Dallas Arboretum Engagement Photography

As Renaissance Photographics, we’ve traveled throughout the country for previous clients’ friends and relatives and Elisa was no exception. We were so excited to begin the engagement photography for Elisa and Nathan’s wedding, it would be like attending a family reunion. We had already photographed her sister’s as well as five of their friends’ destination weddings. Lots of their family and friends to look forward to seeing again. Elisa had found a true gentleman, Nathan treated her like a princess. Both fun hearted, their excitement and was reflected in our photography. Our engagement photography sessions have always been unique to each couple and this was no exception. Elisa was no longer on the sidelines watching us create artistic imagery, she and Nathan took center stage. Our relaxed approach makes it easy for couples to be themselves and receive the direction we give them. Amidst all of their energy was a very passionate side to both of them. We chose the Decoyer Estate, a 65 acre outdoor botanical setting on White Rock lake with a variety of luscious intimate backgrounds, making the photography session more of an adventure! A range of looks comes easily with our fashion photography backgrounds, always natural, not contrived or forced. Take a look…

Cayla & GiGi’s Fairy Tale Bridal Portrait

Cayla’s Bridal Portrait Photography Session is at Glen Erie Castle in Colorado Springs, expressed a very Cinderella like atmosphere. The castle reflects the chivalry of Medieval times, an added touch of romance. She brought her Yorkshire Terrier, GiGi, who tried to steal the show. We brought out Cayla’s playful personality which set the mood.

Our entourage included a stylist, a videographer, Margaux and myself. We captured so many different looks with her from coy to whimsical, to elegant and alluring, using our fashion photojournalistic style of photography along with classic poses.

There were so many backgrounds to work with, the castle, overhanging cliffs, gardens, trees and mountains in the distance…. it was magical. The Bridal Portrait Session is a Bride’s opportunity to get the most beautiful photography imaginable for herself when she is literally glowing in the excitement of this time in her life.

Margaux began a photo oil painting of one of Cayla’s images and is in the process of using some dramatic effects to accentuate the enchantment of her Bridal Portrait adventure.
