Last weekend we had the pleasure to photograph Matt and Vanessa's wedding! The pair was blessed with a beautiful afternoon and evening for their outdoor wedding and reception. It's always hard to choose my favorite images after weddings, and Matt and Vanessa were no exception! What follows are some of my favorite images of their day.
When we arrived at the Prince Victorian Estate in Fort Worth, the girls were upstairs getting ready. Vanessa's dress hangs on the shuttered doors:
While the women donned makeup and dresses, the men enjoyed the spring day outside on the patio, and made some last minute adjustments to their outfits:
Inside, one of the flower girls waits on the steps:
With the help of a few bridesmaids, Vanessa put her dress on, then came out into the bedroom for the rest of the girls to see:
A bridesmaid laughs as Vanessa admires herself in the bureau mirror:
Finally it was go time! This photo of Vanessa exiting the house to go meet her future husband under the gazebo is one of my favorites:
Once outside, the two meet at the altar, and Matt gives Vanessa an adoring look:
Before long, it was time for the rings! Here Vanessa places Matt's wedding band on his finger:
After the ceremony, the bridesmaids combined their bouquets with Vanessa's to compare the lovely flowers. Vanessa and Matt chose this light blue as their color, and it can be seen all throughout their wedding and reception:
The bridal party makes their way to take some pictures on the estate grounds:
The bridal party:
Matt and his groomsmen were very proud of their awesome socks. Matt's said "groom," and the others said "groomsman."
After some photos, the party made their way to the reception tent:
Here is their grand entrance as Mr. and Mrs. Patchen!:
As mentioned above, Vanessa and Matt had several blue details for their day. Here is a montage of some of those details:
The happy couple cuts their cake as the DJ's lights flash on the tent ceiling:
Outdoor photography is always fun because the weather can surprise you and always gives you something new to work with. On this evening, the sky was beautiful and clear after the sun went down. Here you can see a few stars twinkling above the tent:
The couple clinks their glasses after touching toasts by the best man and maid of honor:
After some dancing, the DJ announced that it was time for the bouquet toss. Many women quickly came onto the dance floor to try their luck, and Vanessa let the flowers fly:
As the night begins to close, Vanessa busts a move on the dance floor:
Finally it was time to bid the couple goodbye. They ran out into their getaway car, a decorated truck, and smiled for one last photo before heading out for the night:
We had a wonderful time celebrating Matt and Vanessa's wedding, and wish them a happy life together!
