Mansfield Family Portraits - The Borthacyre Family

A few weeks ago I photographed some engagements portraits for Beth and Clark. They liked their engagements so much they decided to book me again to take some family portraits for them with her parents. We met at a park in Mansfield, they brought their cute little dog and we had some fun.

A nice little moment between mom and dad.

Here's Lexi and the whole family.

 A little homage to Elliott Erwitt.

Here's the Elliott Erwitt original. I have his Dogs book in my classroom and this photo is on the back cover so I see it every day. I love this picture.

This one just makes me happy.

Richard and Trish are Married!

Last Saturday I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Richard and Trish. What a wonderful couple. I'll tell you the truth, it's a little nerve-wracking to shoot the wedding of another photographer, but they were so fun and easy work with I just did my thing and made some beautiful images. Here's a little sneak peek of the sweet, funny, and amazing moments from their wedding day. Thanks to my super assistant Amanda and the staff at the YWCA in Fort Worth who made my job a breeze.

So they had these "little people" that they photographed for their save the date so I had them bring them to the wedding to shoot with their rings. I had to make them look at each other :)

Her dress, shoes and purse.

Her bouquet and the cool cake topper that Richard hand-painted.

While he's dancing his way down the aisle...

...she's waiting at the top of the stairs.

Trish comes down the stairs into the ceremony.

The moment he sees her.

The kiss.

Richard pulled out a camera and took a photo of the new husband and wife and their officiant immediately after she pronounced them husband and wife. Like I said. Super fun couple!

Pure joy on their faces.

The had a centerpiece on a table with their names on leaves so I just had to put their rings there hanging with the leaves.

They had chocolate martinis and each guest got a Piece of Peace as a favor. They were ceramic necklaces with the word peace written in all different languages on the back. Now that's a nice idea...give your wedding guests peace.

Their cake was in front of a mirror...so pretty. And tasty too! Sublime Bakery makes a wonderful cake.

Look how happy she is. I love this moment during the first dance.

I just love his arms totally wrap around her during the first dance. It's like she's wrapped in his love.

So after they cut the cake and fed each other a bite...Richard took off with the plate of cake and Trish was like...hey, where are you going with my cake?! I had to smile.

After the wedding we had a little fun taking photos around downtown Fort Worth.

Such a beautiful couple.

Congratulations Trish and Richard! Thanks for letting me be a small part of your special day. Love you both.

It's been a crazy busy weekend. :) I love it. A family portrait, two weddings and an NFL game! Here are the places that ran some of my Cowboys vs Bears photos immediately after the game.

First some photos of me from the game :) This one is from my friend Ian. I'm the photographer actually taking photos...not the one next to me just watching the game.

And my good friend RJ caught me in the background of his photo as I was shooting Tony Romo walking off the field from behind. Funny. I do look more like myself without the red vest though :)
