Weddings, weddings, and more weddings

Last Saturday was a very busy Wedding weekend for Heather and me.

Heather photographed Jenny McMillen & Tom Sweeny's wedding and reception at the Ashton Depot in downtown Ft. Worth. This is a very beautiful building, inside and out, and made for a wonderful setting for their event.

My Saturday started out by photographing Shelley Swofford and Spencer Plumlee's wedding at Southcliff Baptist Church in south Ft. Worth. Not only was this a cute couple to work with, but the church was absolutely georgeous! My daughter-in-law, Amanda, provided the photographic services for the reception at the Southwestern Baptist Theological Center not far from the church, while I travelled to Las Colinas to photograph another wedding (more on that below).

Normally, I, myself, would not do two weddings in one day, however, when Shelley called me about 6 weeks ago and explained she had "lost" her wedding photographer, I just had to do whatever necessary to help her out. And I'm glad we did! In addition to the newlyweds, their families were simply great.

The second wedding I did last Saturday was for Anika Lounds and Anthony Cox (from New York). Anika's family lives in the DFW area, so they chose the La Cima Club in Las Colinas for their wedding and reception.

Luckily, the rain held off for this outdoor wedding by the canals. It was not only beautiful, but also very emotional in many respects. Their reception included a plated, sit-down dinner and lots of dancing. A great time was had by all.

My body has recovered since last weekend's marathon and I'm ready for this weekend's wedding of Kristin Eustace and Matthew Grammer. Stay tuned for updates.
