Happy Thanksgiving from the JIP crew!

Here is Jonathan’s Family, its Emma’s first thanksgiving.

What a fun wedding!  I do not know if we have ever seen so many kiddos at a wedding as we did at this one but the bride did a remarkable job of having fun things for them to do the entire time.  Game with gum ball and coke bottle, dancing to fun music and so much more.  They even had drinks for the kids and a fun ‘late’ night snack.  Here are a few photos from this cute Old Red Museum Wedding coordinated by the wonderful Carolyn with Weddings by Carolyn.

A beautiful first look…

And for Alayna I had to throw “Purple Pickles” in there somewhere.  From what we know…This is a long running inside joke of theirs Hmmmmmm

Whenever we have a first look, we always have so much time to allow everyone to relax and have fun all the while grabbing amazing photos of the soon to be Mr & Mrs.

We absolutely LOVE Artspace 111.  It is a beautiful indoor/outdoor art gallery in downtown Fort Worth surrounded by train tracks, highway and woods.  What a combo really.  So as you can imagine we were pretty excited when Drew wanted us to photograph her wedding there.  We brought along the Jonathan Ivy Photo Booth and had a wonderful time.  Even one of JIP’s repeat guests was there for the occasion (another blog post to come on this later).  So kick back and relax while scrolling through this beautiful couple and the gorgeous art gallery wedding.

We love first looks!  Look at all the bridesmaids in the background.  So sweet!

I absolutely LOVE the colors here!  Just looking at this beautiful blend of bright colors bridesmaids dresses makes me smile.

One of the many perks of having a first look is that we have plenty of time to take amazing photos and to have some fun doing so!

We love when we get to bring along our Photo Booth!  It is always a huge hit as can be seen here.

Oh goodness, I do not even know where too start.  You know when you have too many exciting things to say all at once that they just seem to all jumble up in your head…this is where I am.  Gathering…Ok!  Bryan & Amelia are the most adorable couple EVER!  While talking to Bryan, all that you have to do is mention the wedding and his face lights up with a smile as it makes him think of Amelia. While talking to Amelia, just mention Bryan’s name to see her eyes sparkle.  The two were really built for each other.  We had such an amazing time with them on their engagement session.  Then we were able to meet up with Amelia and her mom along with her aunts to have some fun at Thistle Hill for her bridals.  Then lastly their grand celebration.  Here are just a few of the many beautiful photos of this wonderful couple!

These boxes where carried by the ring bearers down the aisle.  Cute huh?!

Yes, her custom hanger says Dr Tower!

So many of you might remember my rambling on and on about one of our favorite engagement sessions a couple weeks ago, well here is that same couple’s wedding and I have to say, this is definitely one of our favorite weddings.  This was such an intimate event full of love and laughter by family and close friends.  Her bride got ready at her friend’s house just across the street from their ceremony site at Time Ten Cellars Dallas.

 The little yellow guy, I forgot his name, goes with them everywhere.  They have pictures of him from all of their travels and adventures so it was only appropriate that he make an appearance at their wedding!

 I have to say, this Shelley has been one of our most hands on creative brides.  She created her brooch bouquet and her husband’s boutonniere herself.  Aren’t they fabulous?!

 Then one of the groom’s family members was not able to make it to the wedding so they Skyed him into the event.

Once again another wonderful piece by the bride.  The Cake Guys created the cakes and Shelley created the toppers all by hand by herself.
