Thanks ladies! I am super excited to be a part of your big day. Weddings are so much fun.

What won our hearts was the story of the proposal and the way it was told was unique which I will share.

Our Proposal

Elizabeth: Jason proposed to me on my 28th birthday.

Jason: I was afraid if I planned something "out of the ordinary" she might be suspicious, so I chose her birthday.

Elizabeth: I took a half day of work to spend with Jason. He took me to my favorite lunch spot, The Med.

Jason: I gave Bit a couple options of things she might enjoy doing on her birthday. They consisted of: A butterfly pavilion, a Denver Museum, or a nearby Orchid Garden. I knew full well which one she would choose; she loves orchids.

Elizabeth: I didn't even have to think twice, I chose the orchids. Jason agreed to take me there after lunch and opening gifts at home.

Jason: I was surprisingly calm until we pulled into our apartment complex, but she didn't seem to notice anything.

Elizabeth: Upon walking into the apartment as Jason said it best, he "brought the orchid garden to me". There were orchids decorating the entire room.

Jason: I wished her a happy birthday and waited.......... finally I said, "which do you like best?"

Elizabeth: I took a closer look to examine which I liked best and there I found a ring dangling from the stem of the only orchid that had grown a "pair" of flowers.

Jason: Her reaction is best described as shock.

Elizabeth: I turned to him, as he knelt down on one knee.

Jason: I had a proposal speech prepared, but Bit immediately started to cry, so I don't think it came out as planned.

Elizabeth: Through my tears, I said "I have no idea what you just said, but yes!"

Winner....Drum roll........Elizabeth and Jason

Since I am asking for you to tell me a little about you, here is a little about us. My name is Sherese and I am the owner. My husband who shoots weddings is Michael. We have a few other assistants because some weekends we are really booked up and both of us are doing weddings. We are based in the Dallas area. We did 2 destination weddings this year (Mexico and Bahamas) and looking to build our portfolio with more destinations. This year we did about 50 weddings so we were pretty busy but of course we want to step it up next year. We got married in 2007 and something unique about our wedding is that I wore a red dress on our wedding day. Since that time the theme of our website has been black and red. Since I am sure you want to know what we look like so here is a link to a blog of some self portraits taken a few weeks ago.

Hello and good luck on your planning!!

Hello! Goodluck on all your planning Your wedding date will be here before you know it.

I wouldn't spend money on something like that. Just buy a scanner that you could get more use out of (like a 3 in 1) If you don't want to scan them you could always take them in somewhere and have them do it. Good luck.

That is awesome! I am sure you will have a great time. That is really nice of him.

I feel for you! I am new here and so busy, I feel I am missing everything that goes on. Have fun out and about!

Pets are so great. Thanks for sharing pictures!

I LOVE that dress! I think you should keep it!
