A wedding at Chestnut Square is always an amazing event to photograph. But this wedding was one that reminds us all that it is never too late to find true love. I know it seems most people get married young, but what about those who aren’t married yet and find each other later in life. The tears, the joy, the love that was shared reminded me that love continues in your second act. 

April and Tom are both skydivers…Tom being the leader of a skydiver group that you have probably seen if you have ever seen skydivers around the state of Texas. He has parachuted in  countless stadiums and done performances around the world. I guess it takes this kind of confidence to go skydiving on your wedding day when you are over 65. 

These two got married during covid with no one around, and decided to have another wedding when things opened back up again. Here is a preview of some of their photos from their wedding at Chestnut Square.

Hickory Street Annex is a beautiful industrial wedding venue near Fair Park in Dallas. Kelsey and Kevin picked this out as their wedding venue because the style matched their wedding vision and the look they wanted for photography. They also loved that the entire wedding would be indoors, not needing to worry about the weather that always changes in Dallas. 

Hickory street annex has an incredibly large bridal suite area which made for fantastic photos! The ceremony and reception were upstairs where the room is covered in windows. The whole area is a photographer’s dream, as you can’t get enough photos at Hickory Street Annex. Kevin and Kelsey had a great time and you could just see joy in their eyes. Their friends and family were excited to celebrate…especially after a year of covid quarantine.

The wedding photography industry has changed so much through the years. As time has gone one, more and more photographer’s entering the industry. The problem with more photographers is that more people are claiming experience but not providing the quality of photos that couples deserve. 

This couple called me after the photographer they hired didn’t deliver the quality photos they hoped. Unfortunately, it was too late to do anything about their wedding photos…but we could do a post wedding session to make their couple photos turn out like they dreamed. It is just another lesson for couples: you really do get what you pay for. Don’t risk it with wedding photos! 

Here is their post wedding photos at Rustic Grace Estate. 

A destination wedding at Rustic Grace in Dallas was the perfect spot for Jasmine and Leslie’s wedding. One of their families is from Puerto Rico and the other Hawaii. Can you get any further apart than that? So instead of having each family travel literally halfway across the globe, the chose Rustic Grace Estate as the perfect middle ground. Rustic, classy, charming, and a piece of Texas. 

When you get every single guest traveling from out of state, it is a party for everyone to remember! Friends and family gathering together that done often get to see each other. It was so fun to be a part of this wedding and capture their day. And not that is over, Jasmine and Leslie are back to serving in the military. What an amazing couple!
