Sparkle, elegance, LOVE, and beauty… Dan and Jessica’s wedding was all of that!   Everything took place at City Club of Fort Worth, where Amy Shackelford creates the wedding (and reception) you dream of!  Sandy created the elegant (yummy!) wedding cakes.  You can reach her at:  unqsc@aol.com.  Special thanks to the wonderful ladies at Contemporary Portraits for sharing their beautiful images.  The highlights include special messages of love, intertwined with romantic images of the day.  It’s all about the love!

Such grace and beauty in this wedding and reception!  We loved the winter details and amazing floral.  The Ritz-Carlton was absolutely elegant, and Natalie was a Princess Bride!  Their exit was the perfect finish, in a rush of snowflakes!

We were honored to receive a Gold Award from the DFW Professional Videographer’s Association in 2009 for our Valentine’s Day Wedding Highlights video!  This is the 7th Gold award we’ve received from the DFWPVA, among many others (locally and nationally) through the years. I am also proud to be featured in the debut issue of the new DFWPVA magazine!

Antoinette is celebrating her 50th birthday in a unique and special way.  She’s hosting a party to honor everyone she loves, and those who have made a positive impact on her life.  I like that idea!  What an uplifting way to celebrate half a century!!  This video highlights special moments and people in Antoinette’s life.

Melissa’s uncle officiated her wedding, and he joked at the rehearsal that the weather was so perfect, they should just go ahead and say their vows.  The next day, as the clouds gave way to showers, everyone took the Marine approach and within minutes the wedding was accomplished in the beautiful reception tent.  What really mattered was that Drew was home safely from Iraq, and the wedding he and Melissa longed for finally came true!   It was a real celebration for everyone at Wildwood Ranch, with lots of dancing late into the night.  Their Highlights song, “Lucky”, is a true reflection of their feelings.

Angel and Roman met as children, and 25 years later their friendship and love led to marriage. It was a beautiful ceremony at the historic Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, followed by the reception at the newly renovated Sheraton Dallas, in the arts and financial district. The Sheraton offers amazing views of downtown Dallas and modern decor. This was truly a day of fulfillment and love! Congratulations Angel and Roman!
