Macy & Jake kicked off their wedding weekend in the most meaningful way—with a heartfelt rehearsal dinner at La Puertita at Joe T. Garcia’s in Fort Worth. With its vibrant courtyard and historic charm, it was the perfect setting for an evening full of laughter, legacy, and connection.

Rehearsal dinners offer something truly special: a chance to slow down and savor the people who’ve shaped your love story. From emotional toasts to the quiet glances exchanged between parents and siblings, there’s so much heart in these moments. That’s why having professional photography at your rehearsal dinner matters.

Jennifer was there to document it all—capturing timeless family portraits before the sun dipped too low, and staying through dinner to preserve every toast and reaction. These are the kinds of photos that couples and families treasure for decades: the big hugs, the happy tears, the proud smiles.

Macy & Jake’s rehearsal dinner wasn’t just the night before their wedding—it was a celebration of where they’ve come from and who they hold close. It set the tone for a joyful, intentional weekend ahead.
