Rent My Church will Help Find the Perfect Church For Your Wedding and Events in Texas

I am very excited about this great Wedding and Event resource company in Texas and want to share it with all of my clients. Rentmychurch.com Texas has beautiful churches that many people in the area are familiar with or are members with. Unfortunately they are not always available for the event date or a bride and groom are not members of a church… and the search is on! Searching for a Church is daunting and difficult – take the difficult out and go to Rent My Church. In my experience as a professional wedding photographer, many churches have different allowances for photography for an example I am really happy introduce RMC and share this video.

Their Mission is – Everyone Matters: We believe the church can benefit non-members by opening its doors to the community, which now results in reaching a completely different audience that might not otherwise be reached

The church is a community resource that offers more than a Sunday Service experience. Their goal is to help the church become a resource whose doors are open to welcome non-members. This approach of being a community resource not only showcases your church to an audience who may not have taken a second look at your ministry before finding it on our website. Church rental provides a way for renters that don’t have a church home to not only rent your facility but also gives them a chance to experience community.

Marriage Ceremony: We believe the marriage ceremony is a declaration of love that inspires a couples life together and when those vows are beautifully exchanged within the setting of a church, it further solidifies the sanctity of that union.

Marriage vows are a sacred exchange spoken before family and friends to share in the experience of a couples union. RMC partners with your church to make sure that this sacred ceremony becomes an unforgettable part of the couple’s new life together. Not only do we help with the bride’s selection of the beautiful facility, we can also help with resources for premarital counseling and event planning.

Rockwall Texas Band of Brothers Member Get’s Married – Lakeside Heath Texas Home

Lee Gilbert proposed to Carla Brooks after many years of crossing paths. While attending a weekly Happy Hour for several years with a group of fellow veterans known as the Band of Brothers, Lee finally met Carla. They fell in love over many dates of dancing and realizing how amazing each other hit it off. After two years of dating, Lee proposed to Carla appropriately in font of his “Band of Brothers”. They are now happily married and had an amazing wedding at their home in Heath Texas.

What I found to be the sweetest touch was the First United Methodist Church of Heath had their choir sing during the procession of the ceremony. AMAZING!!! The music that was playing during the night was a DJ that had everyone up and dancing all night long with a great selection of Country, Pop and current top hits from Gus Garza’s company. Their were several phenomenal wedding day vendors that were perfect in every way. Great music, great food -Zachs Cateringand drinks and of course, great friends… The guest list was of 250 people which also included the Heath, TX Mayor Lorne Liechty and Icon Representative Ralph Hall of Rockwall Texas and many wonderful friends and family. This wedding was very laid back and classy at the same time. I was so happy to have a part of this union between two beautiful individuals and their united families.

Dallas Bishop Arts District Engagement Photography Session

Dallas Texas, Bishop Arts District – Engagement Photography Session on a chili day in Texas. Here is the sneak peak of the beautiful Brittany and Domingo. I met Brittany and her kind amazing mom while they interviewed me for Brittany’s upcoming wedding with Domingo. I immediately hit it off with both the bride and her mom and knew we were a great fit for their photography for their big day. I was so excited that Brittany’s family attended the session to help take care of their two little dogs that we had at the engagement session with us. So, of course I had to get them in a couple of the images as well. These guys were playful and adorable with each other and were just so much fun for Relive Photography’s day in Dallas Texas.

Here is a look at the fun we had that day and can’t wait to photograph their upcoming DFW Texas Wedding… Please leave your comments so that we can be voted Best of Dallas Texas Wedding photographer and keep an eye out for Brittany and Domingo’s wedding style

Jessica and Jeff are Married – Destination Wedding Red Lion Inn Cohasset Massachusetts

Jessica and Jeff are Married – Destination Wedding Red Lion Inn Cohasset Massachusetts – Jessica said “The feel/vibe I am going for is a rustic/country feel. From the hydrangeas on the table to the mason jars hanging on the chairs. I love a rustic vibe” They definitely accomplished that vibe. Jessica wore a Pronovias Wedding Gown with Badgley Mischka purple feathered bridal shoes. Stunning!

