Honor To Capture Maggie And Jeff’s Wedding Day In The Heart Of Downtown Dallas. They Had The Perfect Venues, With The Wedding Ceremony At The Dallas Cathedral Of Guadalupe And The Wedding Reception At The Artisan Dallas. This Wedding Had Everything, Stunning Venues, Meaningful Traditions, And A Couple Whose Love Lit Up Every Room (and Rooftop).our Day Began At The hall Arts Hotel, Where Maggie And Jeff Prepared For Their Big Day In Separate Suites. Maggie Was Surrounded By Her Mom, Sisters, And Niece—a True Family Affair, Buzzing With Excitement And Blasting Taylor Swift. I Captured The Meaningful Details She Had Chosen, Including Her Colorful Floral Shoes And A Dazzling Crystal-covered Purse, Each Item Telling A Bit Of Her Story.meanwhile, Jeff Had A More Solitary Start In Another Room, Slipping Into An Elegant White Jacket Tuxedo With A Black Bow Tie. Their First Look Was Magical, Set Against The Grand Staircase Of The Hotel’s Lobby, The Perfect Backdrop For This Special Moment Before They Said, “i Do.”before Heading To The Ceremony, We Took Advantage Of The Stunning Surroundings Of The Dallas Arts District. Despite The Heat, We Snagged Some Romantic Shots In Front Of The Striking wyly Theatre. After We Cooled Off From The Heat, We Headed To The Wedding Ceremony Location.the Ceremony Took Place At The Majestic dallas Cathedral Of Guadalupe, Just Around The Corner From The Hotel. Maggie And Jeff Exchanged Their Vows In A Traditional Catholic Setting, Surrounded By Family And Friends. Afterwards, They Stepped Out As Newlyweds, The Celebration Took A Fun Turn With A Second-line Band Leading The Way To The Artisan Rooftop. This New Orleans Tradition Not Only Transported Everyone To The Reception In Style But Stopped Traffic With The Streets Being Shut Down. Everyone On The Sidewalks Witnessing This Was So Happy To See This Unique Moment, Getting Their Phones Out To Capture It.my Favorite Part Was The Walk To The Rooftop. Maggie And Jeff, Under Their Elegant Parasols, Led Their Loved Ones Through Closed Streets, Dancing To The Beats Of The Band. The Energy Was So High During The Second Line That This Personal Touch Was The Perfect Cherry On Top To Celebrate Maggie And Jeff’s Wedding Day.the Wedding Reception Was Held On The Rooftop When We Arrived At The Artisan. Petaled Design Had Set Up Colorful Bud Vases And Colored Candle Tapers Along The Tables. This Helped To Create A Fun And Romantic Setting For The Evening. After Some Tasty Appetizers And Drinks, Everyone Gathered For The Couple’s First Dance, The Perfect Way To Kick Off The Night’s Festivities.while Speeches From Their Loved Ones Brought All The Smiles, The Dinner Set The Stage For An Unforgettable Dance Party. Despite The Day’s Heat, The Energy Never Dropped. Maggie Even Slipped Into A Shorter Dress To Dance The Night Away. And Just When You Thought It Couldn’t Get Any Cooler, They Brought Out Dairy Queen Blizzards! This Was A Sweet Treat To Help Guests Beat The Heat! As The Night Drew To A Close, The Dance Floor Was Still Full And The Love Could Be Felt. Maggie And Jeff’s Grand Exit Was As Stunning As Their Entrance, A Perfect End To A Perfect Day.capturing Maggie And Jeff’s Wedding Was Not Just About Photographing The Traditional Wedding Moments. Being Able To Witness The Blend Of Traditions, And Their Love For One Another Was So Special To Me. Their Day Was A Reminder Of Why I Love What I Do. Here’s To Many More Years Of Happiness For This Beautiful Couple—cheers To Love, Laughter, And Dancing Under The Stars!the Artisan Dallas Was The Perfect Venue For This Wedding.

