Brittany and Michael’s wedding this past July was one I had been looking forward to for over a year since I took their engagement photos. The day was nothing short of a dream and James and I were so happy to see these two high school sweethearts tie the knot!

I honestly could not get enough of Brittany and Michael’s precious flower girl and her sparkly red Toms.

Unlike most wedding day layouts, Brittany and Michael had a two-hour gap between their ceremony ending and their reception beginning. We took advantage of this time slot by heading up to the Denton square for some wedding party and bride-groom photos after finishing up family portraits at the church.

Did I mention that this wedding took place in July?

In Texas?

On one of the hottest days of the year?
Therefore a pit stop at Beth Marie’s for some ice cream was a must!

Their reception was held at the always-beautiful Hubbard Hall at TWU. I always love me spaces with lots of window lighting.

After dinner and toasts James and I snuck the bride and groom out for some sunset portraits around their reception venue. It also helped that the temperature was slightly cooler at that time too!

Ah! I so enjoy that I can feel the newlywed energy in these photos.

So fresh and giddy and new and just pouring out of both Brittany and Michael.

 Once we were back inside the party went into full swing and didn’t stop for hours and hours of dancing!

 Congratulations to you, Mr. and Mrs. O’Leary. It was such a joy to work with you!