Their wedding venue – Red Lion Inn is a surprise upon arrival. What looks like a tiny bed and breakfast up front ends up with an amazing spread out back that is shockingly stunning. I would have never known this grand landscape of wedding venue lie behind the front doors. Crazy beautiful. Jeff and Jessica were relaxed and so sweet together as a newly married couple. Their families and friends were heartwarming and made the day become exactly what they were looking for. Great food, great cake (beautiful cake) stunning wedding gown, great purple striped sock for the grooms men and the prettiest bridesmaid gowns! Just perfect.

Here are some images to show the quaint town of Cohasset, the warm rustic feel of Red Lion Inn and the stunning bride and groom.

Their ideal wedding day is sunny weather and to be able to take pictures around the center of Cohasset as well as by the ocean which is a few streets over. They wanted their wedding to be a day that people enjoy themselves and enjoy watching them say their own vowes, dance their first dance, and cut the cake.

Here are the wedding vendors that made this wedding amazing:
L Elite Bridal – Boston
Badgley Mischka Bridal Shoes from Nordstrom

Blue Water Farm Destination Wedding from Dallas Wedding Photographer

Holly and Eddie are married in a rustic themed wedding. Surrounded by Friends, loved ones, and most importantly – each other. Holly and Eddie designed a beautiful sweet and romantic destination wedding at Blue Water Farm in Andover, NH. The weather started off with a hard rain that left a gorgeous fog through the lines of the mountains overlooking a beautiful lake. This was an amazing backdrop for their rustic wedding day. We love all kinds of wedding themes and this one was perfect. Relive Photography was able to be a part of this great destination wedding and is always honored to be such an important part of such a big important time in a bride and grooms life.

A short, sweet, and intimate ceremony surrounded by the people they love most. A fun and relaxed reception (less formal than a typical wedding reception) and lots of dancing! They only wanted people to leave feeling like they really enjoyed themselves and want for the two of them to feel the same! Congratulations Holly and Eddie on a great event.


The following vendors were participants in making this wedding complete:
Blue Water Farms
Jacques Fine European Patries
DJ Jonathan Barbeau

COMMUNITY SERVICE
(This month we have two focuses)
STREAMS AND VALLEYS – a Tarrant County organization that works to keep the Trinity River clean and safe. From their website: “We work on things like keeping the river’s water clean, building new trails, attracting bluebirds and creating master plans that keep all the river’s resources on track. We’ve been doing it since 1971, and 40 miles of trails and 8,000 trees later, we know there’s even more great stuff around the bend” We will be collecting BOTTLED WATER, at the valet entrance for this fantastic organization. If everyone could bring either one gallon or one case of bottled water, it would go a long way in helping Streams and Valleys support their volunteers who help clean up the rivers and parks.

THE FOUNDATION OF NACE – this nonprofit division of NACE works towards enhancing learning and education for NACE members, providing research studies, as well as working with in the community to provide scholarships for students entering our industry. We will be collecting money for the Foundation in our piggy banks to help contribute to their cause.

Alyssa + Joe are Married! Beautiful Wedding Alden Castle Brookline MA

Here is where it began – Groom proposed in New York City’s Central Park- one of the couple’s most favorite places to be. The Bride was clueless- although the couple was in NY celebrating their anniversary/Bride’s birthday/Valentine’s weekend, the Groom threw her off completely. They went iceskating in Central Park, strolled the paths and finally found a great spot- at the top of a hill near a mini-waterfall. It was VERY cold that day, so as they sat on the rock, the Bride put her head on the Groom’s shoulder and the Groom jumped up for fear that the Bride would put her hand in his pocket– where the ring was! The Bride still had no idea what was to come, but the Groom finally went down on one knee and proposed. The Bride, while still in shock, said YES and now a year later, they got Married! Where? Alden Castle in Brookline MA – With Who? Amazing friends and family Why? Because of their obvious love!

The celebration was filled with vintage style wedding details everywhere. Alyssa is very talented and put together many of the unique details to be sure that her touch was throughout. She alone was stunning and she created a stunning event as well. Alyssa and Joe exude love… Joe was amazing at speaking to everyone about his clear admiration for his new bride. I often cry at weddings when I am touched by a couple and this was certainly one of those days. (I am so happy to be hidden behind my camera on these occasions-lol) I am so proud to have been a part of this beautiful day and event. Here is a sneak peak of images of their day. Also to follow are the great vendors that took part in creating a sweet affair.
