Cecilia + Jeremy Dallas Engagement Photography

These two people are so incredibly adorable together and so wonderful to photograph.  I met Cecilia and Jeremy while planning their wedding day through the amazing Hotel Za Za in Dallas Texas.  They both met while in Dental school and are now two very successful Dentists in Plano (which by the way you may want to see them for some good ol’ dental work).  Talented and beautiful, they came together and have been together for three years.   Three years later, here we are photographing their engagement session in Dallas at White Rock Lake.  Well I actually started the shoot with Cecilia at the Filter Building in Dallas and then finished her Bridals at White Rock Lake – (which I of course can NOT show you as of yet since their wedding is a week away) lol… continue reading below

A little fun info – Cecilia and Jeremy have the fabulous Kimberly Rhodes of Hitched Events from Dallas for Day of Planning for their wedding day.  The venue is as mentioned Earlier – Hotel ZaZa in Dallas which is a very cool chic fabulous venue.  The artistic high end luxury feel is perfect for Cecilia and Jeremy’s very chic style.  I will stop here with the details – STAY TUNED for wedding bridals and wedding day photography real soon!

 

The Laurel Venue Grapevine Texas New Event Space

The Laurel in Grapevine is a fabulous new event and wedding venue that has just had their grand opening.  Relive Photography was brought in to photograph for their very first SWP Society of Wedding Professionals November 2015.  This was a great Thanksgiving style lunch that was provided by Wendy Krispin Catering from the DFW and Dallas area.  The catering was fabulous and the lunch was finished off by homemade candied apples to top off the fall feel.  The apples were a wonderful touch and were provided by Catering by Chef Richard.  Florals and decor of course are a huge aspect of any event having a great outcome which was provided by Jenny Johnson of The I Do Girl Weddings and Events and Joche W. Floral & Event Design.  Of course I have not forgotten Carol Mark Events terrific Violinist Marek – who’s image is of course included.  Check out our list below to see ALL of the amazing talented artists and wedding and event professionals that took part in another successful event.  These amazing vendors put together a fabulous event this week for SWP of Dallas. I loved every moment of working with all of these professionals.  Enjoy some Sampes of the event!

SWP is a great association that I have been a member of in Texas to find and surround myself with top shelf wedding and event members.  I have found that this organization is just that!  A fabulous group of people with like minded ways of doing business and treating our clients in the utmost highest standards.  We all love what we do and it shows in these meetings where people put in their time and talent.  I am done bragging about SWP (see link above) but feel free to visit their site and find some vendors that you may need for your upcoming party!  You will definitely be happy you did.

For Real Equality Weddings Featured Laura & Amy’s

We are so honored that this amazing wedding site has featured our same sex wedding photography at For Real Equality Weddings Featured Laura and Amys Wedding

Relive Photography wrote, “Two beautiful souls have come together to be married among family and great friends. Their wedding rehearsal dinner was held first at the home in Aubrey Texas with amazing Babes chicken.

Wedding day was so sweet with a chapel wedding at the Little Chapel in the Woods in Denton Texas followed by one of the prettiest wedding decor designed with tons of fabulous florals, a cigar bar, a great Lady Gaga Impersonator that did quite a show!”

Earlier we had posted about there meeting and falling in love! I want to post that again here to give the sense of TRUE LOVE that Amy and Laura have for one another.  My heart melts when I read this and so will yours…

Amy and Laura are renewing their vows in November and wanted to do everything from Engagement Photography session to rehearsal dinner photography and of course wedding day photography. This photo session included their adorable dog and also served as a save the date photography session as well. Their story is so super sweet and embodies “Soul Mate” material. I asked for their story in their words and this is what Laura and Amy shared – (Must read – to awesome not to!)

In Laura’s words:  “It’s hard to contain all of our greatness in a short paragraph :)))))))) let me know what you think. I can condense if you need me to”

Amy and I met (for the first time), about 4 years ago at the resort I worked at in San Antonio. She was a frequent guest of ours, coming and staying for months at a time. I had always known her, as did everyone at the hotel. She was easy to talk to, down to earth, and a breath of fresh air compared to other guests. There was always something about her, I felt. She had this energy that drew you in like the strongest magnet possible and I was a little paper clip, always coming towards her a little at a time. What I didn’t know is that 4 years later I would be higher up in management, and I just happened to be in charge of guests like her, VIP’s we called them. As time went on Amy and I began a working relationship. She would need a room at the last minute, and I would make sure we had it open for her. Amy was dedicated to her job, and just knew me as Laura from the hotel, until that faithful night; I was to take her on a business dinner.

As the stars aligned and God had his way, Amy and I had dinner every night after that. I never imagined I would have a soul mate, let alone find mine to be so amazingly wonderful. We dated for a month…well…45 days as Amy likes to say before we decided to get married in San Francisco on November 22, 2013.

The day we got married was very intimate, it was just her and I and a limo driver that we hired for the day. I wore white, she wore navy and I carried flowers that she picked up from a downtown street flower vendor. It was just about us that day, two soul mates making an everlasting commitment to each other.

