Jenni // Bridal

Shaun Menary — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 17:58:58 +0000

What can I say about Jenni? She is one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever met in my lifetime. She is full of life, laughter, and probably has the sweetest disposition you’ve ever seen. She genuinely cares for people in a way that is unmatched by most. Jenni married my best friend, Paul, and I had the honor of shooting her bridals and their wedding. Short story about the bridals: We had some great locations picked out the day of the bridals that all fell through at the last minute. However, Jenni had the greatest attitude and she was just like “let’s just go and we’ll figure it out; I know the shots will come out great.” So, I picked a back up location and we just went. Whilst shooting at our very first spot, in a field right next to a huge mansion, the owner of said mansion came out to us and, because her 11yr old son thought Jenni looked so beautiful, offered to let us come into their yard and shoot.. and then inside their house!! It was totally random and SUCH a huge blessing. The Lord really provided for us on that day and we got access to one of the best locations I could ever imagine! I’ve very grateful that I know Jenni and so happy that her husband, Paul, was blessed with a wife like her. Aaanndd.. Jenni is super creative and about to launch her own paper company… so look out!

Bride: Kristin

Kristin is a Diva. She completely rocked her bridals and looked amazing! We shot at the W Hotel and the Stoneleigh in Dallas. Both are two of my favorite places to shoot for sure, so it was quite a treat. Mo Bowers did Kristin’s make up and I must say that she is one of the best in the biz! If you can book her… DO IT! You won’t be sorry. And the amazing flowers were done by the one and only Jordan Payne, who was also Kristin’s wedding coordinator. She’s awesome at both flowers and coordinating! You should book her too! Great job, Kristin, you are awesome:

Kelly’s Bridals

Kelly & Jared are one of my all-time favorite couples ever for sure. You might remember her and Jared’s engagement session here. I recently shot their wedding (which I can’t WAIT to post for you) and the time has come to show you her bridals. We shot at The Mansion On Turtle Creek in Dallas and I literally could have shot there for days. WARNING: Kelly’s modeling skills will blow your mind. She is a natural in front of the camera and between her skills and some props she brought we got some of my favorite portraits to date. Enjoy:

Christie Rocks a Bridal

Christie and Taylor got married a couple weeks ago (look for that post very soon), so I can FINALLY show you how awesome Christie looks in her dress! We had so much fun shooting her bridals at the Hickory Street Annex in Dallas. She did awesome on the shoot, she modeled like a pro! I feel so blessed and honored to be a part of their wedding day, I can’t wait to show you.

Amanda Bridal!

Amanda is one of the coolest most laid back brides I’ve worked with! We had such a good time and she totally ROCKED the shoot! She and Joe just got married last weekend so I can finally show you all this bridal session! We shot at the fabulous Fort Worth Club in downtown Fort Worth, TX, as well as a little around downtown itself. Look for Amanda and Joe’s wedding post coming soon, it was a blast and I can’t wait to finish it and post it for you!

Christy’s Bridals

I was so honored when my friend Christy asked me to shoot her bridals for her. I wasn’t able to go to her wedding because I was shooting that day, so I was overjoyed that I got to play a small role in her day….and that I got to be the FIRST to see how beautiful she looked in her dress! We got to shoot at the aaaammmaazziiinnnggg Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas. If you’re in Dallas or coming through, it’s a place definitely worth checking out. Christy and Cody, I wish you two the best! Now that they are married and everyone has seen her in her dress…..let the beauty commence:

Kate’s Bridals

As mentioned in my previous post, this is Kate. She just got married to one of my best friends and band mate, Nick (wedding post coming soon). I’m so excited to finally get to post these because they are ROCKING and Kate looks awesome! We shot it at Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas, TX. The location was killer! It’s time the world should see…
