Beau & Jamie - by Amy Karp Photography

Even though Beau and Jamie didn't necessarily have their wedding ceremony or even their reception here at the Hickory Street Annex we are honored to be a part of such a special day. We love the story Amy Karp tells in her photography. For more information on Amy visit her website at: www.amykarp.com

Its not every day I am able to share such an intimate wedding ceremony with two people. I first met Jamie and Beau at a local Starbucks where she showed me her wedding binder. As we flipped through the pages, she turned to a style page and I was more than excited to let her know one of the images she found on Google and printed for her book was actually mine! They got married at a very quaint justice of the peace wedding ceremony in Richardson, Texas. The Dallas County Government Center was bustling with people, but as I sat with the two of them, they acted as they were the only two on earth. The excitement was in the air as they waited to be called back for their appointment for forever. I met the two of them that morning and our plans originally didn’t include any photography at the actual civil ceremony, but I just had to tell the whole story. Its sweet, its romantic and so very intimate. I admit to having eyes filled with tears during the sweet ceremony in the judge’s chambers. They exchanged vows in front of a bookcase filled with law books. Simple, sweet and perfect for them!

After they exchanged their sweet vows we made our way down to Hickory Street Annex in Dallas Texas and there we spent the next couple of hours documenting two very sweet newlyweds. After a wedding, I love setting aside time to photograph the new married couple. Its a time to take it all in and they realize….”WE ARE MARRIED!”. Its very romantic and sweet. I was ecstatic to be able to spend this time with Jamie and Beau…they were beaming with joy! After our time together, the couple was off to enjoy a relaxing honeymoon as newlyweds.

Kristin & Joseph


Check out www.loveandlavendar.com, they featured the beautiful wedding of Kristin and Joseph's, designed by Couture Events by Lottie. (See below)

We really love this wedding. The bride put together a really beautiful event with help from Couture Events by Lottie. Here is what they had to say about Kristin and Joseph’s special day: I am creating a new word for this wedding… earthchic. :) While Kristin loved textures like burlap, she still loved the frilly feel of ruffles. And while she adores moss, she still loves a clean and chic look. We really worked earthy elements into the wedding without going overkill and still keeping a classy appeal. There were so many beautiful details including an heirloom brooch bouquet by Red Sole Events, coloring station for the kiddos, props for the guests’ amusement, mismatched vintage china by Rent My Dust, personalized cd favors, a wishing tree, adorable programs by Southern Fried Paper, an elaborate treat spread by Legacy Cakes Grapevine, a super romantic bridal cake by Sugar Bee Sweets and one super cool ring bearer. It was such a wonderful day! We are lucky and blessed to know this couple and their beautiful family!
