Jess Barfield Photography

A rainy day turned into a gorgeous celebration at Arlington Hall, complete with lovely peach florals and a great night of dancing led by The Pictures Band from Austin. It was SO FUN!

Caitlin and Chris: enjoy Hawaii! We are all jealous :) J

 

This post is near and dear to my heart. (I know I always say that, but it's because I genuinely LOVE all the couples I get to work with... I just love a lot). I especially mean it today because I had the joy of having McKenzie work for me for the past year or so. McKenzie did the "fun" office jobs that keep Jess Barfield Photography organized and running smoothly. She coordinated details every week, making me look like I had it all together. I expected those things but what I didn't expect was to work with one of the most positive, encouraging and selfless women of God I have ever had the joy of knowing. 

McKenzie and Stephen are a constant source of joy and laughter in the lives of so many incredible people and it was a true joy to watch all these individuals join together to bless them in return this past weekend. I wouldn't have traded it for the world. McKenzie and Stephen : I hope you know how dearly you are both loved. We are all thrilled to watch how the Lord blesses you in this new journey. Love. Love. Love. J

Words will most likely fail to describe the gratitude Blake and I feel to have been invited to photograph Ray and Dahlia's wedding day in Sudbury, Ontario - a quaint town North of Toronto.  Ray and Dahlia live in Australia, but since she grew up in Ontario, they decided to have a wedding in Canada and then another wedding in Australia for their friends in Brisbane. Genius!  Dahlia is a graphic designer extraordinaire and designed a double invitation to both weddings... and I'm pretty much in love with it (see below).

This wedding was one of the most romantic, intimate, beautiful occasions I've had the joy of photographing.  The wedding was held in the bride's backyard, with the ceremony near the garden and the reception in a white tent down by the lake. Everything from the wedding cake, to the flowers, to the invitations were completely made by the bride & groom and their family and friends. It was perfectly, uniquely THEM... and it was so refreshing.

  The sunlight in Canada is indescribable and absolutely magical... it adds this lovely hue to every image that you can't recreate in any digital program. I'm obsessed.

To all the Australian groomsmen and family, to the kind Canadian friends and parents, to the folk band, to the next door neighbor with the goldens, to Dahlia and Ray: you are some of the most genuine people I've been able to work with- you better let us know when you fly through Dallas! Miss y'all already! J

This shoot was just good for the soul.

These two are the photographers behind Lion Heart Images - they are so talented, selfless, hysterical, and all around legit people. We had a lovely evening exploring the little Texas town of Eastland (where Lo's family is from). Their October wedding couldn't come soon enough!

So excited to share this gorgeous wedding with you all! Jack and Paige - hope you're having an incredible time in Hawaii!
