Treva Tribit Photography – Dallas – Philadelphia – Tampa – Santa Barbara bio picture

Welcome to Treva Tribit Photography!

Hi! I'm Treva, a professional photographer from North Dallas who specializes in capturing weddings. However, if you've followed my blog you know it clearly doesn't end there. As you will quickly learn, my primary passion is my walk with our Savior Jesus Christ and without Him I firmly believe none of this, my talents, my life, or anything around me would be possible. I feel so entirely blessed by the talents and the people that He has put in my life.

As a photographer, I believe a photographer should be able to capture the essence of anything, whether it be landscapes, families, children, details or anything in between. My camera is merely a tool to help me capture what I see, the entire world a canvas, and my clients give me the inspiration to carry out the creative visions they invoke. Whether it be the dreamy eyed gazed between two lovers, or a rambunctious toddler staring down the lens, or the tender moments between parents and their newborn...you bring it, and I will capture it. It's my joy, my passion, and it would be my pleasure to work with you. Join me on this adventure! Thank you for stopping by.

Married: Melanie and Alan (Sneak peek!)

They opted to see each other, and pray, before the festivities began… a “first look” that allowed them an intimate, peaceful moment before the fun began.  She held her breath, it was visible to me… and at the end of the long church aisle she stood waiting, anticipating, holding tightly to her beautiful bouquet.  The entire church was in absolute silence, as if the memories of unions past and future met in reverence, as if God gave a sweet and holy hush to this moment…her eyes opened..not a sound but she moved forward, slower, then faster as her dress swish, swish, swished quietly…she walked down the aisle and his eyes followed her every move, both looking into each other realizing the brevity of the moment.  Their hands finally met, and they stood silently looking into each others eyes, as the light streamed into the room from the window, at the front of the aisle where they would soon become man and wife.  It was one of few times we truly felt we were there, but not.  Our presence was unnecessary, and unnoticed, but for the moments we can now share with Melanie and Alan, and the world.  It was beautiful, and as we left, they began to pray over the ceremony that would begin, and their new marriage that was about to start.

The wedding was full of love, and God was so present and visible throughout the ceremony.  Melanie request praise and worship songs be sung and we did.  The mood was joyous, the love flowed over, not just for one another, but for our Heavenly Father.  It was, lovely.

There were many amazing vendors that had a part in this special day…

James Bond, of Diamond Oaks Country Club provided a fabulous place for the reception, overlooking gorgeous trees and a golf course with huge windows, it was beautifully picturesque.  Birdville Baptist Church provided a grand and lovely place for the ceremony, while associate Pastor Brian Watson beautifully officiated.

Ocone’s dress shop in Fort Worth is where the bridal gown, the bridesmaid’s dress, and the flower girl’s dress, Al’s Formal Wear provided the tuxedo’s, Bice’s Florist created the flower arrangements, as well as Doris Rodriguez, a very talented lady indeed!  The DJ services were expertly provided by Mike Long.  Chris Swinney led the worship during the ceremony.

Donna Sagebiel created the gorgeous bridal cake, and Lee’s Creek Grocery baked the delicious grooms cake.

Congratulations Melanie & Alan and your beautiful families!

Married: Tiffany and Patrick Wedding (sneak peek!)

She closed her eyes, and I could see her bouquet tremble just a little, her arm wrapped through her father’s.  But I knew it was excitment, not nervousness that hung in the air as she reached down to straighten her dress.  A sparkle lit in her eyes, but this was nothing new, I had seen it the day before when we sat in their living room and in her relaxed, confident way, she described the wedding day events that were to unfold.  Patrick does that to her.  It is incredibly obvious when he is around, Tiffany feels happier.  Safer, and loved.  And Patrick doesn’t take his eyes off his bride, touching her hand, holding her close, his care for Tiffany, Alexia and Anthony clearly carries them filling their home, and their lives.  And they are better people for having each other, you can just tell.  One of the many reasons we had such a blast photographing this wedding…how can you not feel blessed when a love is so big, it fills the room?

Many thanks to The Chateau for the delicious food, the insanely HUGE dessert bar, and how they kept the pace moving throughout the night.  Most of all, thank you Patrick and Tiffany for letting us share this day with you, for being so much fun, and because we expect to go out for a drink when we are up in Philly next!

Congratulations to you both and to your families!

Senior: Tori (and sister Jackie!) – sneak peek!

To say that these two have a special place in my heart, would be a drastic understatement.  Both Tori and Jackie, babysit our precious munchkins on a very regular basis.  Besides being top of their classes, besides being incredibly responsible, GOOD human beings, they are intelligent in the world of common sense, something you don’t always use to describe a teenager. :)   Wow, have their mom and dad done a spectacular job with them…and both are dancers.  Its in their blood really, their mom owns Cindys School of Dance where my little Kaylee will be attending and taking ballet in the Fall.   Tori had no qualms about sharing her senior shoot spotlight with her younger sister, in fact, I don’t know if I have seen two sisters who get along as well as they do, and even when the other isn’t around, they speak so highly of one another, you can only believe that these parents have done an amazing job, and these two are just amazing girls.

