Kanon :: Unbridaled
Kanon completely embodies the made up word I love so much: “unbridaled”. She is a beautiful bohemian bride from Texas who currently lives in France with her fiance, Guillaume. Worldly and even otherworldly, Kanon is the free spirited type who can easily light up a room/make an instant friend/get out of trouble with a wink. She’s the type of chick most girls wish they could be. Effortlessly charming…that’s Kanon! (I’ve heard she gets it from BOTH of her parents!)
Kanon will marry Guillaume in a couple of weeks, but until then, enjoy these frames from a fun morning in Fort Worth during which we dodged a rainstorm, took over a hot dog stand, and jaywalked with the best of ‘em.
Ohmigawd. Are you kidding me? How gorgeous is she? How French is the image?
Wassup, dog? =)
Just darling, isn’t she?
Love it!
Kanon has got that French thing down.
This makes me miss France. A LOT.
Kanon (and mom Terry!), it was an absolute blast playing with you out in the streets of Downtown Fort Worth!
Can’t wait till the 15th!!!
Love It!!! I can’t wait for this wedding –all my favorite people in one place!
OHHHHH - MAGOSH! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Thank you for making my sister feel so special…they had a blast with you and none of us can hardly stand the wait to August 15!!!
how ever did you find the corset shop..love it. and that dress…love it.
Candice :: Unbridaled
Candice and Chris are hitched, so while I am working on their images, I thought I would show you the Unbridaled session I have had hidden away for a couple of months. We met up at Chris’ grandmother’s house to continue the family tradition of using that environment for bridal sessions. Every nook and cranny was gorgeous, as was Candice!
Sure, she is stunning here, but I can’t wait to show you how radiant and full of smiles she was on the actual wedding day!
Favorite!
Two more favorites!
Sorry…I am cheating. One more favorite, please!
Bee. Yoo. Tee. Full.
These images should be in a magazine Kate! She is gorgeous! Your use of the natural light and surroundings is amazing! Love Love Love them all!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the last two and the second rock wall picture…definately my favs!!! I finally let Chris see them too…and the response was WOW!! Chris and I can’t wait to see the wedding pics, especially the “pre-reception” ones ;)…eeek I’m so excited…we know they will be wonderful! XOXO
[…] these two crazy kids FINALLY (after 47 years…ok…maybe not that long) make it official. Candice was incredibly gorgeous, as usual, and Chris was dapper yet absolutely hilarious. I had so much fun working with them as well as […]
Lauren :: Unbridaled
Lauren is one of the coolest chicks I know. There has got to be only a handful of girls in the world who can possibly know which Vogue editorial spread from WELL over a year ago that I am referring to in a conversation and recall specific details back to me. Amazing, really. Lauren continues to blow me away. Showing up at our session several weeks ago, this chica came ready to rock it with gorgeous accessories and a rad attitude. I said “rad”, folks. Not “bad”. Though maybe I could have meant “bad” in the good way, if you want to take a trip back to the 1980s. It’s your call.
So loving those specs.
Pump it up, lady!
Are you cereal? How freakin’ cute is she? I adore this chica!
One gorgeous bride for sale! (Just kidding, Daniel.)
These next 2 sets are my favorites. I love everything about these images!

flipping fabulous! don’t ya just love library shoots? love love love the pics. 
Lauren….you ARE rad! So great to “see you” again in this fab-u-lous unbridaled session. You are absolutely gorgeous, and Kate you captured it all!!! Love it!!!
These are so fabulous! You have such a distinctive style Kate: Funky + Quirky + Eclectic Elegance. Just like YOU, come to think of it!
Love these! Love the glasses! Love the antiques. FABULOUS work Kate!!!
wowee. these are so fashion/chic and SOO you, Miss Kate Fabulous!
Holly :: Unbridaled!
Holly and I go way back. We met at TCU the first day we both joined our sorority and have been tight ever since. She is just that kind of friend that you can totally count on and totally be yourself around and she’ll still love you. Plus, she was the one responsible for getting Bobby and I together, so I owe her a ton. She’s also Millie’s “Aunt”, and a great one at that. Her warmth and sense of humor draw everyone in…especially her super cool fiance, Nathan.
They are getting hitched this weekend, and I am photographing it all! I can’t wait for this shindig…I am ecstatic it is finally here! To mark the occasion, we did an Unbridaled sesh a couple of weeks ago, complete with multiple accessories and an adorable little ballerina. What a blast it was, and Holly was workin’ it!
Holly’s dad is an exec at John Deere, so we just died when we found this gem.
Doesn’t Holly look mah-ve-lous?!
Stunning…I love this set!
The cutest. Ever.
Except this little number might even be cuter. Just maybe.
Hello, Hot Stuff!
Just freakin’ gorgeous!
Thanks for the fantabulous session, Holly, and I can’t wait till Saturday!!!
thanks so much Kate! I especially love the ones of me and Millie, she will be an adorable flower girl!
OMG!!!!! Those are absolutely gorgeous!!! I loved starting at the very beginning….Holly you are so beautiful. Then, I see Mills and Holly….and then, Whoa! Holly! You are EXQUISITE!!! Kate…these are so fab!!! Can’t wait for this wedding weekend!!!
