Photographing Caroline and Mike’s wedding felt like stepping into a joyful reunion. Ten years ago, we had the honor of capturing her sister’s wedding, so coming back to celebrate with this family again meant so much to us. Their warmth, kindness, and fun-loving energy were just as we remembered—and it made the entire day feel personal and full of meaning.

The celebration took place at The Crescent Hotel in Fort Worth, with portraits just across the street on the lawn of the Kimbell Art Museum. Caroline and Mike’s first look happened in the Crescent’s art-lined hallway, a quiet and beautiful moment before the day unfolded.

Soft pastels and painterly details set the tone for the decor—lavender, blush, pale blue, and lush greenery created a palette that felt both refined and romantic. The courtyard tent glowed with soft lighting, custom signage from Crafted by Cambridge added artistic charm, and every floral element by TWE Floral felt intentional and elevated.

After a meaningful ceremony, the party kicked off with a packed dance floor and a fun surprise: Caroline changed into a second look and sneakers so she and Mike could truly dance the night away. From sweet family moments to high-energy celebration, this wedding had it all.
