• The sweetest duo is on the blog today, introducing Mr. and Mrs. Tung!! Stacy and Alvin tied the knot at the stunning chapel at @thelaureltexas in Grapevine 😍 Their day was full of joy and laughter - it was clear throughout the day that they are very loved - their bridal party members were constantly cheering them on and I love their enthusiasm 🎉 After Stacy and Alvin shared a quiet first look together, they had a tea ceremony with their closest family members. I love when couples are able to take time to honor their family traditions and to pay tribute to the different cultures that have shaped them. After the tea ceremony, Stacy changed back into her wedding dress just in time to walk down the alter to say “I do!” 💍 Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs., be sure to stop by and leave them some love on the blog 💕 (link in bio) Venue: @thelaureltexas Photographer: @tarabarnesphoto Videographer: @threeinonemedia Hair and Makeup: @blashedbbb Florist: @trfloral Cake: @ashleys__sweets Bridesmaid Dresses: @iheartazazie Wedding Dress Shop: @bellesaisonbridal DJ: @leforcedj Catering: @gilscatering

  • “Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.” -Ann Landers

  • It’s been a whirlwind these past few months shooting a wedding and traveling almost every weekend! This past weekend I had 2 bridal sessions in 2 different cities then a wedding in Houston on Saturday! I just got back home so if you need me I’ll be glued to my computer this week editing away 😉 If I’m being honest, it’s overwhelming and exhausting at times, but I love my brides and grooms so much and they keep me motivated! I’m so incredibly thankful for all the amazing relationships this business has allowed me to cultivate 💛 Thank you to everyone who has allowed me to be a part of this season of their lives. It’s an honor and privilege I don’t take lightly and I’m so thankful!

  • Lauren and Miles had the sweetest brunch wedding at @ashtongardensdallas 💕 Brunch weddings are a favorite of mine, nothing like a waffle and coffee bar as a creative way to serve your guests! They even had homemade jam (made by Miles’ mom) for favors 😋 This adorable, but fun wedding is on the blog via the link in my bio! Be sure to check them out and leave them some love 💛 Special thanks to the vendors that made their day possible: Venue: @ashtongardensdallas Coordinator: Joelle with Ashton Gardens Hair and Makeup: @laurensmithcraven Photographer: @tarabarnesphoto Florist: @flowerclvb Cakes: @kiwiskitchentx Invitations: @shutterfly Bridesmaid Dresses: @lulus Groomsmen Attire: @josabank Wedding Dress: @bridesandbeauxtx Catering: @ashtongardensdallas

  • Another stunning Peach Creek Ranch wedding is on the blog! Cinny and Josh tied the knot last month with the most beautiful blue skies overlooking the lake for their sunny outdoor ceremony ☀️Cinny’s son stood next to Josh for the ceremony and all three shared the sweetest hug afterwards - swipe through for their reaction! 😍 Cinny and Josh first met when they were neighbors – who would have thought they’d be tying the knot years later!? With Cinny being a Longhorn and Josh being an Aggie it’s definitely a “house divided,” but Cinny was such a good sport for all the Aggie traditions. She even jumped in on the Aggie War Hymn! (whoop!) 👍 View more from their fun, laid-back day via the link in my bio.

  • 5 years of marriage 💕 I’m not the best at social media updates (especially during busy season) so this post is a little late. This past weekend Justin and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary! These past 5 years went by like the blink of an eye and I’m sure the next 5 will go by even faster. From career successes, fun vacations, and building lifelong friendships together to loss, heartache, and struggles along the way we’ve been there for one another through thick and thin. One of the biggest things we’ve learned is to put the “we” before “me.” It’s so important to remember that in marriage, you are on a team together, not on separate teams against one another. (Which at times can be easier said than done if I may add 😉) We celebrated our anniversary earlier this month by going on a cruise for some intentional “us” time and we had a blast! It was Justin’s first time on a cruise and I think it’s officially become one of our favorite ways to vacation! Here’s to 5 more years together and many more after that! #lifeasabarnes

  • Happy Friday! There’s a new blog post that just went live today 💕 Beatriz and Jonathan’s day was one of a kind. They thought of every detail and even had appetizers as guests arrived at their wedding! I love this shot of Bea and her girls, Bea has such a fun, radiant personality, not to mention she’s incredibly thoughtful 💕 She even gave me a gift on HER wedding day! She gave me a shirt with my photography hashtag on it (how thoughtful!) along with a few other goodies that fit me perfectly 😍 Check out their post via the link in my bio!

  • Only blue skies and sunshine for Cinny and Josh’s day! ☀️ I love that the sun sets behind the lake at @peachcreekranch making it the perfect outdoor ceremony spot! 😍 Although the weather is unpredictable, outdoor spring ceremonies are my favorite! 💕 Justin and I were married outdoors and even though there was a 100% prediction of rain the sun came out just in time for the ceremony! For those who are married was your ceremony outside or inside? #tarabarnesphoto
