As the days get shorter photographers often feel like we are chasing the sun, begging at times, for more usable light during fall and winter weddings. Luckily for us, Blakely and Kevin had expressed an interest in a wedding day “first look” so we knew there would be plenty of great light for us to play with before their evening ceremony. In order to execute the “first look” we added 2 hours to their wedding day coverage and performed an entire portrait session in multiple locations. This is a fantastic idea for the fall and winter bride who is ok seeing her groom before walking down the aisle!

We had a blast with Blakey and Kevin! We started the “first look” at the Reata’s roof-top looking over Sundance Square. We then explored downtown Fort Worth, stopping where ever we saw the best light in alley ways, the middle of the street, along great exposed brick walls and even in front of Haltom’s Jewelers, where Kevin purchased Blakley’s engagement ring. We raced over to the Marty Leonard Chapel (again chasing the sun) to capture a few last minute shots before mother nature closed the curtain.

Blakley and Kevin had a beautiful ceremony at the Marty Leonard Chapel and a fantastic dinner reception in the private room at Times Ten Cellar. We couldn’t get enough of Blakley and Kevin and we were even able to get great shots in the Times Ten Cellars barrel room!
