Date: May 23rd, 2009
Ceremony: Highland Park United Methodist Church, Dallas, TX
Reception: Arlington Hall at Lee Park, Dallas, TX
What a beautiful wedding in Dallas Texas!
Monica met David through the University of Texas Alumni Association, or Texas Exes’ Dallas chapter – so they’re definitely big Longhorns fans.
Hazel was there with me and she was great that day – the first two images are hers. Monica has a very beautiful face and neckline, particularly at certain angles and Hazel was able to show that in this getting ready pic. In case you’re wondering, it’s just a simple mirror reflection surrounded by lipsticks 🙂 This is the Pompeo salon near Hotel Palomar.
Monica’s brother, Jarod, came in and said to her, “You are beautiful….”
Sometimes you can’t tell how high you are in relations with the chair when the dress is over the chair – poof!
The green ribbon is from the roses that David gave to Monica on the day/night of their engagement/proposal – I took this image as she was explaining and showing it to her bridesmaids. This is the type of detail shots that I love – something that has a significant, personal meaning to the bride and groom and it looks great too!
Rona, Monica’s mom, after lighting of the unity candle – weddings are very emotional especially for the parents.
I love riding in the car with the couple after the ceremony on the way to the reception – they always feel alone and let the emotions flow.
Arlington Hall sits over a large park and she had croquet, a Maypole, and a horseshoe games on the back of the hall.
This is one of my favorite wedding images of the year – it’s just really different and something stoic and serious in the moment and how symmetrical it is.
I really like the difference between how single women reacts to the bouquet toss versus the guys…
“I am not touching it!!!”
Kissing dad…
Hazel shot the image below – that’s me on the left (and she’s stealing my flash), David’s dad Troy with the camera and David’s mom Karen looking on…
Congratulations Monica and David!
