The Theme

Until planning this styled shoot, I didn’t think bringing this level of destination wedding beauty to the Midwest was possible. Would you believe all this tropical vibrant wedding romance took place 30 minutes south of Dallas, TX? As a Dallas wedding photographer, I’ll admit I sometimes find myself craving destination weddings or at least locations with a little more exciting landscapes, views, etc. It’s a pleasant surprise to come across such great DFW venues like The Dallas Oasis that give you the feeling you’re somewhere tropical. 

This shoot was so much fun. I mean I love color and this shoot had literally ALL of it. I always stress to my clients that it is YOUR wedding and that you can and absolutely should do whatever makes you and your partner happiest. Who said you have to choose just a few wedding colors? Why can’t your décor include fruits? Who said you had to wear a traditional suit? If bold colors, tropical fruits, and a beautifully vibrant custom maroon suit bring your wedding dreams to life- please do it.

Take this gallery as a perfect example of thinking outside the box and packing a punch of tropical passion on your wedding day.
