    5/14/13: Prayers Needed This Week: If you could stop for just a moment and say a prayer for my grandfather, Ralph Rogers, it would mean the world to us. He had a heart attack this week and will be having open heart surgery on Thursday morning. We know many of you who read our blog would absolutely pray for him, and that's what we're counting on. Thank you so much!

    Congratulations, Newly Engaged Lovelies!! Yay! It seems like everyone is getting engaged lately, and we are very excited to start hearing from all of you who are new "fiancés"! Just as a reminder: If you have previously contacted us about a date, we only hold dates with the contract and wedding deposit. The first person who submits their contract and deposit will receive that date. We aren't able to keep up with the status of each inquiry and only record our booked weddings when it comes to holding dates, so please keep this in mind so that you can get the photographer you want (This would be us. Obviously ;).

    Like Our Facebook Page! It'll make us feel validated.

    2013/2014 Weddings: now! We REALLY want to be your photographers {ESPECIALLY if you read our blog}. We are booking weddings at an average of a year to a year-and-a-half in advance right now, but we DO still have upcoming openings that are sooner than a year away (definitely contact us, even if your wedding is sooner than a year away!). Remember: we won't tell if you don't have the ring yet. Heehee....

    PSSST! One more lil' bit of exciting news: "Aves Photography" is now going to be our name for real! We have secured the domain name we've been kiiiind-of stalking for several years, and this enables us to fully change over to Aves Photography (our unofficial name since we moved to Camp Bowie a couple of years ago). Our new website to match the new domain is coming SOOOOON (yes, we know it is blank right now. We keep hoping that we'll just finish the new website and put it up all new and fresh))!! We think you'll like it...it is ALLLLMOST ready...

    Hello there.

    Thank you for visiting our blog. I am Lauren Aves, and my husband Will and I are Aves Photographic Design. About two years ago (what?!? Not sure how that happened so fast), we moved our studio to 4909 Camp Bowie Blvd in Fort Worth, TX, (soon after which our photography business sort-of exploded; yay! This is only thanks to our God and Savior for giving us EVERYTHING; it's so obvious-how could I not state it before?), and we love our home in Dallas/Fort Worth.

    Contact us if you have any questions at all. We love new ideas, and we are so blessed to be able to work with people who really "get" the kind of work we do. We can't wait to meet you. Thank you all for this enormous blessing, and stay beautiful! Lauren and Will

    Now scroll down for the REAL stories! Bookmark us and check back often.

    Portrait Availability: Due to our weekend wedding schedule, we only accept portrait sessions on weekdays. We keep all upcoming weekends open for weddings and the events that surround them. Our portrait schedule books up at around 4-8 weeks out (further in advance for popular portrait times of the year), so we recommend that you schedule your session as soon as you have decided you would like us as your photographers in order to have the best selection of dates.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Moms are the BEST. They celebrate our victories. Our most important days. And they are there for our unforgettable moments.

We’d like to say thank you to our moms today. You have been there for us through the good and the bad. You have hugged us until we cried. You have prayed for us. You have calmed us. And most importantly, you have loved us.

Here are some images that show how much. Thank you.

Love,

Your Daughters.

All I Want Forever Is You. Alli and Stephen’s Wedding.

{When reading this story, see if it reminds you of the beginnings of your love. It so reminded me of mine…}

Omni Hotel Fort Worth Weddings Omni Hotel Getting Ready Pictures Bridal Suite Robert Carr Chapel TCU Holiday Wedding Ideas All I Want For Christmas is You0001 All I Want Forever Is You. Alli and Stephens Wedding.

Their Beginnings.

{From Alli’s point of view}

The first time she saw him, she was eleven years old.  “I don’t remember the first time we met, but I will never forget the first time I saw him,” Alli said. “He was playing basketball in the school gymnasium and I instantly developed a crush.”

Fast forward to her Freshman year in high school. Alli and Stephen took a theater class together, and right before getting out for the summer break he asked for her phone number (“so we could ‘keep up over the break’, of course”). She casually gave it to him, her heart jumping inside of her chest as if it were about to explode into a million pieces.

He probably didn’t know her secret, right?

They talked every night that summer. Her feelings built, but she didn’t let on that she liked him because she wasn’t sure if he felt the same way. So they continued the “friends” charade for quite a few months (“He instantly became my greatest friend, the person that I can, to this day, laugh with the most and tell anything”). But despite pretending to be “just friends”, each time she saw his name on the Caller ID her heart did a little dance and she couldn’t keep the smile from erupting all over her face. She maaaay have even jumped around the house and squealed; I’m not sure…

So it was pretty clear to her that he should show up on her doorstep and ask her out. Any day now. But it was several months later before finally, at her sixteenth birthday party, he told her that he liked her.

