Spring had quite literally just begun in Texas. The temperature was perfect – not too hot, and not too cold. Just a few cottony clouds draped across the canvas of the blue sky, and the sun shone a veil of light that illuminated the neighboring lake. This was the perfect backdrop for Nick and Katy’s Dallas Arboretum wedding, and I could not have been more honored to photograph such a beautiful day!
Ever since moving back to Dallas, I’ve been patiently waiting to photograph a wedding at the Dallas Arboretum. When Katy reached out in January to see if I had her date available, I jumped at the chance! After meeting her for breakfast to discuss her big day, I knew that the venue was just the icing on the cake. The real treat was getting to work with such a wonderful bride and her groom-to-be (now HUSBAND)! Katy is sincerely one of the most organized people I’ve ever met, and her knows exactly what she wants! I loved hearing her share all about her big day and then seeing it all come together!
Katy and Nick could not have chosen a better time of year for a Dallas Arboretum wedding! What perfect timing to see the tulips blooming in full force! The colors were absolutely magnificent! Guests were oo-ing and ahh-ing as they walked in from the Dallas Arboretum’s main entrance and toward the ceremony, which took place beneath a canopy of trees at the Crepe Myrtle Allee. From the natural blooms and greenery in the gardens to the romantic pathways and lakeside views, everything looked straight out of a dream. But of course the best part was witnessing the more intangible moments, such as the laughter shared amongst Katy and her bridesmaids and the ribbing between Nick and his groomsmen (guys, I tell ya!). I mean it when I say that Nick and Katy’s Dallas Arboretum wedding was perfection – and I was reminded over and over again why I absolutely love what I do. Congratulations, you two!
