I really feel like I don’t need to say much about this gorgeous girl! She is my sunshine! I could literally spend the whole day with her and never stop smiling or laughing! I absolutely adore her!! She and her new husband, Seth, have the most amazing spirits, and personalities!!

Thank you to the Warwick Melrose for letting us use your gorgeous venue!! It was perfect for them and her beautiful bridal session!

Wedding season has begun!!

Fairy Tale Photography — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:20:12 +0000

I know I’m not the world’s greatest at keeping up with this thing… So, I’m going to apologize in advance. For future reference, just know that I am truly sorry for not being an amazing blogger!! I really really aspire to be… among other things.. (cook, artist, fashion expert… etc) but alas I am not. Hopefully you will understand, and forgive me. I am going to thank you in advance for the amazing hospitality!

Now, onward. So, this past weekend I got thrown into the wonder that will be known as “The Amazing Wedding Season of 2010!” Started the weekend off with an amazing wedding on Friday with Tammy and Nathan! Then Saturday I taught a workshop in Tyler for new photographers and did 6 children’s photo shoots. Then on Sunday, I got to spend the entire day outside with 3 amazing couples!! And wrapped up with another children’s shoot on Monday morning!

Whirlwind of a weekend, but it was SO worth it! I would not want to spend my time doing anything else! So, I wanted to give you a little sneak of this past weekend!

I’ll try to be better about keeping you updated!

more to come… keep watching!

Do you want a REALLY COOL video??

Fairy Tale Photography — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 00:07:54 +0000

Lately people have been asking me for amazing videographer suggestions… and I love that! If done right I think your wedding video can be absolutely amazing. Video has come so far from where it used to be, now a days it’s a whole new world!

The crazy awesome people at MediaBlend Studios have done something amazing… they are revolutionizing wedding videography into wedding cinematography… aka… you get to star in a movie on your wedding day! It’s pretty awesome. They have some of the most advanced equipment I’ve ever seen at a wedding… The “steady cam” is ridiculous! It adds a whole new element to your wedding “movie” that a lot of folks aren’t doing.

I got to work a wedding with them in February… and not only was it a crazy awesome wedding, they turned out a “trailor” for their video that is UNreal. You can really see the difference when you watch this video…

And yes… at the beginning, that was Ryan actually saying his vows. How cool is that?!

So you may ask your self… “Self, why is Lauren going on and on about a videographer. I thought she was a PHOTOgrapher.” Very good question. Well, the people at MediaBlend are SO cool… they are going to give anyone who books with Fairy Tale Photography (and tells them I sent you) THIRTY PERCENT off! That’s right… 30%. So… run over to their website and call them up, and tell them Lauren sent you! Don’t pass this offer up… What they can give you is invaluable!

And now… just to show off their awesome wedding…

I had incredible vendors that day too!!…

Venue: Las Colinas Country Club

Flowers: A Man and A Woman

DJ: DJ Mav with Mav Productions and John “Speed” Viesca

Video: MediaBlend

Lighting: Elegant Lighting

Cake: Delicious Cakes

Now, don’t forget… go run to MediaBlend and take advantage of that amazing deal!

Monica and David (Wedding!!)

Fairy Tale Photography — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:27:44 +0000

There are some weddings where I pack up my equipment at the end of the night, get in my car, and sadness hits me because I am truly so sad that their wedding has come and gone! I absolutely LOVED this couple from the very first time I met them! I met them at a Starbucks and could have sat there with them all night long! I felt like we had been friends for so long! Even as I was looking through their images to get them edited and ready I would bust out laughing or almost cry because I was so attached to them and their story! I could not be happier and feel more privileged to have been a part of their huge day! I feel so honored! Anyway, with the first picture… how could you NOT love them!

And you can tell their reception was Amaazing! I pretty much have the whole thriller dance frame by frame in our images! Hilarious! And, might I add, one of the best thriller dances I’ve ever seen!

Congratulations Monica and David! I can’t wait to see your story unfold together!

