Winter Dallas Arboretum Wedding

Happy Valentine’s Day! A couple of months ago I got the chance to shoot an Arboretum wedding with the amazing Laura of Loewen Images! She’s a photographer who used to shoot in the Chicago area but who is now living and working in Dallas! What made it even more special is that the groom is her husband’s twin! I loved working with Laura, and both the bride and groom’s families were sweet and great to talk to. I had a wonderful time working and getting to be a part of this wonderful family’s celebration. 
 
We started out the early afternoon at Blow Salon in East Dallas. The salon is perfect– vibrant and colorful.. plus, the stylists and other staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. 
 
 
 
The ceremony and reception were at the Dallas Arboretum
 
I’m in love with the succulents in the bride’s bouquet!
 
 

The bride and groom got ready in separate parts of the beautiful Arboretum house and were getting prepared for their big first look in the courtyard.

I love it when they get emotional during the first look! See the little flower girl peeking through the window?

Quick break for a BFF photo!

And a mother and son photo. :) The family was getting ready to take their places for going down the aisle.

One last portrait before the ceremony!

These flower girls were gorgeous and adorable! Am I right? Love the dresses!

And even with a first look, the bride still got emotional walking down the aisle with her dad :) So sweet.

 

I love stealing a glance at the family during a ceremony. You can tell how happy they are to be gaining a son and brother!

Love these shots with the Chihuly exhibit in the background. 
 
And ending the post with a sweet post-ceremony shot of the new bride and groom!