Congratulations Tori, I truly believe there is no limit to what you can and will do in this world.  Use all those smarts for good, not evil ;)

Day After Shoot: Tiffany & Patrick

So, this is a little “cart before the horse” *ish* but sometimes around here, that is just.how.we.roll.  :)   Especially lately.  I feel like I’m poppin’ all over the place in random chaos, editing four weddings, a senior shoot, working on marketing, ordering prints, booking more weddings for the Fall, I mean seriously, somebody stop me! Not really, I’d probably tackle you if you tried, but I have to say that this day after shoot was a little slice of HEAVEN!  Like the very first bite of a  creamy delicious piece of lemon cream pie, I wanted to eat up every second of this shoot.  Everywhere I turned it was a feast for the eye (a feast of lemon cream pie)!

While their wedding is still being processed, I finished the day after shoot, and so it is gracing the blog before the actual wedding pictures.  Like dessert before dinner.  Consider it a treat. ;)

We headed down to Boathouse Row in Philadelphia early in the morning (early for us anyway) and went straight to the spot that Patrick asked Tiffany to marry him.  Right smack in the middle of that DELICIOUSLY beautiful columned gazebo overlooking boathouse row, just at the bottom of a cliff area with the Philadelphia Art Museum looming above us…I was not only giving Patrick props on finding an amazing place to ask his (now) Bride to marry him, but how did he know it would make our hearts go pitter patter when it came time to get these gorgeous shots?  I’m sure he was thinking of us when he planned that all out, right? ;)   Actually, it wouldn’t surprise me if he did, Patrick is just that kind of guy…and Tiffany that kind of gal.  More on them, and their beautiful wedding day soon…but for now, we are super excited to show off these lovlies..and a big shout out to Philadelphia for, well, giving us a gorgeous backdrop!  Congratulations Tiffany & Patrick!

Wedding: Amy and Juan (Sneak peek!)

The moment so brief… just a fraction of a whisper, of a moment, really.   When the Bride catches the first glimpse of her groom waiting…and the Groom first lays eyes on his Bride meticulously prepared to the last detail, just for him.  It is truly magical.  And in that beautiful moment, his breath caught with the softest sound, as the group of family and friends standing under the canopy of trees smiled simultaneously in quiet reverence.  Her eyes widened, looking bright with potential tears of excitement, and she crinkled up her nose and grinned so big and so happy, the entire group erupted into the same overjoyed expressions!  But this is Amy.  And this is Juan.  When first meeting them back in the Fall, it was more than apparent they were crazy about each other, and crazy about life.  Amy oozes happiness and joy and excitement, it bubbles over, and I just wanted to stand next to her and let it pour all over me too!  Juan has a quiet strength, especially with Amy but no less of a zest for life.  We were blessed by the time with them, their family and friends, and ever so thankful they walked into our lives last year, that we could share a warm fire and smores with them, and that we were witness and record keeper of this precious, beautiful day.

Many thanks to the amazing people/coordinators at The Wildwood Inn in Denton, GORGEOUS location and our second time to shoot a wedding there!  And we must give props Tim Former from Tangerine Salons for Amy’s beautiful wedding day hair and Jeremiah Garcia from Tangerine Salons for her fantabulous makeup!  These guys were there to take care of her every  need!

Congratulations Amy, Juan and both of your sweet families!

June 23, 2009 - 6:34 pm Amy Martinez - This is still so all SURREAL!!! I remember the first day I met him almost five years ago, I knew he was something different. My best friend Melissa was the one who told me that he was going to be in my life forever...she has seen my heart broken so many times. I am living in a fantasy and I love every minute of it. Thanks for my boys doing our hair and makeup and my mom doing the flowers, not to mention my mother-in-law did our beautiful cakes!!! I can only say that that day did not seem long enough!!! I can never thank you enough Treva and Bob!! We love you guys and we can never say enough on how greatful I am to have met ya'll!!!!

June 24, 2009 - 12:21 am Melissa Anderson - Treva & Bob, These pictures are amazing. I am so happy for Juan and Amy that this finally happened for them. They deserve everything in the world for being great people and great friends. I couldn't ask for anything better. Mel

Wedding: Gabriel and Hilary (sneak peek)

Her gown swished across the floor, I swear I could hear anticipated breaths up and down the hallway.  His eyes were closed, but his hands moved together in a circular motion, preparing, ready to gently brush her cheeks.   As they both opened their eyes, the emotion and excitement sliced through the quiet and tears sprung into her eyes.  And he could not stop the smile, obviously in awe of her, his hands reached up to hold her.  She fought back tears, not wanting to ruin the makeup she had just carefully applied, but the sense of relief was visible as they reached one another.  His hands on her shoulders, she slid her fingers up to his face, and they embraced.  This was their “first look” and we were moved to have been there, as were the very closest of their family..though I think Gabriel and Hilary had no idea were even in the room. :)

Thanks to the fabulous La Buena Vida Vineyards, this gorgeous wedding went like clockwork.  The couple opted for a small, intimate gathering, and their friends and family all circled them in the center of the beautiful courtyard where they said their vows.  Dwayne at Love Notes officiated, and did a spectacular job, it was heartfelt and beautiful.  The cake was not only delicious but sweet perfection, you can see all the details, thanks to Elegant Cakery.  And Tim Former played guitar, providing a unique and beautiful personal touch to the wedding.  What fabulous vendors they chose!  And the location was divine, we felt incredibly lucky to have been their photographers, and to have witnessed such a special moment in their lives.  Congratulations Gabriel and Hilary, you are such a sweet couple.

