One of our favorite things to do is Styled Shoots!!!  What is a styled shoot you may ask?  It is where we team with a group of vendors to create an extraordinary event for something simple yet fabulous like an engagement, a proposal, bridals and more!  Here we combined a proposal and engagement shoot with a local Hot Air Balloon Festival and what we got was Gorgeous!  We owe a huge thank you to Lottie with Couture Events for organizing this and to Rita with Rent My Dust for loaning us props.  Both girls also spent their day creating and setting up this amazing photo shoot and we really could not recommend each of them enough!  Lottie is a brilliant wedding and event planner who defines the very essences of the word Creative!  Rita owns pretty much the coolest store we have ever encountered.  She rents ‘her dust’ to those of us who can’t distinguish a treasure from trash until she makes it beautiful for us.  She provided many of the props shown here like the chicken coop acting as our table, the antique radio on the table and more.  She can make your event a one of a kind with little to no effort on your behalf!

Below are the rest of the vendors who really stepped up to the plate and got the details in tact to create this Hot Air Balloon Proposal & Engagement Photo Shoot!

So Jonathan and I shot our first concert style event a couple weekends ago with Women of Faith‘s teen tour called The Revolve tour: Dream On.  It was great to step outside our norm and have some fun taking photos of girls and their moms just having a blast together in a more relaxed atmosphere.  It was also amazing to see their girls pouring their hearts out in praise and worship to Christ.  You can see the emotions of the day evolve as everyone enjoyed the awesome bands such as Hawk Nelson to the more somber, intimate moments from speakers such as Jenna Lucado Bishop.  There really are so many awesome photos to share but here are just a few of the ones we love!

We had so much fun hanging with the Fabulous CRAVE Launch Party crew this past Monday!  There were soooo many wonderful women entrepreneurs present and we met so many successful hard working women there.  This book is composed of some of the most brilliant women business owners in Dallas.  It was such an honor to hang out with them and to share our tent photo booth with them.  Here are a couple of photos of the booth, the women waiting to take photos in the booth and the fabulous shots they took in the booth!
