Kara and Tristan, aka my Taco Bell couple, have been amazing to work with as a wedding photographer! They’re both very kind-hearted, love animals, LOVE TACOS (sorry, I can’t stress this enough hehe!) and are one of the best people you can come across in life!

QUICK TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO THEIR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS!

Their furkid Cooper is such a good boy – anyone and everyone would fall in love with his sweet personality. He even came to visit me at the studio and got along with Nyx – my studio cat that absolutely hates all other animals haha!

And of course we had to do part of their engagements at their favorite Taco Bell!

BACK TO THE WEDDING DAY!

We met with Kara at the Nylo Hotel Plano to photograph her getting ready. As a wedding photographer, Nylo’s are probably one of my favorite hotels for wedding mornings as their rooms and conference rooms are very spacious, stylish and very good natural light for beautiful photos.

Kara’s colors were emerald, gold and ivory/white. After finishing her styled flat lays, I showed her a few photos – her reaction was priceless! 🙂

We continued our day at their wedding venue, at Verone Villa.

And of course, we had to pop a bottle of champagne too! 🙂

Kara and Tristan wanted to do a first look before their ceremony and it was probably one of the most emotional first looks. They’re both very emotional humans who are not afraid to show their love, genuinely.

Kara also wanted to do a first look with her dad, which was even more emotional. I will never be able to hold my cool if dads start crying when they see their little girl in their dress for the first time!

 

Their ceremony was filled with happy tears and lots of happy expressions! I’d say – I’m always thankful for waterproof mascara and eyeliner!

The guests were on the dance floor all night long! I may have even danced a little myself! 🙂

If you can’t already tell, we love doing “drunk photographer photos” – all while we’re totally sober 🙂

Kara and Tristan, THANK YOU SO MUCH for having us there to document your wedding day! Everything was absolutely beautiful and you two have been amazing to work with! I can’t wait to have you and Cooper over at Taradise again <3
