Destination Wedding at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, Texas

Rehearsal / Rehearsal Dinner

The Holy Trinity Catholic Church is absolutely beautiful. When doing rehearsal and rehearsal dinner photography it is very important to realize you are setting the stage for the next day. Margaux and I always instill a rapport with all the friends and family attending because we know these are the people they hold dearest. We create a flow of positive energy with the guests and it becomes a chain reaction. It’s a more relaxed atmosphere so everyone tends to let their guard down, allowing us to interact with the camera, creating a comfort factor for the big event the next day. For their Rehearsal Dinner they chose Maggianos restaurant, another hand picked jewel…

The Day of the Wedding (Preparation, Ceremony and Reception)

We arrived at the church and begin checking everything out ….rooms, lighting, flowers, candles, etc. Both Elisa and Nathan arrive and go to their preparation areas. In between photographing the groomsmen and bridesmaids we like to capture details and document the overall arrival to tell the entire story of preparation. A beautiful ceremony follows, things go like clockwork and after the formals we always whisk the Bride and Groom away for some creative ideas of them together at a couple places that we scouted out earlier. Many emotions as well as plenty of fun follow at the Adolphus Hotel. Elisa and Nathan enjoy our style of off the cuff flattering photography, better known by us as our fashion photo-journalism style. Everyone wants to look their best but you don’t need to slow down the flow of the evening to do so. All of the expressions, emotions, personality, character, interaction and the flavor of the evening will be awaiting them on their return from Jamaica. Enjoy…

Bridal Portrait Photography at the Adolphus Hotel Dallas, Tx.

We all met at the Adolphus Hotel, her reception venue, for the Bridal Portrait Photography. This historical 5 star hotel in downtown Dallas is a photographer’s dream with an array of interior appointments… rich wood tones, brass banisters and chandeliers. She had been to many of her friends’ bridal sessions as well as her sister’s so she was primed to say the least. As brides do on that day Elisa had a glow about her that resonated. The engagement photography session created a comfort factor with us. Margaux and I positioned ourselves in such a way so one of us would engage her while the other focused on her movements and body language, By completion we all knew we had just made history again…
