There’s just something about Kelly. Her engagements, bridals, and her wedding have all been some of my favorite shoots of all time. It is her unique sense of style and her Martha-Stewart-esque craftiness? Is it her uncanny ability to pick the best locations, the best props, the best outfits, and of course the best husband? Or is it just the fact that she’s incredibly beautiful and makes my job way easy? The world may never know. I’ll be sharing heaps of photos of Kelly over the next few months, but today we’ll get started with her bridal session at the NYLO Hotel in Plano – hands down my favorite hotel in the Dallas area. They have the best decor, the best food, the best service, the best rooms (and cheap, too!), and they’re really friendly and accommodating to photographers, which is a refreshing change of pace. It’s the place I’m holding my workshop, and it’s the only place I recommend to people staying in the North Dallas area. I can’t really recommend them enough!
Back to Kelly – she decided on the NYLO based solely on my recommendation, and I think my description of its “funky urban loft vibe” worried her Texas-country-girl sensibilities. It turned out to be a perfect match, because the bright orange and brown decor matched her wedding colors (orange and brown) perfectly! Here are some of my favorite shots from her session:

Great work Stacy! Love that location :)
These are amazing, I absolutely love your style!
very nice wedding photos!
I’m obsessed with her dress. It’s so gorgeous. And I love that her shoes and invites match Nylo! lol
Awe, thanks for all the kind words! You did such an amazing job on all of my photos…the only problem I’m having it picking which ones I like the best…they are all so great!! It was a pleasure working with you!!!!
I love it! You look absolutely BEAUTIFUL..
Baby, you look absolutely gorgeous. I had several co-workers come by my desk to look at your bridal portraits, since I had never seen them, and after we had seen about 2 or 3 of the pictures, I told one of the guys that I needed to sit down, because I was getting weak in the knees. He replied to me and said, “Uhm, Tan, you are sitting down. Are you okay?” It was then that I realized that you can sweep me off of my feet, even when I am not standing on them.
I don’t know what I did or didn’t do, that God would allow someone like me, to be with someone like you, but I thank Him, each and every day for having you in my life and being able to love you.
You are my dream come true, and words cannot describe how much I love you. Many years ago, my dad gave my mom a plaque, and on it was this little enscription that said, ” I do not love you, because I need you; I need you, because I love you.” I never gave it much thought, but after you came into my life, I now know exactly what it means. You are my world, and I cannot wait to become a family…. I love you!!!! me
Love, love, love the pictures! Great job Stacy and Kelly wow you look amazing, so glad I got to be there that day! Love ya Kelly, and Tan…you are so sweet!

Absolutely gorgeous photo’s and beautiful bride!
HOLY BEAUTIFUL DRESS! AND BRIDE. Stacy, these are FABTABULOUS! for reals.
Just came here to see about updates on Sundays workshop but dropped my jaw when I saw these bridals! So gorgeous, I wish it were me in that dress! I was going to list my favorites, but there are to many!
These are so lovely! I liked them before but now even moreso after seeing the NYLO in person.
Amazing work as always! Your attention to detail is brilliant (and having such a gorgeous bride never hurts either)!!
I’ve been to the NYLO and you rocked this shoot!
Classic shot in the window, love it
