Before the big day

On Saturday I went out to dinner with the fabulous Alissa Harvey of Mew Paper Arts. It was our first time meeting in person but if you saw us that night you would’ve thought we were old friends. The wine and conversation never stopped flowing. We met at 4:30 and didn’t leave until 10pm!!! One question Alissa asked was why I never shared any pictures of my wedding. I had no answer other than good idea! Because our photographer was awesome and took oodles amount of pictures I’ll split them up not to overwhelm you. Ready?

We found our fabulous photographer, Edward Ramirez back in 2005, through a bride, Sara, who also got married at the same location as we did. A little background, we got married at Annabelle Mansion in Burleson, Texas. Wayne and I living in Connecticut made it difficult to plan from far away so I relied heavily on www.theknot.com for resources. Sara, who already was on www.theknot.com, was getting married at the same location as Wayne and I. So we instantly connected and became great friends, still to this day. She referred me to Edward who did an amazing job capturing all the pomp and circumstance that goes along with a Texas wedding, because it’s true, everything is bigger in Texas.

We first met Edward during our engagement shoot that took place in downtown Dallas. I wanted something different and urban and Edward didn’t disappoint. Check out some of the great photographs he took on that hot and humid Texas day.

Check back next week for more!
