From the moment I met Ragan and Alex, I knew their wedding would be something special. Their emotion-filled day at St. Stephen Presbyterian Church in Fort Worth was rich with meaningful moments and a joy to photograph.

The day began at a charming Fort Worth Airbnb where Ragan and her bridesmaids got ready. Her stunning blush gown from Kleinfeld Bridal NYC (originally found through De Ma Fille Bridal) was a showstopper. One of the most touching moments came as she dressed and shared a sweet first look with her father—complete with tears, smiles, and a gentle wipe of a tear from his cheek.

Before the ceremony, Ragan and Alex chose to exchange gifts privately, standing on either side of a church door. It was the perfect way to connect and calm nerves without seeing each other just yet.

Their ceremony was beautifully designed and planned by Grit & Gold Weddings with Lottie Fowler leading the way. Gorgeous florals from Oh Deery Floral set a romantic tone, and Grand Slam Glam made sure the entire bridal party looked radiant.

We were also lucky to have the day preserved on film by Turquoise Video Productions, with transportation provided by Igport Limos, and timeless accessories from Hulla B’lu. The groomsmen looked sharp in classic suits from Jos. A. Bank.

This day was full of beauty, emotion, and connection—everything I love to capture. Thank you, Ragan and Alex, for trusting me to tell your wedding story.
