Beth was one of my former mentors at my old college newspaper, The Shorthorn, who helped shape me into who I am today, so when I was approached about photographing her and Michael's wedding, I know I'm in for a grand time. We agreed to meet up at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens for their engagements, where it was Beth's first visit, and Michael's in the last ten years. We strolled throughout the gardens, and basked in the unpredictably nice Texas weather.
I had them stop at the seating area on the Texas Boardwalk. I understand most guys don't run their hands through their significant other's hair in this position, so I told Michael to pretend like it was petting one of their dogs to evoke some laughs:

We can't forget a detail of the symbolic commitment!:
Across a pond was a bench that had a nice open area around it, and I took this shot:
We found a tree carved with hearts into it, and I wanted to get a photo of them next to it:
Michael, the gentleman he is, helped Beth cross from one end to the other in the Rock Spring Woods section of the gardens:
There was a nice tree in the woods, so I filled them frame with just the three of them here:
After I made this shot at the top of the Trial Garden, Michael said how he's now a pro at forehead-kissing, which made me smile:
Lastly, the journalists they are, they brought along a copy of the Star-Telegram to use as a prop:
Thank you Beth and Michael! I'm glad we got to photograph together at the gardens, and I will see y'all soon enough at the YWCA in Fort Worth!
