Last November, I had the joy of Capturing Austin and Natalie wed at Marie Gabrielle in Dallas, TX—a venue that feels like an oasis in the heart of the city. The day was filled with stunning traditional and elegant details. Classic florals set the stage for the ceremony on the lawn, while soft candlelight and crystal accents added a warm, romantic glow as evening fell in the reception space. From the bride’s graceful entrance down the garden path to the classic black and white dance floor, every moment was impeccably curated, blending sophistication with heartfelt celebration. It was a truly unforgettable event that captured the beauty of love surrounded by elegance and charm for this incredible couple.

Moments that Moved Me

The moments that moved me most at the wedding were the ones filled with heartfelt love and presence. The parents’ toasts were deeply touching, a beautiful blend of pride, gratitude, and emotion that left not a dry eye in the room, followed by the mother of the groom’s first dance—a quiet, powerful moment that seemed to hold a lifetime of love in a single song. Adding to the magic of the night and a moment I captured with such joy, was the sight of Natalie’s grandfather, who traveled to be there for her special day, sharing the dance floor with her. Seeing generations come together in such meaningful ways made the entire celebration unforgettable.
