When it comes to planning weddings, nowadays there are no boundaries as to what you should and shouldn’t do as you begin dreaming of your big day. There’s just one cardinal rule of which I like to remind my couples: make it completely, undoubtedly, and 100% obviously ABOUT YOU!

Kayla and Ryan are one of my absolute favorite couples in the world, and by golly, that is exactly what they did. From the very beginning, the bride envisioned a wedding with vibrant jewel tone colors, a whimsical feel, fun vibes, and a nod to some of their favorite and wonderfully nerdy passions. This included Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and even their adorable fur baby Leia! Kayla and Ryan wanted it all, and planner Linda Lyons made it happen with all of the elegance and class any Dallas wedding could hope for.

This day was incredibly special and hit me in the feels on more than one occasion. I’ve grown particularly close to Kayla over the past year and even got to spend some of the reception dancing! When couples become friends, it really brings a whole new meaning to my job as a wedding photographer.

I am so privileged to have photographed this Winter Wedding at Hickory Street Annex in Dallas and count myself lucky to know these two. Thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer, Kayla and Ryan!