Jennifer and Michael (Wedding!)

Fairy Tale Photography — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 02:29:28 +0000

Jennifer and Michael were married on December 20… and Laura got to do her Bridals, and this girl is fantastic, and gorgeous, and pulls off that amazing vintage look like no one else! From her dress, to her birdcage veil, to her amazing shaw, to her self made florals… Is there anything this girl can’t do!?! As I was looking through her images (because sadly I wasn’t able to be at this one, but Laura and Damon are ROCKSTARS) I was jaw dropped pretty much the whole time at just how freaking amazing she is, he is, and their wedding was!

And if you don’t know… you should… I LOVE details! They are so small, but SO amazing! Each little detail is a little bit of the couples personality! UGH! I LOVE IT! And, not every girl can pull off the vintage awesome birdcage veil, but this girl…. just makes it look GORGEOUS!

For Jennifer and Michael’s formal pictures of the wedding party, Laura and Damon got REAL creative! They wanted to do them in front of this perfect purple wall downtown, but did not want to see each other before the wedding! So… they improvised! And I think they ended up with some of our best formals yet! Remember:they couldn’t see each other!!

Gorgeous couple, gorgeous wedding, gorgeous day… it was amazing!! On a side note, I added that picture of Michael and one of his groomsmen to say this: I will never understand the friendships guys have. They are so funny! Guys formals are always one of my highlights, because you never know the track guys will take. Will they hate pictures? Will they be coming up with ideas? Will they just awkwardly hug each other? It’s always a fun game I like to play!

Oh and… Props!!! Always a good idea! You can NEVER go wrong with props!!

Erica and Tim (E-Session)

Fairy Tale Photography — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 06:46:38 +0000

Erica and Tim are getting married next summer, and we got to hang out and play a little today! If you don’t know this about us already, we like to make everything very personal to who you are as a couple! No one else will have your engagement photos, or poses, or anything… So we made today’s engagement session personal to them by starting out with a round of putt-putt golf!! What better way to start?!

Tim proposed while they were playing putt-putt one day! Isn’t that CUTE! And well… Erica won! They both had fun and we get to play again next Sunday in Waco, at Baylor! Super excited!!

Keep looking for more!

Stacey and Justin (e-session!!)

Fairy Tale Photography — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:59:39 +0000

Stacey and Justin were so much fun! It took us a little bit to get loosened up, but, they got on a roll, and started to shine like I knew they could! I don’t usually travel to Ft. Worth but thanks to a few good friends, I found some AMAZING locations hidden behind a really yummy restaurant! We had a great morning! I hope you love these as much as I do!

Look for their wedding in January!! Can’t WAIT!

Kristen and Jerod had SO much fun at the Arboretum! You know the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words”? I’m going to let the last picture speak for their engagement session! I can’t believe Laura caught this…

AMAZING! And, this picture will be one that cracks me up, for a really long time!

Fairy Tale Photography — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 06:25:14 +0000

This is a super sneak peek from Lauren and Stephen’s wedding! I just want to wet your appetite, because believe me, I could post A MILLION images from their wedding!! Today was amazing!! And every time I turned around I was completely surprised.

So, keep watching, I am definitely going to blog more about them… but I’ll leave you with this in the mean time, and a question.

What are these crazy kids doing?!?

Aimee and Michael

Fairy Tale Photography — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:56:41 +0000

I (Lauren) had the pleasure of shooting Aimee and Michael’s wedding Saturday at Fairy Tale Manor! Holy Moley, this one was GOOD!!

Aimee and Michael were so fun the whole time! I don’t think Aimee ever stopped smiling! The rain wanted to put a damper on things, but she didn’t let it! We had to rearrange a few things, but you have to love a bride who is so willing to go with the flow! And then! If that wasn’t enough, we snuck outside and took that last picture in front of the tree with twinkle lights! Hi, they should be MODELS!

They were absolutely amazing! I’m still talking about how much I enjoyed their day!
