Angie & Marciano

Business cards

are literally the best investment any small business, or business for that matter, can purchase.

I typically hand mine out like candy on Halloween, with a small return rate, but here's an instance where it truly paid off - 2 years later. Ha.

(Shout out to Ray & Jen with FIND Apparel Co. for this interaction)

I was messaged last week to photograph and video Marciano and Angie's wedding this upcoming week. I'm excited and nervous, but I always get nervous before shoots, so that's normal.

We booked their engagement shoot pretty soon after he messaged me about the wedding, and met at Urban Alchemy Coffee + Wine Bar, where they actually met for their first date.

I photographed them on a couch, but we then moved to the very table they sat at on their first date.

Huge thanks to Urban Alchemy for allowing me to photograph within their venue. If you're local to Arlington, or plan to visit, you should definitely check this place out.

Downtown Arlington is developing rapidly.

I feel it's turning into a mini hipster Dallas, and that allows for some awesome building walls to utilize for great portrait backgrounds. We only had to turn the corner to find the yellow and reds.

I'm a huge fan of convenience while on my shoots, and I love diversity within my portraits.

After we left our first location, we went down the street and around the bend, to a different area of downtown.

I love how it really captures the city's heart that continues to grow.

At the end of our photo date, it became golden hour - all hail the hour of gold.

Behind the fountain, there was an open staircase that overlooked the street, much advantage was taken.

We thought we were finished, but alas, Marciano noticed this blue car, a beauty, ready to be utilized.

Thus, magic happened.

Thank you so much

for contacting me, and for these beautiful portraits to add to my portfolio. You both were naturals in front of the camera - I had a blast.

I look forward to capturing ya'lls wedding, and wish you all the best in your future together.