Are You Planning Your Wedding And Wondering If You Need A Second Photographer?this Is One Of The Biggest Questions Asked When A Couple Is Choosing Their Package. This May Be An Unpopular Opinion, But Usually, I’m Going To Say No, It Isn’t Necessary, But It Can Be An Excellent Addition!i Have Shot Multiple Weddings, And It’s Nice To Have A Second Shooter, But I Am More Than Comfortable Working On My Own And Have Only Found It Necessary A Handful Of Times!of Course, There Are A Few Circumstances Where I Will Tell You, Yes, You Need A Second Photographer, But Most Of The Time, It’s Just A Nice Add-on!let’s Start With When I Think Adding A Second Photographer Is Necessary:you And Your Fiance Are Getting Ready At Two Separate Locations.if The Two Of You Are Not Getting Ready At The Same Location, Usually One Is At The Venue And The Other At A Hotel, Airbnb, Or Home. In This Situation, I Highly Recommend A Second Photographer Who Can Hang Out With The Guys While I Work With The Bride And Her Girls!when You Have A Larger Wedding With A Higher Guest Count 120+you Have Planned This Big Beautiful Wedding, Invited All Your Family And Friends, And The Guest Count Is Above 120, You Will Want To Consider A Second Photographer. You Have Meticulously Planned Events And Want Every Moment, Big And Small, Captured. This Is A Time When I Would Also Highly Recommend A Second Photographer!let’s Jump Into When It’s Nice To Have A Second Photographer, But It Isn’t Necessary…more Coveragedisclaimer: It’s Important To Note That More Coverage Doesn’t Necessarily Mean More Images. Your Wedding Will Pass In The Blink Of An Eye!i Cannot Stress This Enough. This Is A Day You Spend Months And Months Planning, Then You Blink, And It’s Gone.instead Of Quantity, Think Quality. Imagine All The Different Moments And Memories Two Photographers Can Capture. Especially If You Have A Long Day And/or A Tight Timeline And Multiple Things Are Happening Simultaneously!some Events Are Planned And Should Be Photographed. Toasts, Cake Cutting, And First Dances. But What About Those Unplanned Moments? Mom Is Crying As You Dance With Your Dad. You Looking On At Your New Husband As He Dances With His Mom. You Have Toasts, And Your Husband Reaches Under The Table For Your Hand, Giving It A Little Squeeze.those Are Moments You Don’t Want To Miss, So In This Case, I’ll Say Two Photographers Are Better Than One When It Comes To Coverage!different Perspectives/anglesweddings, Like Movies, Are Best Shot With More Than One Camera And From Different Angles. This Allows The Photographer To Capture All Those In-between Moments And Emotions! Which, In Turn, Lets The Viewer In On The Whole Story!time Constraintsa Second Photographer Allows For Flexibility In The Timeline, Which Allows For A Less Hectic Shooting Schedule. The Second Photographer Can Gather All The Family For The Formal Photos And Get Everyone Lined Up So That They Run Smoothly! I Also Like To Get My Second Photographer To Knock Out Groomsmen’s Photos After The Guys Get Ready. This Saves Time Later On! One Photographer May Head To The Reception After The Ceremony To Start On Detailed Coverage. The Other Photographer May Stay At The Ceremony To Finish Formal Family Photos! With Good Timeline Planning, This Could Be Done With One Photographer, But If You Are Short On Time And Ready To Get To Partying, A Second Photographer Does Come In Handy!something To Consider When Deciding If You Need A Second Photographera Second Photographer May Not Be Ideal If You Have A Smaller Wedding. Two Photographers Working At Intimate Weddings Or Smaller Venues May Lead To A Photography Team Being On Top Of Each Other. You Likely Won’t Need Two Photographers If You Have A Smaller Guest Count (up To 75 Guests). This Can Lead To Many Repetitive Shots And Not Enough Workspace!whether You Decide On One Or Two Photographers, I Will Capture A Complete Intricate Storyline Of Your Wedding Day. Not Having A Second Photographer Doesn’t Mean You Have To Sacrifice The Quality. If You’re Still Unsure About It, Let Me Know. We’ll Discuss It!
