As a team of Dallas wedding photographers, we are given the opportunity to work with some of the sweetest brides and grooms in the world. It is such a privilege not only to witness and document the first steps in their lives together as husband and wife, but also to spend time with couples’ friends and families. For a short season, we get to step into their world and experience all of the excitement, emotion, and joy of new love and adventures. And oftentimes we are welcomed as part of the family!

Capturing Taylor and Alex’s winter wedding at Ashton Gardens Dallas was one such example of how we are constantly reminded of the honor we have as wedding photographers. I had the privilege of capturing their engagement session in Dallas and our phenomenal associate team photographed the wedding day itself for a seamless experience. Although I was not there in person, trust me – I heard all about this beautiful wedding through the eyes of my photographer team! Their favorite moment by far was the first look where Taylor and Alex took their time “breathing each other in” (direct quote) and just basking in their love for one another. Looking at their wedding photos, I can absolutely see the truth in this.

I also heard wonderful things about the reception hosted by Ed Petty of LeForce Entertainment (who also officiated the ceremony)! While I was off capturing another beautiful wedding, I received a phone call from my team requesting that we add more time because Taylor and Alex were having SO MUCH FUN! In case you need proof, just scroll down through their reception photos!

Taylor and Alex, I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun we had serving you and your family through this special season of life. Getting to document your engagement and winter wedding at Ashton Gardens has been amazing, and we are so incredibly thankful for you both. Our best and most heartfelt wishes from the entire team at Emily Chappell Photography!
