Some love stories feel meant for Texas.

Emma and Tanner met at the 2025 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. Emma was working at Dickies Arena. Tanner was there providing police presence. For days, it was exchanged glances across busy corridors and crowded events. Until finally, they spoke. And when they did, everything clicked.

Now, as the rodeo season rolls around again, they are planning their fall wedding at the Fort Worth Zoo. Full circle in the sweetest way.

We spent the afternoon exploring downtown Fort Worth for their engagement session, and it felt iconic from start to finish. The city energy. The confidence they share. The way Tanner looks at Emma like he knew from the beginning she was something special.

They are grounded and joyful. Calm but playful. Completely themselves together.

Getting to know them beyond their origin story was such a gift. Watching them relax into each other. Laugh easily. Move naturally. And creating images that feel both epic and deeply personal.

Their story started with a glance in a crowd. And this fall, it continues with vows, celebration, and a lifetime ahead.
