We have been to our fair share of weddings, both as a photographers and guests, all unique and gorgeous in their own way.   Clara’s and Rocco’s Dallas wedding reception at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel was definitely one to remember. Hopefully if you were a guest, these images will tell a story—flooding your memory with the love and laughter that outpoured at this classy Dallas wedding. If you are one of our beloved blog followers, I have no doubt you will wish you were invited or had been a party crasher at this reception. Speaking of Party Crashers, one of the nation’s top wedding bands based out of Utah/LA, brought the party all night long. Seriously, these guys were full of energy and downright amazing performers. They even provided us with entertainment in the vendor room over dinner! Bethany Thomas, the event coordinator, of En Pointe Weddings really brought together an all-star team of vendors and her hard work paid off beautifully.

Bella Flora made the room come to life with their luxurious floral design which was complimented perfectly by the purple up-lighting by AVSD Productions. It’s is amazing how much a difference up-lighting makes in the images. If you are contemplating if you need lighting for your event, the answer is YES!

Clara’s dad said in his speech that his and Clara’s favorite thing to do together is laugh.  I can honestly say that these two smiled all night long. I think it’s safe to say they both had the time of their lives.

Did I mention there was an after party on the terrace level? Just because the clock struck midnight did not mean these two were ready for the night to end.  The icing on the cake was complete with late night bites, fried doughnut holes, popcorn, cocktails, cigars, and a photobooth.  It was a perfect day for a beautiful couple.