You look GORGEOUS, Holly!!! Beautiful pictures, Kate!
Hot mama! Holly you look fabulous and Kate great as always!
Love the pics with the John Deer and the Antique Shop…
Holly we are sooo happy for you! Thanks for helping Bobby make the best decision of his life!
Great job, Kate. Pete and Lyn
BEAUTIFUL! I am so glad we get to do Holly’s amazing flowers and so glad that you are shooting this wedding, Kate!
[…] Kel came down from Connecticut for Holly’s wedding, and she wanted me to photograph the E-man. We had a blast chasing him all over and […]
[…] the day Holly and Nathan got married…No one who was present will EVER forget it. It was a memory beyond […]
Elaine :: Unbridaled
Somehow, Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway morphed and turned into one of my clients. Crazy, right? True story. Just look below.
Really, her name is Elaine, and she and her sweet fiance, Adam, are getting hitched this summer in the Outer Banks in North Carolina. On the beach. I can’t wait!!! We had so much fun frolicking around Dallas last Thursday, and I am super proud of the images that came from our adventure. I am especially proud knowing that I tripped on trolley tracks on McKinney Avenue in Uptown Dallas, bloodied my knees, and cracked one of my favorite ($$$) lenses BEFORE I EVEN TOOK A SINGLE PICTURE. I guess that line that I always told my parents to get them off my back when I was up against a paper/test/project deadline was true…I really do work better under pressure! I’m actually NOT full of b.s.! 
Insanely gorgeous!
So cute. He was slightly confused about what we were doing, but he loved her anyway.
Favorite!
Another favorite!
If she gets any more adorable, I might freak out.
Isn’t that light delish?
Gotta love street vendors.
Elaine is precious!
And, she’s done.
Can’t wait till your engagements in a couple of months, Elaine! Thanks for being a trooper!
Fun sesh, girlfriend!
Awesome!! I wish I could convince someone to do that kind of session!! fun times!
It is INSANELY weird how much she looks like both Angelina and Anne. Beautiful pictures!
Elaine is a good friend of mine and SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! You did an amazing job on her pics. I will have to keep you in mind!
Kate these are all great! 4 is my fav.
I love them!! Kate, you are such an ARTIST! You really captured me well. All the things you said would turn out well, you were so right! It was an adventure and I still can’t get that image of you falling out of my mind. You just jumped right up dusted yourself off and got back in the zone! Amazing!
I love you for what you did with me in these pictures. I can’t wait till our next adventure! No more falling please.
Love, Elaine Jolie-Hathaway
You trooper! It could have been worse, think if a trolley was coming! Amazing photos!
Killer Kate! #4 is my favorite as well. Love the ‘juxtaposition’ of the gorgeous bride and people on the trolley. Very nice.
great work Kate. I absolutely love the spiral staircase image.
Great job, Kate!
don’t ya just love taking pictures? we have the best job EVER!
love the pics. my absolute fave is the one where she’s sitting between all the people
great job Kate
LOVE the last 6 pictures!!!!!!
they are super~duper~great!!!!!
You are beautiful, and you look way prettier than Jolie, with eyes like Hathaway! They are very artistic and pretty “Kool” on the Trolley! Can’t wait for more pics. Love you babe!
Yes, she’s beautiful — but I’m kinda prejudiced. And I can promise you, on the inside, she’s even more beautiful than she appears in these pictures! Her whole family is so proud of her!
At first I was upset when I saw that your wedding was gonna be in NC, but then I remembered you’re marrying a yankee bastard so you had to meet half way and just piss everyone off. Seems fair, wish I could be there though
Absolutely beautiful !! You picked a great photographer too !
and Adam, I didn’t mean anything personal by the yankee bastard comment, I love you man!
Wow…what a beautiful glimpse into your world Elaine.
My favorite is the dandelion picture.
I am very happy for you and feel very blessed to have you in my family.
Love,
Uncle Sam
These pictures are amazing. They are unlike any bridal portraits I have ever seen. She did a great job!
The shot on the bus with the other passengers…Kate, you see “it” !!! Wonderful!
You got a really good eye for the moment, Kate. Good work. Elaine looks stunning. some of the pics look like” late 60,s fashion model” Elaine is beautiful. I might be biased being her bio-dad and all but she didn’t get those genes from me. Hi Yolanda.
Kate, Amazing! I’m so glad you’re able to do one of my good Middle School Friends pics! You two did a great job capturing her! Hope your knee gets to feeling better. LOL!
The first picture and the one where she is behind the old door are my favs! You did a good job and Elaine is super cute and beautiful as always! I know her from school and she is going to be a beautiful bride!
[…] beautiful bride whose session was so unbridaled that I busted my knees and broke a lens on some trolley tracks…that would be Elaine. My […]
Wesley :: Unbridaled
My favorite Unbridaled session yet. ‘Nuff said. Every picture is a favorite. The girl’s a rock star, a newlywed (just photographed her fabulous wedding over the weekend in Austin), and my new friend. Wesley is beyond vivacious and completely lights up a room. To top it off, she has a heart of gold. I have been DYING to put these images on the blog since the day I shot them, and now that her big day is over, I am letting the cat out of the bag. Me-frickin’-ow.
