Some people just click. You can always tell when a couple was meant to be together, and that is definitely the case with Daniel and Lauren. I’ve known Daniel for years and I am so excited to have the opportunity to photograph and document their journey from engagement to marriage! In June we will be traveling to Cancun for a laid back wedding on the beach with a few close friends and family. Can’t wait!

A STROLL AROUND THE FORT WORTH STOCK YARDS AND SUNDANCE SQUARE

For the engagement session, we met first thing in the am on a somewhat chilly November morning. We went early because we knew the streets of the Fort Worth Stock Yards and Sundance Square would be empty. Our session started out walking down main street and taking over random alleys and rusted staircases. The chemistry between  these two love birds was intense and that’s the best part of taking engagement photos. The feeling and idea of getting married is at it’s freshest point, and you can see that excitement and joy every time the couple locks eyes.

We also hit up the White Elephant Saloon which turned out to be an awesome location. I love shooting at empty places that would otherwise be standing room only at night. There is also an exit behind the outdoor stage that leads to a beautiful courtyard with walk ways, trees, and a really cool tunnel. To end the session we headed north to Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth and walked through the streets some more. Oh and I almost forgot, we got to have lunch at my all time favorite restaurant in the world, El Rancho Grande! It’s just north or the stockyards before you drive into Fort Worth at the corner of Northside. I have been going there since I was a kid and they have the best Mexican food in the world! Don’t try and argue with me because you will fail!

Below is a video slide show of the session, followed by a few images. The video slide shows are something we specialize in, and I am willing to bet you have probably not seen anything else like it!
