YOUR STORIES

AN AFTERNOON OF CLASSIC ROMANCE AT THE DALLAS ARBORETUM

filed in:

Jenny and Matthew wed on their 7th anniversary in the summer of 2025. It was the kind of afternoon that felt calm and serene, the air filled with tenderness.

The day started with the private reveal between Jenny and Matthew. They met down in the poetry garden, birds chirping and sunshine filling the space so beautifully. We transitioned into couples photos followed by the most gorgeous ceremony along the water’s edge. The Arboretum is so lush this time of year, so all the greens coupled with Jenny’s monochromatic vision of whites and creams was striking.

The afternoon closed with a Jenny and Matthew cruising off together in a vintage getaway car! We did some photos with friends and family, and were headed over to part two for their reception.

I spend a lot of my time reminiscing on the best memories, ready to create more. My hope is that my work creates that sense of nostalgia for you. The kind of feeling you wanna relive over and over again- front of the fridge, living room wall worthy.

I love madly in details. 

I love the smell of vanilla candles and the air when it’s crisp just before a fall rainstorm. I love the way that the sky turns all sorts of orange and pink when the sun’s going down. I’ll spend an hour at the store just to make sure I find you the perfect birthday card, and then I’ll probably end up buying two anyways. I’m fascinated by how the waves in the ocean are never ending and if you were to ask what inspires me, I’d say storytelling in all of its many different art forms.

Inspired by sunsets, nostalgia, the stories that make up antique stores, and most of all 

you.
