I absolutely love the photo above—it perfectly captures the joy, ease, and connection that defined Christine and Andrew’s wedding day. After getting ready at a nearby hotel, these two chose the Winspear Opera House and Meyerson Symphony Center in the Dallas Arts District as the setting for their emotional and romantic first look.

When Andrew turned around to see Christine, his face lit up with the biggest smile. There were happy tears, long hugs, and so much laughter. From that moment on, the day unfolded exactly as it should—with joy, lightness, and time for the two of them to simply be together.

We walked to the reflecting pool outside the Winspear, and I loved capturing the quiet in-between moments—the shared jokes, hand squeezes, and sweet glances. Their connection was effortless, and because of the incredible vendor team, they were able to fully relax and savor every second.
