Talk about a picturesque southern Louisianan plantation wedding, at the Oak Ally Plantation home! It does not get any better then this wedding ! Courtnee and Jocob have planned their dream wedding for over a year. Planning thier wedding from Dallas was not the easiest thing in the world, especially that it was a destination wedding! Throughout all the hurdles that they faced, thier smiles and love of life and togetherness was always present. This post celebrates their love, and hopefully inspires us all, to smile and love like no one is watching! Thank you for taking us on your journey, to many more smiles and laughter, and pictures!!!!
I will never forget the day I meet Traci at the studio...she just had a bridal glow that illuminated the room...and she had that glow all through out this amazing journey every time we saw her and photograph her...and Matthew, his smile looking at her is something we will never forget...anything she does makes him smile!
The day of the wedding was so magical! We meet Traci at the Anatole Hotel in Dallas to witness her get in her gorgeous gown and put on her long cathedral veil ...and to her surprise, her dad picked her up in this amazing Rolls Royce...which it was a sweet treat to Traci, but Oh my...her dad, enjoyed it even more! The ceremony at the one and only Guadalupe Cathedral in downtown Dallas, gave that day such a holly, spiritual, and emotional feeling...from the grandness and beauty of the architecture to the moving words of the priest!
Once we got to the gorgeous modern reception site at La Cima Club in Las Colinas, we truly were able to see how much love everyone has for Traci and Matt. The speeches were by far some of the most moving and heartfelt speeches we have ever heard...it had everyone in tears! And wow...dancing to the most amazing Frank Sinatra style band...a totally classy and beautiful reception.
This wedding was a wedding we will never forget...full packed of emotion...from giggles and laughs to tears and and more tears of joy...
There are no words to describe how I feel...the pictures tell it all. An absolutely perfect day for my sister.

Jenny & Eddie,
Thank you so much for a wonderful job. The photos from the wedding as well as the Bridal and Engagement sessions all far exceeded my expectations.
So many people from the wedding either told us on the night or later on how hard the both of you worked (not to mention the knee injury). We have received nothing but praise as well regarding the photos as well.
I can still remember Eddie jumping up and down on the dance floor to get the perfect shot. Your dedication to excellence is appreciated.
The both of you were wonderful to work with, please feel free to use us as a reference as a truly delighted client.
Best Wishes and I can't wait to see the full compliment when ready.
