Some of you know I am also a Dallas wedding photographer. I love being able to share stories from the wedding vendor side of the industry. I photographed Tamra’s Dallas wedding in 2009 and that’s how we connected. I am so very fortunate to have such kind clients who always welcome me into their homes and their families. At the end of the day, I feel like I am able to create memories they will cherish forever. I also love hearing from other wedding professionals these same great stories. Couples take care of us. The mother of the bride may bring us water in the middle of the formals to make sure we are staying hydrated. Brides will seat us with guests during dinner at the wedding to make sure we have been fed. These little things NEVER go unnoticed by wedding professionals. We greatly appreciate being taken care of while we are giving extra attention to every detail to make sure the Bride and Groom are being cared for as well. I recently was in Houston, Texas helping out a great friend and fellow Dallas Wedding Photographer, Lindsey Shea. If you don’t know who she is, go check out her blog and be amazed with the gorgeous wedding imagery there! The wedding was a 14+ hour wedding. We talked the night before about how we were going to bring along energy bars, water and possibly make it to a drive through between locations to keep our energy levels up during the wedding. After all, who wants a wedding photographer with plummeting blood sugar levels? The couple and their family welcomed us and encouraged us to eat with them, to celebrate the day with them. At dinner all guests were served a 7 course meal and we were seated along side them.

Some couples will offer their wedding vendors a vendor meal away from the guests. This is perfect as well.
