A Classic Black Tie Wedding in Texas

Morgan and Alex’s wedding in Texas was unforgettable, and they are such a beautiful couple. This entire family holds a special place in my heart. This is my second wedding with this family, but I’ve done a lot more with them then just weddings. Morgan’s cousin Abby got married in 2021, and her and her husband Sam are two of my favorite people! You can check out their “Austin Outdoor Wedding“, too! Each and every time I have the pleasure of being around this family and capturing them is so special, and they’re always so welcoming!

Getting Ready With The Bride

Morgan looked absolutely stunning in her bridal gown. She was seriously glowing, and I loved the moment she shared with her mother while getting ready. Its obvious that these two have a strong bond and so much love for one another.

First Looks & Family Prayers Before The Ceremony

Something special about this day was the moment Morgan and Alex shared with their closest friends and family before the ceremony. After Morgan and Alex’s first look where they exchanged private vows, they headed downstairs where they joined their family in prayer. It was truly such a beautiful moment to witness and to capture!

A Beautiful Ceremony From This Black Tie Wedding in Texas

This wedding ceremony was nothing short of beautiful. I loved the way the natural lighting from the large windows flowed through, and I especially loved how they honored the members of their family who couldn’t be there in person for their big day. Seeing all of the photos and chairs saved in memory for those special people in their lives was beautiful.

Wedding Party Photos from This Black Tie Wedding in Texas

It’s pretty obvious how well loved Morgan and Alex are! They both had large wedding parties, and I loved the classic black tie look and the pop of color with the few ladies who wore hot pink! Their entire wedding party also had no problem hyping them up for photos!

Bride & Groom Portraits From A Black Tie Wedding in Texas

After the wedding party portraits we got some with the bride and groom of course! Alex and Morgan are such a beautiful couple and their love for one another is absolutely obvious. I love how happy and full of smiles they are, and its an energy that you cant help but feel when you’re around them. There was a special moment during their portraits where a butterfly actually landed on Alex’s chest!

Cocktail Hour & Energetic Reception From This Classic Wedding in Texas

Before the reception, Morgan and Alex had a nice cocktail hour for their guests to mingle and enjoy some drinks. The reception space was gorgeous, as were all the details and classic décor! One thing is evident about Morgan and Alex, and that’s that they know how to party with their family and friends! The dance floor was so fun all night long, and everyone had the best time. All of the guests loved the Intensity Band that Morgan and Alex had playing!
