Katherine and Ben brought serious style to their engagement session—her dress and his tux? Absolute perfection. These two are in the midst of a wedding whirlwind, celebrating friends across five states before they kick off 2019 with a wedding of their own, right here in Fort Worth!

Their love story began in December 2014 with a little help from fate (and some matchmaking by family!). As Katherine shares:

“Ben and I met in Fort Worth through his sister, one of my childhood friends, and his mom—who were both scheming to set us up. He had just moved home from San Antonio and, coincidentally, bought a house right behind mine! At first, we stayed in touch while dating other people, but once he got settled, we started seeing more of each other. It didn’t take long to realize we didn’t want to date anyone else. We made it official in June, and now—almost three years later—we’re planning a wedding!”

Their connection is effortless, fun, and full of chemistry, which made photographing them an absolute joy. They were adventurous and up for anything—waterfalls, bugs, and all—and I couldn’t be more excited to document their wedding day in January.