June 19, 2009 - 4:31 pm Jeanette - Wow Treva, These pictures are awesome!! You can tell this couple is so in love with one another and these memories you captured are priceless!!! Props to you and Bob!!!

Author: Bruce Miller

Bruce Miller has many roles.  We have experienced his role as our pastor.  We’ve heard him speak with deep devotion of his role as husband and father, son and friend.  These shots just capture Bruce as an author, and for those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to hear Bruce speak over “Your Life in Rhythm” you are really missing out.  I heard it while teaching at our churches preschool and it was a complete lightbulb moment for me.  Palm-to-forehead-duh type of moment!  And suddenly the insane pressure of being everything in every moment and attempting to balance it all was off of my shoulders.  Not to say I don’t need a refresher.   This second book couldn’t have come at a better time!  And with its release is the pressing need for professional shots to the various media and marketing sources, and it was our pleasure to help out with that.  I hope his wife will approve of the shots, that’s who we really wanted to please! ;)

As for Bruce (he prefers to be called that, so don’t give me that good Southern Baptist look when one has forgotten to use “preacher, pastor, and brother” as the title) ;)   most of his staff will say he is one of the greatest intelligent minds in the Christian world, and there is no doubting that being the leader of a church means living your life in a way that most of us should be living but often don’t.  What a blessing, and what a challenge.  For more reasons than we can ever express, we are thankful he is our pastor, and for this church, and that nomatter how often we fall in our humanity, God chooses to use us anyway. Pick up a copy of this book here !

June 12, 2009 - 8:24 am Christy Stout - Treva, These look great! Great job of capturing Bruce! Christy

June 12, 2009 - 11:13 am Jill - Treva, I love these! It makes him so personal. I wouldn't know which one to pick. I see what you mean about his library. I wish sometime he would have a list of books he recommends. I didn't know he had a first book.

Engaged: James & Audra-sneak peek!

When Audra contacted me about engagement pictures, her description was intriguing.  In her words, they were “not…um…the norm.”  And after getting to know her, and then hangin’ at their shoot, she was definitely right. And thank goodness. :)   I think there were several points during this session that I had to literally put the camera down from laughing.  James antics were caught in shots more times than not, and while there are just a couple on this sneak peek, I can assure you there were many, many more!  While attempting to get him in line, you didn’t have to look hard to see Audra’s eyes twinkle..she clearly loves this about James, among many things.   And editing these pictures this morning, I said out loud to myself (yes, I talk to myself) “how CUTE are they?”  I will forever remember their shoot with a smile, and hope they love us SO much they bring us along to Jamaica for their wedding.  I think there was mention of stowing us in a suitcase and sleeping in cots in their room.  We’re considering  it. :)

Congratulations James & Audra, you are wonderful, beautiful people.

Bob&Treva

June 10, 2009 - 1:58 pm Jeanette - That shoot was a fun one and I enjoyed tagging along! I can't believe you put up the pic of him sticking out his tongue! LOL Love the bokeh (sp?) in the last few pics posted!

June 10, 2009 - 2:55 pm Treva - I couldn't help myself, he is just TOO funny!!!

June 14, 2009 - 9:06 pm Audra Hylton - When I first spoke to you I told you I want photos that pull at your heart when you look at them. You have done a wonderful job and I cannot express my gratitiude to you. Audra

June 14, 2009 - 9:18 pm james nolly - thank you just being myself in a few ways.

June 14, 2009 - 9:38 pm james nolly - at least our avantness should be in the engagement section for those who want to NOT be traditional.

June 14, 2009 - 10:05 pm Treva - don't you worry James, your shots will be going up on our engagement portfolio front and center! Love you guys!

Class is in Session

We weren’t at all sure we would do it again, and somehow the persuasive powers-that-be (namely Abigail) convinced us that “oh yes you are” and how can we possibly say no to that?  So tonight, we begin teaching our third class (each class is four weeks long, or 8 hours)!  Last night Bob looked over at me and said “um, is it really starting tomorrow?”  Dearest one, it really is.

We usually show up tummies full of butterflies, wondering if its possible anybody thinks we’re worth listening to for two hours, for FOUR weeks?  Somehow we get through the two hours dry-mouthed and cracking a few jokes (or are they laughing AT us…hmmmm…) and in the end we’re both too wired to sleep. :)   So, for all our jitters, if you still find some reason to want to learn more about your camera, and more about using it as a ministry, and about photography, (in spite of us), contact Abigail here. And if you want more intensive business knowledge, we will be putting on a workshop in Mckinney later this summer, so shooout ooout!  (or email).

And just a reminder of the fabulously beautiful peeps that  manage to put up with us…our clients rock!
