So…my name is Stephanie, not Eden ;)

Eden Grey is just the name for my company. It was inspired by my first trip to Australia. It never occurred to me that people would think that was my name. Plus, I'm just not that cool!

I'm a major animal lover. We have two boxers. We had a full wolf pack up until two years ago when our older two boxers, Hans and Bear passed away. Now it's just Eva & Brixxton. I'm hoping to rescue another couple of babies soon, just trying to give the two younger babies their time together.

I *LOVE* traveling. I'm a foodie, but also love the way I feel when I'm carrying on a healthy lifestyle, but at the moment food is winning. I love beer. Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. (I didn't come up with that).

Favorite places & things: Anthropologie (duh), coffee, anything sparkly, making people smile, laughing and making myself laugh (only child thing).

I'm not as interested in how he/she proposed as I am what your favorite things to do together are. I want to dig a little deeper and be able to really pull out your personalities in your pictures. I want you to see the images and say 'Wow-she totally gets us'.

So let's do this.

Caroline & Craig ~ Denton, Tx Wedding Photographer

Caroline was referred to me from Christine, another one of my brides this year, thanks C! Tucked away in the town of Denton, Texas is a cozy little Eurpoean inspired bed & breakfast called The Wildwood Inn. It’s a beautiful place with friendly staff, beautiful rooms, gorgeous scenery, mouth watering food (the Beef Wellington is to DIE for!!), and fabulous peach tea. Major props to Kendra, the wedding coordinator. This is where Caroline and Craig decided to have friends and family witness their vows to one another until death do them part.

This wedding was a little different for me because I had never met the bride face to face until the day of the wedding. She lives in North Texas and I’m flattered that she felt comfortable enough with me by just seeing my work. That’s a huge compliment-and it involves a lot of trust. I could not have asked for a more laid back couple. They were kind, accommodating & the bride kept asking ME if I was ok, if I had eaten, etc. LOL…Caroline, you are too sweet for words. I thank you for all of that. You are truly a gem.

The thing that I like about shooting weddings is that they all have something different to appreciate about them. Craig and Caroline ABSOLUTELY incorporated their own style in this wedding. They took personal items that meant something to them and used them in their special day. The wedding took place two days before Halloween, so the couple had the place decorated with pumpkins, oranges and fall colors, complete with candy corn and a fairy cake topper! The band was the perfect compliment to this wedding, an Irish band of sorts. The music they played was relaxing, fun feeling and a bit of what you would hear at the Texas Ren Fest. Everything about this wedding was sweet, perfectly flowing and above all, REAL. You can see the conviction these two have to each other, the way they look at each other and the loving things they say to each other.
