Emily and Justin

Beautiful and romantic hardly describe this fantastic wedding. Emily and Justin transformed the Annex to look right out of magazine from the 1940's era. The gorgeous florals, furniture and decor were are done by Bella Flora. The precious cake and desert bar provided by Sugar Bee Sweets, gave the guests unforgettable treats. The Paul Salos band kept the guests dancing. Not one person went home hungry thanks to Gil's Elegant Catering. All of this could not of been possible without the detailed coordination from Stacy Amerson!

A special Thank you to Lindsey & Beto Photography!

Big News for Perez Photography!

We just received the following email from one of our favorite photographers and wanted to share the great news....



Hi everyone!

We wanted to share our big news with the people we love working with! The Perez team is growing and we are incredibly thankful for this! We have added a new associate photographer to our team and are so super excited to share this news with all of you. We realized we wanted to keep shooting together as a team and that there was an opportunity for growth while ensuring the same service was still provided. Valerie Valdez has been shooting weddings on her own for quite a few years now and is such a perfect fit to our team and style. She is incredibly hard working, passionate, committed, and overall just an awesome person to be around. What’s even cooler is that her permanent second shooter is Yen Nguyen who trained with us for over a year and knows exactly how we work!

If you know of anyone still looking for a photographer... be sure to check her out! Associate Photographer pricing begins at $2,500 and all packages include Valerie + Yen.

Thank you!

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.