And that was when it began.

They dated for the next year and three months, and when the time came for Stephen to leave for college, they split up. “We had been praying about what to do for when he left for A&M, since I would only be a junior in high school. As painful as it was, God made it clear within the first week that he was gone, a long distance relationship was not what He had planned for us. It was awful, but we both knew we had to do it, so we called the relationship off together.”

Two and a half years went by. Every day they were apart Alli missed him, and every day she thought about him. Wishing that they could somehow be brought back together.

__________________________

{This was where God came into the picture. Well, He had always been there, but this was when it became obvious that He had a larger plan for Alli and Stephen.}

Alli knew she couldn’t help feeling this way about him. He had her heart, and something (or Someone) had kept her thoughts with him the entire time. The strong pull she felt toward him never left her. Never faded. It had always been there. And it wasn’t going away.

They hadn’t talked during that entire time period apart, and seeing him was tough. They each assumed that the other was over it. With all of the sadness that accompanied losing their relationship, she was ready to move on from this stage and knew she needed direction from God. With some of her friends and family, she began praying that either God would bring them back together or change her heart entirely.

Only one month later (“after a chain of different, major “God things”), there was a knock at her dorm’s door. She opened it and was surprised to see Stephen:

“He showed up at my dorm and said he didn’t want to spend the rest of his life without me. We set aside three months to “re-get to know each other,” pray and seek council about exclusively dating again.”

On May 1, 2010, they went on their second first date.

On December 14, 2011, he asked her to be his wife.

Almost exactly one year after that, they were married. As they looked into each other’s eyes up on that altar, they promised with all of their hearts that they would never separate again.

__________________________

This was their wedding day. Wrapped up in a package and given to them as one of the biggest gifts they’d ever receive.

Today, a lifetime of prayers would be answered and a lifetime of hopes and dreams would be fulfilled.

Alli and her bridesmaids and parents gathered at the Omni in Fort Worth to get ready for the day. The room was filled with a palpable excitement.

Alli sat overlooking Downtown and tried not to get too nervous. This day was finally here.

If Alli needed any help getting excited, her bridesmaids were there for that.

She slipped into her dress quietly in the next room.

One cute idea I really wanted to be sure and share was the “Meet the Bridesmaids” and “Meet the Groomsmen” tables that were set up outside the ballroom at the Omni. Each framed photograph held a description of how they knew the bride and groom along with what made each wedding party member special to Alli and Stephen.

What is Stephen thinking here? That he’s having the best day of his life? I think so.

Is Alli? I’m pretty sure she is.

So many toasts with heartfelt messages for the Bride and Groom, and they started with Alli’s parents.

They couldn’t be happier for the person she had chosen as her husband (or really, the person God had chosen for her).

Stephen then proved his awesomeness by taking the microphone himself and saying sweet things about his bride.

And now for my FAVORITES part of the entire day, the BEST SONG IN THE ENTIRE WORLD came on, and Santa hats started being passed around. Santa hat pandemonium ensued as everyone (and I do mean everyone!) jumped around and sang along to Mariah.

Like I said, Best. Thing. Ever.

They then kept the Santa hats on. For good reason. I mean, they were awesome.

In fact, I think everyone should get them back out right now and wear them as they read this. Just to remind themselves of what an awesome moment it was.

When Alli used to hear this song, she’d think of Stephen. But instead of “All I Want For Christmas is You,” it really should have been “All I Want Forever is You.”

Now it was.

I love our Texas “Destination” weddings so much!! This one was held at Lantana Resort and Marina in Pilot Point, TX. We LOVED the location and the wonderful calmness that the outdoors and the lake brought that day.

But my FAVORITE part was THIS:

…And then there were all of the beautifully put together details. They couldn’t have been more perfect.

I must also mention that Dallas and Josh had the best vendor team IN the world. We’ll go into all of them when we post the full blog post {coming up soon}, but in the meantime, here are the ones that were pertinent to the pics in this post so that you can start browsing their websites to get ideas…

Precisely as Planned; Rhonda Baker (YEEEEE! BEST DECISION EVER)

Randy Ro Entertainment (is FANTABULOUS. Duh. Fireworks and music = best moment EVER TO HAVE AT A WEDDING)

Pyrotex (AHHHH!! LOVE. WILL YOU HIRE ME??)

And the AMAZING florals: Antebellum Design and Event Company

You officially have my permission. Go on, young fawns. Be free with the mouse and scrollbar until you’ve had your wedding fill (how can that ever happen??).

PS-Sorry about all of the capital letters! I just get so EXCITED about pretty weddings and love our favorite vendors who do such amazing work! I’ll try harder next time to keep them to a bare minimum.

Haha. Yeah, right.