Love her!
She is so cute! Those look great. I especially love the ones under the silhouettes!
Oh my gosh, Kate! These are amazing! Thanks for doing such an amazing job this weekend with Wes’ wedding! I can’t wait to see the wedding pics! xoxo, Jessica (Wes’ older sis)
Kate, you and Wesley are the gas and the match!!! Spontaneity, laughter, emotion, beauty….you captured it all with your photographic flair. What an amazing artist you are….WOW!!!
You go, girlfren….!!!!
These pictures are fantastic! You look like a model in a magazine.
These are beautiful! The one through the window is a stunner!!!
beautiful!
OOOOHHHHHHH- EMMMMMMMMMMM- GEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (OMG)! Seriously?!?! The one of her jumping on the bed?! so so so so so so so so great!
Natalie :: Unbridaled
This girl radiates energy from head to toe. Natalie is such a vivacious girl, and it was a joy to get to photograph her. She’s sassy, has divine taste, and isn’t afraid to squeal like a little girl. Gotta love that combo!
Check her out!
She was there. I promise.
Favorite!
Dreaming of her wedding day, which will be posted to the blog in a matter of days. Hang in there!
Show Nat some love with a Holla Back!
Yeah Kate!!! and yeah Natalie. I am so proud of you!
Priceless. Beautiful couple, beautiful wedding. Gifts from God.
Natalie :: Unbridaled (The Shoes)
Since Natalie’s groom, Jay might be watching the blog, we don’t want to give him a sneak peek. I’ll get to show you more after their July 12th wedding, but for now, feast your eyes on these puppies. I LOVE it when brides inject personality into their wedding via shoe selection. LOVE it!
great teaser shot!
Courtney :: Unbridaled
Beeeeee-yoo-tiful, right? These were on the traditional side for me, but I still love ‘em. I think I did pretty well with traditional, don’t you agree?
Agree completely! I especially love the one of her by the wall of leaves.
Tradition just went modern. Beautiful.
Mindy :: Unbridaled
Miss Mindy is gearing up for her big day, that being May 17, 2008. She and Christopher have a wonderfully intimate and meaningful day planned, and it has been so fun hearing about all of the details as they have put all of the pieces together.
Last Sunday, Mindy and her entourage (2 beautiful bmaids + 1 hot hair stylist) met up with me and we tore up the town…well, as much as you can tear it up without actually tearing the dress up. If I do say so myself, this session turned out great!
Their wedding design revolves around reds and oranges, so voila! A red building built JUST for Mindy. Well, you can pretend.
I am just loving these next 4 shots. This is a little detailed wall outside of a dentist’s office.
Ya would have never guessed, would ya?
Hot damn!
Mindy has a very wisecrack-y way about her, which I just love.
What I adore the most though, is when she laughs at herself and crinkles her nose. Super cute!
Taken inside my office building, I think this one has a definite vintage vibe.
Love the reference to the new world she is about to enter!
Thanks so much for a funtastic sesh, Min! See you very soon!
You look absolutely beautiful…or should I say stunning!! Perfect pictures for a perfect girl!
Love ya,
Mom
Girl - you look amazing! Seriously, your hair is gorgeous, you look ‘blushing’ and of course Kate took some awesome pics! Cool, cool, cool! Good luck in a few weeks, we’ve been hearing about the wedding from your mom!
Very cool, You look terrific!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You look GORGEOUS… absolutamente HERMOSA!!! WOW… great pix!
Mindy, you look gorgeous! I hope your day is wonderful. Good luck to you and your future.
Mindy, you look gorgeous! I hope your wedding is beautiful. Good luck to you and your future
You are gorgeous!! These are amazing photos!! Can’t wait for the BIG day! Christopher and Mason and Payton are soooo lucky to have you in their lives - and me, too!
Damn, Kate! Those are stunning. I especially like the last one. What a beautiful bride she is and will be!
(It’s looks so warm in Texas… I am jealous!)
Mindy - your bridal pictures are absolutely breathtaking - they should be in a magazine. You are going to be SUCH a beautiful bride. Can’t wait to hear all about your special day from your very excited mom. Congratulations, Nikki (friend of your mother)
That pic of you giggling…with your nose crinkled up reminds me of the song Bubbly…by Colbie Caillat… love it!!! Love you Min….Mom
Here is the link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PWfB4lurT4&feature=email
Go ahead and say it yourself, Kate.: Great pictures. The red wall is super and the last shot is both clever and apt. If this is what you do with bronchitis, every bride should hope you arrive with a cough.
Mary Ann
well said, mary ann. i agree.
Mindy, your mom posted the link and all I can say is wow! You are gorgeous and so are the pictures. Best wishes to you and your future husband!
Mindy, More people are anticipating your wedding than you know. The engagement photographs were beaurtiful, but these are stunning! Dancing in front of the barn- joy! At the aqua door- amazing! And your Entrance is exquisite! Enjoy these hurried times; you’ll cherish the memories. All our best wishes, Trena, friend of your mom
