It doesn’t take long after meeting Chris and Charla to know that they are perfect for each other. Saying that though, it’s rare to find such a couple. They are both equally HILARIOUS and gracious. Within five minute of hanging out with them you will experience laughing fits that are sure to draw tears. Chris and Charla know the meaning of the 3 Ls: Love, Laugh, and Live, and they have no problem sharing their knowledge with you.
We were honored to be selected to capture their exciting day at the wonderful Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, TX (working with Tristin is always a great time). Along with Rhonda Baker, Wedding/Special Event Coordinator, of Precisely as Planned. The beautiful and well-organized celebration was filled with Romance, Emotions, and sooo much FUN! Here are a few memories from that day. Enjoy! I know we did!
The fun started off the night before as we were invited to capture the rehearsal event.

The fun carried on to The Blue Goose Cantina of Addison. The food and drinks were sooo yummy!


I loved Charla’s dress and the view from her room.

Charla was a beautiful bride! Her veil naturally blowing in the wind gave way to many “uhhs and awwss”

The bouquet and floral decor was designed and created by the wonderful Tami Winn/Le Fleur Couture.







……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… sooo funny!



This was such a sweet Father / Daughter dance.


I’m not even sure if they stopped smiling, not even when there were tears falling.

I LOVE the way your Blog is layed out. Jay & I are having a terrible time with ours… if you have a chance and could check it out to make other suggestions on what we might be able to tweak., that would be fabulous… Like should we keep text at the header, or change it to a logo/ collage of other images that we have. Solid background in the back or an image of ours that would need to be uploaded in the background. Tabs to other info info at the top?? So much of this is completely confusing & unfortunately I thought I would never take html ever again after High school so I didn’t pay much attention to is. AAAHHHHH! IF you have any good sites that helped you though, I would love your suggestions! thanks lady!! amy
