Meredith and Chris had a beautiful wedding at the T & P Train Station right off downtown Fort Worth! This is the first event I’ve photographed there and it was beautiful. With all of the giant windows I can only imagine how beautiful it is in the daylight. I met with with the wedding party just down the street from T & P at the Omni, before the ceremony. Meredith made a stunning bride! A few favorites from their wedding..

I’ve been looking forward to this wedding since Kristen booked me a year ago. I knew from the start that this was going to be an amazing wedding and it definitely proved to be true. Kristen and Frank are awesome. They are such an amazing couple with so much personality and so much love. I’ve been so excited to post this wedding. Cannot wait to work with them again in the future. Kristen and Frank, thank you guys for being so amazing and including me in your wedding day. :)

  • Joshua: This wedding had some of the coolest details I have ever seen at a wedding. It was very creative and a great location. As ALWAYS, the pictures look ridiculously amazing. Congratulations to the happy couple on a successful, fun wedding and on picking the best photographer on earth. Kristen looks stunning. This post just reminded me how ridiculously delicous that freaking jam was, oh my gosh, Bonny Jo was right that we should have stole all the jam that people left on the tables. Also, I love the obligatory shot of Bonny Jo and I. I hope the next person I know to get married hires you as well. Great job as always, Tara. (23.11.11, 01:26PM)

  • Stefanie Ann: I just LOVE those huge signs in the front that tell the bridal party and program. Where did Kristen get that made? (05.12.11, 07:56AM)
  • Kristen: Hi Stefanie Ann, Bride here :) My grandad actually had the frames at his antique store. I painted them and turned them into chalk boards. My uncle helped me out with all the lettering paint and chalk work. So they are truly one of a kind :) (14.12.11, 09:20AM)

Chelsea and Jason were married in a beautiful backyard ceremony a few weeks ago at Jason’s parent’s home. Things have been so crazy the last couple of months that I wasn’t able to meet Chelsea until the day of the ceremony. She and Jason are such a sweet couple and have equally awesome families. I loved getting to meet and spend the day with them. A few favorites from their wedding day..

  • Chelsea: These are beautiful! I never really understood how important pictures were to a wedding until I saw these. I'm fighting back tears! I'm so happy you did our pictures and captured these little moments that now I can have forever. Thank you. You're the best! :) (19.11.11, 08:22PM)
