Pre-COVID, Lisa and Frankie chose Rustic Grace Estate for their summer wedding. They fell in love the beauty of the venue coupled with the fact that they could have it all indoors! You can’t beat an indoor summer wedding in Dallas/McKinney while still having some room for outdoor photos. Honeybird Photobooth was there to entertain the guests with props and fun. Being a day time wedding there wasn’t much dancing, but that didn’t stop the guests from enjoying their time.

Here is a preview of their daytime summer wedding at Rustic Grace Estate. Enjoy the photos!

April contacted me in June about shooting her rescheduled and completely changed wedding thanks to COVID-19. It went from a large party to a small family gathering, but it still went on! They didn’t want their McKinney wedding to delay any longer. These two were ready to get married at Chestnut Square in McKinney. So…that is exactly what happened!

In the Chestnut Square Chapel, Eric and April had a wedding that their guests will forever remember. Guests were masked up, but present. After their chapel wedding, they headed over to Ricks Chophouse in downtown McKinney for a little brunch. COVID couldn’t stop the first dances, the speeches, and the good food. Congrats to these two!

Our blog had to take a little break from wedding photography thanks to COVID, but we’re doing what we can to capture what we can. COVID and government restrictions make it hard, but porch pictures have filled in the gap a little.

Our first round of porch pictures consisted of mostly old wedding clients who have since had babies and moved on to the next chapter of life. From wedding dress to baby rompers. Tie around the neck to bibs. Life changes. Love grows. And we are there for all of it!

Here are some quarantine porch photos we got to capture.

Rustic Grace Estate has always been a favorite of mine for weddings, especially in the summer. There is just something about a white chapel and old red barn that screams summer. And the fact that everything can be inside, in the air conditioning, makes it a perfect summer wedding venue.

Emily and Zac booked me a long time ago, and then COVID hit. There was a concern of their Rustic Grace wedding needing to be postponed, but they made it happen! With a few changes to the guest list and creative planning, they were able to make their summer wedding work in a time where nothing else seemed to work. It was such a sweet time to see their family and close friends rally and celebrate with them. And I was thrilled to be there to capture all the wedding moments for them to remember. Oh, and did we mention we had insane wind, rain, heat…and a sweet old car? Cause we did.