This year, on our one year anniversary we will be having the wedding of our dreams. All of our family and all of our friends are so excited to be a part of something so meaningful to us. The ceremony will be held at The Little Chapel In The Woods at the TWU campus (where Amy’s mother and aunt got married), and the reception will be at Ashton Gardens.

Every night, after the day has passed Amy leans over to me and says, “I would marry you again today, would you say yes?” And I respond “In a heartbeat.”

Garden Wedding Day for Cristina and Jonathan

Do you every have that feeling that when you meet someone the first time that you may have met the Love of your life? Cristina and Jonathan got married at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens this past weekend. I am pretty sure that these two have that Love at First Sight kind of Love. The sweet kind that melts your heart when you meet a couple. That is Crisitna and Jonathan!

The Arboetum was perfect for their wedding ceremony that was intimate yet stunning, from the family and friends love for this couple to the sheer beauty of their surroundings. The union was held by Margaret Weymann Atkinson who also did a gorgeous job at playing the Harp throughout the pre and post ceremony. We had a great time wandering the grounds and finding perfect settings around every corner. Really! If you have never been to the Arboretum, it is quite the sight.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this wonderful couple and their super kind families. Congratulations to you both.

Immediate Attention Needed – Clients Please Read

To All of our Valued Clients. Please confirm that any images Relive Photography has taken of you in the last 10 years have been printed or backed-up on a media device that is still operating and accessible today. Please do so within the next 15 days, in order to confirm that you no longer need access to your images or products through the Pictage Professional Photography Labs. Relive Photography is in the process of switching to a much better process that will ensure our clients an amazing experience. If you have orders in the process that are being fulfilled – they will be delivered as planned.

Why?
Pictage has just announced that they will be discontinuing the lifetime/extended storage service I have come to put my trust in for archiving wedding and client family images over the last decade. Some of the hard drives that I have used as a double back-up option to the online cloud storage from Pictage have failed, which means if your back-up options also are not working properly, than we both will not have an archive of your wedding or family memories in as little as 30 days time. The only way for me to help you obtain a DVD of files, or any printed images from Pictage, is to let me know within 15 days that you need access to them before they are removed from the Pictage servers.

The most archival version of your images is to have them in print, not in digital form.

It doesn’t matter to me if you print them with Pictage or through another photo lab, but please, if you love them, take the time to print them. Hard drives fail. Cloud services shut down. Power goes out. Prints are the most archival form of photography no matter what the latest digital trend is.

Pictage will continue as a service for photographers and their clients, they have simply announced that they are going to eliminate their archiving service. Because of this, I wanted to make sure you had a chance to double check your own archives in advance of the Pictage archives becoming inaccessible.

Thank you for scheduling time in your next two weeks to double-check the printability of your treasured images. I’m happy to help answer questions and provide solutions if your personal archives are no longer accessible.

If you would like to purchase a dvd of high resolution images within the next two weeks to provide an archival digital backup – please let me know as soon as possible. We will provide a full copy for you of your edited images that were on the server with Pictage for $225. Thank you in advance for your attention.

Thank you Anne Ruthann for your great text.

Hotel ZaZa Dallas Bridal Mixer

Hotel ZaZa of Dallas is exquisite and extremely unique in many ways. They are a great venue to hold a wedding at and have a very artistic and creative space for a Bride and Groom planning a beautiful and chic wedding. As a Dallas Wedding Photographer, my experience with Hotel ZaZa has been amazing and I would recommend this wedding ceremony and reception location as a 5 star choice. The staff goes out of their way to be accomodating to their guests and fellow vendors.

This was a gorgeous night showcasing the culinary cuisine, table linens, florals and their wonderful spirits.

Relay For Life Race and Survivor Dinner – Rockwall Texas 2014

This year I focused on joining the committee for Relay for Life Race held at the Cain Middle School in Rockwall Texas and the Survivor dinner that was held at the Mesquite Convention Center in Mesquite Texas. In the fight against cancer, silence is the last thing we need. Your local American Cancer Society Relay For Life event is a great place to take action and make noise. The Relay For Life movement features community and campus events that offer an inspiring opportunity to honor cancer survivors, promote how individuals can reduce their cancer risk, and raise money to help end cancer. Today, with the support of thousands of volunteers, the American Cancer Society is helping save more than 400 lives a day. And we won’t stop until we finish the fight against cancer! Many donators supported this cause and were incredibly giving in their time, energy, money, love and kindness. My heart was full from being able to get to know some of my fellow survivors and families, team participants and generous supporters of this disease. My wish is that one day we are not able to do a function like this and have found a treatment that will help everyone that we love to heal and not leave our sides. I myself am a cancer survivor and I also have people that are very very close to my heart that have fought this awful epidemic. I am so grateful to everyone that teamed up with us to aid in this cure. Keep strong and fight long! Please find a list after the images of the vendors that gave their time and products for support of our survivors to give them a fabulous night of “Celebrating them”!
