Geny + Libin | Hilton Garden Inn Dallas in Lewisville, Texas

Geny and Libin’s ceremony gracefully unfolded into a breathtaking celebration of unity and culture in Richardson, Texas. Their holy matrimony was nothing short of magical. The day was filled with cherished traditions, heartfelt moments, and joyous festivities. As their wedding photographer and videographer, I was truly honored to capture every precious moment. From their enchanting bubble exit to the electrifying dance floor, every detail of their day radiated pure joy.

Ceremony at St Philopateer Coptic Orthodox Church:

The grand St Philopateer Coptic Orthodox Church in Richardson provided a stunning backdrop for Geny and Libin’s union. The vibrant colors of the church surrounded the couple as they exchanged vows and were surrounded by loved ones. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation as drums echoed outside, signaling the beginning of their new journey together. In addition, the bubble exit was a whimsical touch, which added a playful element to their otherwise solemn ceremony.

Reception at Hilton Garden Inn Dallas Lewisville:

The festivities continued at the elegant Hilton Garden Inn Dallas Lewisville, where Geny and Libin’s reception opened in grandeur. Their grand entrance was a sight to behold. They were accompanied by their family and friends from the wedding party, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. The venue sparkled with laughter and love as guests gathered to celebrate the newlyweds.

Traditions:

A highlight of the reception was the traditional milk ceremony, a heartfelt tribute to the couple’s cultural heritage. As Geny and Libin took the stage, their mothers lovingly served them milk. The mother of the groom served the bride as the mother of the bride served the groom. This symbolizes each mother welcoming their new child into the family with this sign of nourishment. It was a touching moment that underscored the significance of family and tradition in their union.

First Dance and Dancing on Clouds:

Libin’s dance with his mother, followed by his dance with Geny, was a mesmerizing display of love and emotion. The dance floor transformed into a dreamlike setting as the couple danced on clouds, with Libin lifting his bride in a graceful motion. Their first dance culminated in a tender kiss and a dramatic dip, leaving guests in awe of their love and chemistry.

Second Grand Entrance in Golden Indian Attire:

As the evening progressed, Geny and Libin made a second grand entrance, adorned in stunning golden Indian attire. The guests erupted into cheers and applause, welcoming the couple with open arms. Before joining the festivities indoors, the couple paused for sparkler photos outside with their wedding party, creating magical moments that would be cherished forever.

Joyous Celebrations with Family and Friends:

Throughout the night, family and friends from Detroit and Dallas came together to celebrate Geny and Libin’s union with lively dances and heartfelt performances. Even the bride and groom joined in, adding to the joy and laughter that filled the air. It was a testament to the love and support that surrounded the couple as they embarked on this new chapter of their lives together.

Conclusion:

Geny and Libin’s wedding day was a beautiful tapestry of love, tradition, and celebration. From the sacred rituals of their ceremony to the joyous festivities of their reception, every moment was infused with meaning and magic. As their photographer, I feel privileged to have been a part of their special day, capturing memories that will be treasured for a lifetime. Cheers to Geny and Libin! May your love continue to shine brightly as you journey through life together.

Joshua + Alyssa | Rustic Grace Estate Van Alstyne, TX

Joshua and Alyssa got married at Rustic Grace Estate, which is a charming white chapel in Van Alstyne, TX with a bright red barn. It was such a fun wedding and the sun shone all day long! Skys the Limit Production had the honor of capturing their union with both video and photography.

The couple

Bride and Groom Portrait at Rustic Grace Estate

Joshua wore navy suit with a goldish tie. Alyssa wore a long lacy dress that created a train. Every piece of jewelry had a meaning behind the women in Alyssa’s family; besides the rings her groom provided for her of course! They both looked perfect.

Before the ceremony, Joshua’s mother dressed them both in a traditional hanbok. We took photos inside the chapel as well as adding a little bit of their humorous personality. There’s a swing beside the chapel where Alyssa pushed her gleefully groom on the swing.

Getting hitched

The ceremony was an intimate affair in a stunning chapel. During the ceremony They prayed and took communion. It was really beautiful.

They decorated the area with simple floral, which I loved. The reception was in the barn at Rustic Grace Estate – there were so many great opportunities for portraits. Weddings at Rustic Grace Estate are amazing, because the grounds are brilliant.

The party

The couple had a variety of pies in the afternoon, and a DJ playing music in the evening. It was such a sweet moment to witness the parents’ dance. After the mother son dance as well as the daddy daughter dance, the couple had their other parent join them on the dance floor. All three couples danced together. For dinner they had proper wedding grub, and the first dance gave the couple a chance to show off their dance moves. They finished off the evening with a parade of bubble exit.

The bridal suite is located on top of the groom’s suite. Though my couple did not do this, this creates a perfect opportunity to do a “first touch” with the couple at the staircase; bride being at the top and groom being at the bottom.

“Sarah was incredible!!! My husband and I loved having her and her team shooting our wedding. We got married on Thursday and already have wedding teaser photos by Monday! I am in awe at the beauty she was able to capture and cannot wait to see everything else! She was able to move dates for me due to COVID and took every request and met it!”- Alyssa
