An Elevated Winter Wedding in Galveston

Allie and Chad had the most beautiful winter wedding in Galveston. They got ready at The White House Galveston with the most beautiful indoor wedding ceremony at St. Mary’s followed by an indoor reception at The Tremont Hotel! This wedding day was giving elevated beach vibes from the dusty blue color scheme and décor, and it was perfect considering we are home to Galveston Beach!

Capturing this wedding was truly special to me because this is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of capturing a wedding in this family. I was also Allie’s brothers wedding photographer for their “Sacred Heart Church Wedding in Galveston, Texas“! Allie said she knew from before her and Chad were even engaged that she wanted to have me at her wedding in Galveston because of how much she loved seeing me and having me at her brother’s wedding!

Getting Ready With Allie at The White House Galveston

Allie and her bridesmaids got ready for the day at The White House Galveston! You could truly feel Allie’s excitement for the day building and she was truly such a glowing bride! I loved the color palette and all of the soft blues scattered throughout the details and even Allie’s robe! I truly love the images from this part of the day as they all just feel so lively!

A Wedding in Galveston at St. Mary’s

Allie and Chad had the most beautiful Catholic wedding ceremony at St. Mary’s here in Galveston. Allie was so happy to be walking down the aisle to Chad and you could feel his love as he watched her coming down the aisle with her father. They didn’t do a first look, so this was their first time seeing each other. It was the perfect wedding ceremony!

Wedding Party Portraits Outside of St. Mary’s

I just loved the entire color scheme of Allie and Chad’s wedding party! The light blue along with the black just felt so elevated and timeless with the blue adding in that perfect pop of color to their day! These two are loved by so many which is evident just based on the size of their wedding party and everyone that was in attendance for their wedding in Galveston!

Bride & Groom Portraits From a Winter Wedding in Galveston

Of course after getting some shots of them with their wedding party, we got some portraits of Chad and Allie outside of St. Mary’s. Just the way Allie looks at Chad speaks volumes, and it’s moments like these captured in photographs that really just light my heart on fire!

A Wedding in Galveston: Elevated Cocktail Hour & Reception at The Tremont Hotel

I get to shoot at The Tremont Hotel quite often, and I’m never disappointed to come here! This was such a beautiful reception with stunning décor and color schemes! One thing about most of my clients is that they know how to party and have a good time with friends and family. Allie and Chad were no exception! Overall this wedding in Galveston was so beautiful and it was such an honor to be a part of this families celebrations again!
