Stephanie and Andrew met in College Station.  Even though they’d been friends with each other for a while, it wasn’t until they serendipitously ran into each other by chance in Las Vegas. Something about that change in scenery allowed them to see each other as possibly more than friends.  When it was time to propose, Andrew took Stephanie back to Las Vegas to change their relationship status once again. As they toured the Grand Canyon via helicopter, Andrew proposed to Stephanie and she said yes.  He even surprised her, again, by having her family there in Vegas with them to celebrate.  They officially became husband and wife in December and it was my joy to be their Olana wedding photographer in Dallas, Texas!

Stephanie and her mom have such a sweet relationship!  I loved watching these two just love on each other all day!  They wrote cards to each other and had everyone crying as they read them aloud to the other.

Once Stephanie was ready, it was time to let her bridesmaids get the first peek at her!  This is one of my favorite moments from their Wedding at The Olana!

After bridesmaids portraits, Stephanie shared a first look with her dad and her brother.  Of course, there were tears!

The Olana is one of my favorite wedding venues!  The guys have an entire floor to themselves to get ready!  It has a basketball court and a bowling alley and it’s own bar.  It’s easily the best getting ready space for guys I’ve ever seen.

After his friends and family prayed over Andrew and his marriage with Stephanie, it was time to make things official!  Their wedding was held inside the main ballroom at The Olana which has windows on three sides.

The Ceremony

Those just married vibes are so sweet!!  Andrew could not take his eyes off of Stephanie and was soaking up every second of checking out his WIFE!  They even spent a few minutes by themselves in the green room of The Olana.

Wedding Party Photos were next!

Stephanie and Andrew were announced into their Olana wedding reception and went straight into their first dance as husband and wife.

After they cut the cake, Stephanie and Andrew cheers-ed to happily ever after with the same champagne flutes that Andrew’s parents used at their wedding.

Andrew came up to me during the reception and said that I had to have the best job in the world!  He said it must be so fun to watch people get turnt up and he is absolutely correct!  I have the best job in the world because I have the best clients in the world!

Stephanie and Andrew – thank you so much for inviting me to be your Olana Wedding Photographer!  It was such a joy to celebrate with you both!  Cheers to happily ever after!
